    I used to own one of these, but not any more

    aww man that is savage. I would need an extra two hands though, one for my Pimp chalice and the other for my pimp walking stick. That is deadly.

    Every now and then I advertise it for sale, then find a reason why I can't part with her.

    Without doubt the best bike I've ever owned.

    I saw one of them parked beside Pearse Street cop shop a while ago. They look really unstable, even though I know it's not.

    My current 2 scooters, one of each flavour of Italian design!

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
