The Rant Thread

Thats because Texas have mental gun laws. It's probably legal to shoot someone just for thinking about stealing your bike in Texas.
I am not speaking with complete ignorance. My Farther Bro live in Texas.

In the next few days I will no longer be an FZ6 owner.

To say im pissed off & upset is a complete understatement.

This is not good! Forced sale???

We are getting a new car. Something more modern & way safer for lil baby Disco.

As well, I want to ride in the desert. Makes sense out of the Strom or the FZ to let the FZ go.

Even though doing something to protect my lil bundle of smiles, still doesn't ease the pain of letting Trinity go

Sad day Stu, but, your kids should ALWAYS come first. More men should do what you're doing. Your unselfishness will pay off one day. Family car today, toy tomorrow

 

[Kriswithak]

I think that is a bit unfair Kazza, you never hear about women selling off all the shoes clothes and accessories for a safer car

Its good that your keeping a bike however, men getting back on motorbikes after years without them mainly due to kids are one of the most at risk rider groups. Debatable whether being unselfish might be fatal in some cases.

I can understand your motives
About 22years ago (yes I can be that certain) I sold my XR200RD, a fantastic dirt bike, to buy 2x 2'5 seater lounge. Suite.
We had a baby on the way and it was the only thing that could realise a few grand at the time.(no_one would pay for my body and the wife at the time was seriosly preggers so lets stop right there) anyway I took the bike for one last run. I went out. No licence, no reg and no brains, for the last 2hr run. It was great.... No cops, no dramas... A great way to remember the bike

I hope your memories of the fz6 are as indelible as mine of my 1st Honda
I understand your dilemma!

I sold my ER 500 to get a deposit for our first flat. It wans't the best bike in the world. But it was my only bike.
It wasn't a difficult decision to make. I lived close enough to work to walk. We didn't have a car either.
7 years later Avril brought me the FZ6. A pretty good return on my investment lol.
There is always a bigger picture.
Good luck.

Hopefully in 3-4 years time when $$$$ will be freed up again, Yamaha has made the bike I'm waiting for.

The cross plane cranked R1 motor in an FZ1 :rockon:

Lol...I did almost exactly the same thing to jess yesterday!

Her parents are now getting a Grand Designs DVD now!

 

[Kazza]

Yep, time to put a "Black Joe Lewis" cd on Ebay....

 

[Humperdinkel]

Not really a rant but it frustrates me so I ask......

Why dont motorcycle orificers have to wear any gear ?? I was overtaken by one today & saw one on Saturday , both in short sleeve shirts , NO gloves & only wearing those pretty little pants they get issued :eyebrow: :shakehead:

I think they should be made to lead by example , what do you reckon ??

The dude that over took me today even had the nerve to look me up & down as if I was the odd one out... Maybe he was concerned by my crocs :justkidding: :ban:

Ah, but that's not all.....have been reading about guys getting pinged for lane splitting a bit in Adelaide in the last 2 weeks....Motorcycle Blitz on in Adelaide right now...so every innocent bugger is getting booked for FE's, and Tyres, lane splitting/filtering...

So what do i see yesterday, a cop bike splitting lanes like the best of us...no indicators, and you guessed it, a short sleeved shirt, and those stupid pants that look like gay horse riding pants! (no offence meant to any gay horse riders!)

Lead by example.....not likely buddy!

Same ol' , same ol' again..... One rule for them & another for us :shakehead:

I was going to mention those 'pants' the same way but you just never know how many gay horse riders there are out there......... Hey , good luck to them if they are but they are a touchy bunch when you start talkin' bout them :BLAA:
