Took the Blade in for a service this morning, all togged up as usual, you know race boots leathers knee sliders black visor (as the sun was shining) etc . . . . .and what loan bike do they give me?
CBF 250 !!!
I look a proper twat sat on that in all my leathers, and the power of it, I had to change down 2 gears just to get up a small incline on the North Circ. You have to plan an overtake about 3 days before you want to do it, and hope that you don’t start going up hill or you are royally F****D. Got burnt off by a Honda Dylan 125 scoot from the lights, and I think I have dislocated my wrist from constantly trying to ring it the stop.
Mate of mine used to keep his bike in a garage about 3 miles form his flat, he used to ride his 50 cc vespa to the garage to collect his bike in full leathers
hahah I had a Honda Lead 100 once as a loaner… that was fun ragging my mate on her R46 round Purley Cross dragging the body work then again down the zig zag at the top of box hill
I used to take my 1200 to CBS in Whitham for it’s servicing. The guys there love to take the piss!
“Unfortunately the 600 Ninja is booked out mate, but you can have this” pointing at a 125 scotty thing (X9???).
Me in full Hein Gericke Tribal leathers, Ti sliders, black Simpson lid with black visor. The looks I got! But the best one was a bloke on a bandit pulled up beside me at the lights (I was bouncing on the seat with the throttle fully open - trying to get the back wheel to spin up) and asked incredulously how the hell I got my knee down on a scoot.
but if I am really lucky I will get the GS500 again
