Bit harsh isn't? It's probably polished anyway but no need to piss on her fireworks eh?  |

Bit of a nasty comment IMHO.
Some people buy fast bikes, whilst others earn them.
FC has earned her litre bike because her riding is good enough to appreciate it. She doesn't need to bandy about "RWHP" figures for self-justification. |
its not self justification, I like the power, it helps me get round tracks quicker(with the suspension setup). Hence, fingers crossed, I can hopefully beat the 1.03 minutes round pembrey.
Chrome/polished is very hard to keep shiny due to the shit conditions here, even in the US/Australia.
Its a gorgeous bike, I know, I've had 1, but the chrome is just wrong. |

Wasn't meant to be a personal attack  , the comment just seemed a bit harsh.

HOLY SPARKLES! 
There will certainly be no missing you!
Looks lovely* FC! Can't wait to see you both out on the roads!
*Obviously this is my opinion, other people are quite welcome to wrongly think it looks shit.

Lovely looking bike Barbara!
I'm smiling today as the air con at work is broken. I'm nice and warm and there's no nasty draught being blown down my neck.

Pics of my new love, taken by her previous (grieving) owner. They don't do her justice, believe me!
As with all new loves, there are also the not-so-brilliant bits one learns to accept. Previous owner highsided on a new tyre/wet manhole cover at the top of his street. Cosmetic damage plus pregnant wife insisting he get rid of the litre bike and get a 600 means I got a cracking bike at a bargain price! Will have her on the road in no time!

Very nice

I have a job interview lined up 
It ain't my dream job, sous chef at the Bear in Oxshott, but it will be nice after 2 years of agency crap and college boredom to actually get stuck into a job!!!
If I get the job I will make sure it is all BHF friendly!!! Wednesday night at the Bear next week? We can all make sure the menu, service and drinks are up to the required standard...  |
