How do you forget you have a 750 in the shed?
« on: May 17, 2011, 02:54:02 PM »
I'm constantly amazed by people who "forget" that there is 200 kilos of metal rusting away in the back of their shed, this GT750 waterbus has been tucked away for 20 years...2o years??? How do you forget such a thing!! >:(

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

"Ran when parked"...<chuckle>.
Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.

Interesting that you call it a "water bus" down there.  We call it a "water buffalo"up here.  Never seen one with clubmans before.

Maybe he got himself something air cooled and was having too much fun to think of it again.
