Worst Things About Biking.......

You mean I wasted an hour cleaning mine earlier

 

All the very best to you and SWMBO for tomorrow, DD.

Don't forget - we need piccies or it didn't happen (it says here).

Oh ... and cake - we need cake!!

 

Ditto - all the best DD - enjoy the day and the future ahead.

 

You should try out the bugs near a rape/canola crop in Australia !!! Bike changes colour and puts on Weight !!

 

Congratulations

 

Thought you meant rape the bugs ! Was thinking that's a new one !

 

Yeh i know it aint but i hate a dirty bike,now the car's a different matter that gets a valet once a year when it gets its service whether it needs it or not.

 

Commiserations ... er, congratulations mate.

 

Tell that to my boss*

I much prefer cleaning bikes outside in the sun catching rays and dosing up on vitamin D than being inside stock taking as I've been stuck doing these past few days.

*in the dealership where I work** p/t.

** hang around chatting bollox to punters

 

Worst thing about biking ... fecking slow van and line of frigging cars you can't get past on the A6003 Uppingham Road stretch up from Caldecott when you've specially got up at the crack of dawn this morning to blast it when it should be traffic free, grrrrr. Mind you, the A664 down to Harboro was empty and an absolute stormer, so not all was wasted.

 

Oddly enough I enjoy cleaning the bike. Perfect time to light a cigar, pour a beer and spend some quality time the garage.

 

So you're married then.

 

The Arizona desert heat in the Summer. Riding anything anywhere above 110 degrees is akin to sitting on an easy bake oven facing a blast furnace.
I used to say rain as I rode without a helmet back in New Hampshire and it hurt. Now I'd go for lots of rain vs. this damn heat. It was 118 degrees F yesterday.

 

Damm right...That is nothing more than positive discrimination against a section of society that choose to ride two wheels as opposed to four ( like the rest of the sheep on our roads today.....cagers ) Any petrol station that has refused to serve me for not taking off my helmet get two fingers and i take my custom elsewhere....simple as that..

 

Is that really based on legislation ? I reckon it's forecourt staff who've been told to watch out for bikers, nicking off.

However, prejudice against bikers - that's another topic altogether. If you question a niquab-wearer about identification they might play the religion card, but biking isn't yet categorised as a religion? Here's an opening for a Triumph-riding Billy Graham to come to our aid.

 

I thought we were all satan worshippers!!

 

Worse thing about biking, is the 3,000 mile a year leisure riders who come out every spring and run back into their cars at the first whiff of a winter chill.
Reason ?
Well because these people seem to represent the majority these days, the trade guides base their average mileage on what these idiots do.
I'd love a new, or nearly new bike but I can't because after two years and about 25,000 miles, it would be almost worthless.

 

Just think of how they are reducing your insurance premium!

 

Not just diesel, but also farm byproducts - I hate broken bones! Diesel broke my arms at 10 - 15 mph years ago and the other smashed my tib & fib 6 months ago.

I'm now waiting for a lowering kit to get back on the bike after my longest lay-off since I first rode a bike in a field, about 40 years ago.

 

Wow that's brilliant Jez a lot of work gone into it and seems to swipe just about all religions at one go - very funny.
