I've put this off for a long time, but after a year and 20,000km on this
bike I have to accept I'm probably not going to spontaneously decide the
whole motorbike thing is not for me.
|
Got any pics?
|
Heh, you look like a homeless version of Champ
I was thinking more along the lines of a loved up version of WC.

What?! I fail to see how, other than the wall might suggest the homeless
bit (it was actually taken on the terrace of a rather nice restaurant in
Budapest).
|
Okay.... it's no big issue.
|
Go on, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sure he'd be delighted.

simply horrible.

|
if it's any clue as to just how horrible, I think the Harley looks
nicer than the beemer.
|
I sort of like the Beemer, but I think I prefer the looks of the ST over the
|
The modern styles must be taking their place. I actually preferred the
looks of the 1150RT and the earlier more rounded K1200GT, but the 1200RT is
lighter and more powerful than the 1150. I'm quite fond of the looks of the
bike now.
I admit I chose the bike mostly on sentiment - I've liked RTs since I first
saw them under gendarmes in France in the '70s. But it was a practical
choice too; I can easily carry all my rock climbing gear. We're off for a
week's climbing in southern Switzerland tomorrow, starting by crossing the
Simplon pass.
|
I hate you.
|
Me too.
|
I would too. It was great. There's not much wrong with living in the Alps
and riding a motorbike.
BTW, aparrently I'm Hyde to your Jeckyll. Or Jekyll to WC's Hyde. As well
as being in a quantum superposition with someone who knows something about
bikes. I'm beginning to detect a pattern here. Perhaps I'm a collective
UKRM alter ego. I never thought this would happen when I took my test.
|
I'm not sure I understand any of this paragraph, and even less sure
that I want to.
|
It's some kind of anti-Evil-Twin thing, as far as I can make out.

Anyway, where's the KotUKRMRM#?
|
Hey, I think I might qualify for that! Is there a minimum grade? Is there a
|
Well, that's kind of what I asked where the KotL was...
|
snow and ice, er, monkeys list as well?
|
Don't think so; maybe you can ask the KotUKRMRM# for a "special" number.
|

|
RT.
|
I wouldn't buy one, but I like the looks of the HP2 megamoto.
|
Yeah, kind of "mildly admires from a distance" thing. In a tossup between
an HP2 and, say, ebay item 250156954712, I'd probably go for the old heap.

|
|
You're not the only one, actually, but I make no excuses for the bike. I
love it.

How is it that when you buy a bike you have to get all your clothes from

You don't, unless you ride a BMW.
|
the same shop?
|
Did you get the ging-er there too?
|
|
|
|
Well done. His spickiness will be along dreckly.
|
|
Did it fall off the back (or side) of a container ship?
