    Hmmm it helps to be asian, not married, no mortgage and blithely unaware of things like economics. Plus, I don't drink, do drugs or gamble (unless you count riding motorbikes as gambling! )

    And I put this question to you ... how come a man of your esteemed business acumen and technical know-what-sits has only scoot to tool around on? I would have thought there would have been half a dozen mayhemsickles in your stable! (Or are you just a very loyal SNAG to your one and only scoot?)

    Ooh, that reminds me, I haven't bought another bike in over 6 months!

    Seriously... get something that doesn't consume parts like they are going out of fashion.

    My zx10 was terrible, using up consumables in half the time (or less) compared to a hornet 900, and the hornet was more fun. The new toy is better than a zx10 (I can't think of many much worse) but a bit worse than the hornet.

    I have a mortgage... Sigh... No drink, no drugs, no gambling. Not half a dozen, just 3. CBX1000, GSXR1000 K2, GSXR600 K5 race bike.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Liking scoot is like having a bitch mistress. Expensive, dangerous, hard to live with - but more addictive than crack...

    What's the new toy?

    So you have been addicted to crack before? I guess that explains the nervous twitch you have whenever you play with Scoot's throttle!

    Me, I have a life long addiction to little model soldiers, with the glue, paints, aerosols, hobby tools and all the associated items of an addictive hobby. On top of my other pecadilloes and eccentricities!

    Gorge was beautiful with light traffic, out three heroes made their way to the city of roadworks - Tauranga. Met King DMNTD, talks and sat on many a bike, and drooled over Ducatios and Trimumphs.

    LOL.

    I saw you guys riding through Greerton that afternoon (about 4-5ish?)

    Wouldnt have noticed you if it wasnt for someones red camo gear.

    That hooligan one without the pipes under the tail looks sweet.

    I expected you to be much taller. How do you climb up onto a 900 Hornet, or have you installed a lift?
