SMC Rocketeer Rides

i can house small bikes, but if you leave them here in pieces i cannot guarantee things will not be lost.

anything intact will be left intact, dry and secure... which is more than we can say for the rockets left in stephen's care!

hahah... sweetness! i'll now scrounge through the funds and leech away 200 without it being to obvious. slowly we will take over my parent's misguided preconceptions of all 2-wheel vehicles, and be free from this mild form of tyrany (tyrany, love, same diff)!

btw, lovin the new bike.... it's all red whit and blue, but that's all good... we can all IMAGINE it's in repsol colours instead. that aside, i like the front end of it more than the vfr's. square-ish lights look nicer.

About an hour ago me and unisafe met in battle, while riding around epsom carpark with ruth (hanne's littlest sister) they saw fit to lock the gates at the entrance.
Now, that'd be fine, if they had closing times, but they dont, and when i went to the security office to get it opened i was told they'd locked it because we were up there.
The guy i was talking to (the one who locked it) thought this was just, i pointed out there are no signs up there. He asked who said we could ride round up there, i asked who said we couldnt. I then reminded him they had just closed a student carpark with no hours and a vehicle was locked in. I was told to go for a walk and they might unlock it later...

So a couple of minutes after i'd got back to the car and put the rockets in another car on the outside, the dude arrived and unlocked it, more words etc etc. I've said ill be in to see his boss tomorrow, i dont think he believes me

If they want to try to tell us we cant use the carpark, they can try, but they went the wrong way about that one!

Nar, i fixed these rockets, none leak anymore, the exhaust fell off Ruth's one at one point tho

And yours needs the fuel filter tied up as its showing the same symptoms as andrews did, with the filter slightly above the rest of the line

cinese range from our $200 jobs to $500 watercooled to "rather more pricey" replicas of:
the italian pocket rockets which cost $1500 upwards

had he been reasonable and asked/warned you this would've been fine and could have been organised nicely, but NO they alwaays have to go ahead and be dicks about it.
