Don't you just hate...

[Crazy Turbo Beast]

Ah a gap for a car, sure, we can get three in there.
No its my space I'm not moving!
BEEP-BEEP

[Dave]

Awaking to a nice sunny morning
Wearing the jacket without the thermal lining, vents open
Having a comfortable great run towards Aberdeen

….then entering the har ( haar, coastal fog, sea mist, harrrrrraaarrrraaaarrr... what ever it is called) zone

that stuff is cold

[Dave]

Don’t you just hate... trying to look at a youtube clip and all you get is "The uploader has not made this video available in your country"

do not let a wee bit of water put you off

If you do, then you will never get out to play in Scotland

Me, I don’t mind a bit of rain, makes me slow down a bit and it is still enjoyable

[haiax0]

Just need some fully waterproof gear as when the im cold and wet it sucks the fun out of it some what

[Dave]

... cold and wet it sucks ...

I know that girl , but do not tell the wife

[Gazza]

Me, I don’t mind a bit of rain, makes me slow down a bit and it is still enjoyable

Me too. So long as you have the right gear on to keep you warm, it's more fun as slower speeds. A nice easy to control supermoto or dirt bike is best.

After a winter using the GS, I was comfortable in wet slippery conditions and very rarely had any slides

When I was on the KTM in the wet the other day, I was sliding and slipping thru every roundabout ...loving the control and feel that big machine

being knocked off your bike, your bike being dropped by the recovery agent, then finding out that the total time from accident to return is likely to be longer than 40 days..... ......and still havent hadf confirmation the recovery agent will be repairing the bike.....

AND

none of this is your fault

[Dave]

Returning to your bike, only to find it has had multiple ‘bird hits’, and all over the seat



I returned to the office to get some toilet paper, but the lad sitting next to the window said I was too late and the birds will be miles away.

[oollit]

Going to road tax the bike, and discovering that the loving MOT ran out the day before yesterday

Not quite as much as I hate Honda's 7mm exhaust manifold studs, managed to get all the nuts off (only broke 1 stud) only to find the threads are completely bitched. I have just about every metric nut & bolt ever made, but apparently no loving 7's. Looks like I will have to wait until tomorrow or Monday to get new nuts before I can get the exhaust back on the bike, which also means that I am going to miss my 9am MOT tomorrow.

...You move position on the seat to get a bit more comfortable, only to accidentally cause a scrotum/boxer short pinch that can't be wiggled free.

Takes big balls to have them rubbing against a GS or RT engine block

[Dave]

Still being at work and cant leave until you have had a phone call, but the number is 'busy' and all the time it is getting darker outside

Ah the Joy's of reading your post from the comfort of a big leather sofa infront of the TV, he he,

welcome to the site


but to start off with a whinge

[bob r6]

2 be fair mOst people on here do! Then when something happens like the other night other people are 2 happy 2 change face! Yamaha posted alot of good info about alleged thiefs which most off as far as I can prove was true! Hopefully the police are going to do something more pro active now and save this happening again! I am prepaired 2 be shot down in flames but to be honest I don't. Care!

[Dave]

... but to be honest I don't. Care!

I think you do !

And good on you


I think most of us care
I think most of us are frustrated
I hope we all stick together
And yes..let us whinge, rant, have a gripe...but don’t let the bar-stewards get us down !

[bob r6]

Dave I do actually do! I contacted the p&j on several occasions about bike thefts and they printed nothing! Alot of people on this forum said lots of things but most I feel are key board warrior's! Why should we pay insurance,road tax and mot's for twats to come along and take our possessions and ride them as they want? Why should someone who has a 6 yr driving ban at only 19 be on the streets able to steel a bike and ruin the live of a citizen because they are driving recklessly the whole thing is wrong and needs to be changed! If only the courts and press were on our side instead of branding everybody as bikers!

[Dave]

Approaching a car on a straight, no junctions, no driveways, going for the overtake, then the brake lights on the car light up ...
...that is not nice


The brain starts thinking ....oh fcuk why ...hit the anchors yourself...what is going to happen...then relax and carry on while wondering if the inside of your underpants are now that same colour as they were when you put them on four of five days ago
