I got my K8 out for the first ride of the season last weekend.  Had to put warmer stuff on 'cause it was a little chilly in the bright sun.  Bike started with no fuss, ran smooth all the way to the local twisties.  Hunkered down over the short bars, I kicked it down a gear, and brought the engine up to a nice scream, and hurtled on through with a big grin.  As I reflected later on how much fun that was, it never crossed my mind that it might be even more fun on some other bike.  I can't understand why someone would care if the other years were different, I'm havin a great time on this one.

Welcome, ksbrenn :)

It's really an inside joke from old forum members (before my time, too, but I caught up). The jibes at K8's are mostly tongue in cheek. This thread was made to goad a certain member into replying. :)

No MLinder, those things are all true about the K8. :)   The worry is what will happen to all the abandoned and leaderless disciples without their head apologist?   Who could possibly replace Eldar?  :-\ :'( :'(

If I ran into you on the road, the only view we would probably have is asphalt, sky, asphalt, sky.....

So who is this ELDAR dude?  Is he any good at spotting babes, or did he only get a look at the backside from the side of the road.  Would there be any advantage to filling his shoes, or would it be more akin to being the whipping post, frozen in concrete in the middle of the side yard?

And thunder comes from Harley's, K8's scream!
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.

Nope, on a new thread called Wanna Know Who Killed the Babe Thread. They will hunt you down.
It is most popular thread on this site. 200 hundred pages of hotness collected from around the World.  ;D

Ah yes, but the shameless thread has 652 pages, none of which feature the gallivanting strumpets you so eagerly display on the babe thread.  Only the greatest intellectual and philosophical discourse takes place in the pages of the shameless thread.  We shall not stoop the level of our base instincts!  So consider yourself bested (or perhaps breasted), BobbyR, by the towering intellects of the SPBT!
