Re: CONFESSIONAL
Some poor soul at an old work place of mine had his pipe sabotaged, with the use of many matchhead shavings. When it "went off", he screamed & threw it across the room. This was approximately a week after someone had grated a chocolate bar into it, & continued to smoke it with a quizzical expression on his face, but never said anything.
Bloody dangerous mind you.

Re: CONFESSIONAL
Before I bought my gorgeous first R1 I was actually looking at gixxers
I did see a couple of them but they were all so blinged up and the owners came across as such tools that I didn't want to be branded with that glittery stamp.
Instead I went for the hairdresser R1 and had many years of hedge free fun.
Ah, tis good to get that off my chest at last.

Re: CONFESSIONAL
I once sat on a MZ.
Never told anyone before. Keep it quiet.

Re: CONFESSIONAL
I ran an MZ250 through 2 winters. It was amusing, handled well (for the time), and was good fun. Nobody ever tried to steal it. . . .

Re: CONFESSIONAL
Class mate was 6 months older than me. His dad got him a step-through Honda 70.
I was still illegal but he let me have a go. Went for a 2 mile loop, but it could not get up the steep hill back to my house. Had to turn around and go back the way I'd come.

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Re: CONFESSIONAL
Umm no. . i never thought of that. My main last 3 bikes have been zx10 zx9r z1000 .
I also owned a cx500 about 10 years back, only lasted through 1 winter till it threw a conrod.
In fact the only non 4 cylinder bike I've owned and not blown since 1982 has been that mz so it must have been tough.

Re: CONFESSIONAL
Ok, let's do this! Years ago I was out very late with a friend. We'd been ermmm enjoying ourselves and were a little worse for wear. We came to the top of a hill and at the bottom, we could see a massive fire directly adjacent to a house that was obviously occupied, we charged down the hill and went about waking up the dwellers with some haste. We pounded on the doors and windows shouting FIRE, GET OUT at the top of our lungs. In a panic to get them up and out and with thoughts of people burning in their beds I went round the back to see if I could make better progress Once there, I realised that our fire was actually massive heat lamps for the nursery that in the back yard. A new sense of panic began to arise with the thoughts of terrifying these poor sleeping beauties and potentially having them think it was some kind of sick joke, we buggared off really quick before we were forced to come face to face with our mistake! Oooopssssss!!!!!
