PoolHaddock Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I think we should have a motorbike appreciation thread. I love motorbikes. I havna passed my test yet, but I'll hopefully get it this summer so I can buy a bigger bike. I have a Honda 2004 xr125. I keen they are dangerous, but they are great fun. Every time I drive through Yell and sheep gets a gluff and runs across the road and I survive, I get a nice warm feeling inside.I used tae have a suzuki, but Dad crashed it when he hit a sheep in Yell! Anyway, I keen I'll likely get some replies saying "You stupid ba***rd, how can you be so stupid" but I'll cross that bridge when I come tae it (and I'll be on two wheels doin 90 doon da pavement) But anyway, does anybody else hay a bike? Have you passed your test? Was it hard? (the test) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolHaddock Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yawn yawn? My motorbike shoots fireworks oot the exhaust and has liquorish handlebars with a George Foreman "Lean mean fat grillin' machine" mounted on them. It can also fly, and drive under water, and I have the original impulse engine from the star ship Enterprise. Beat that guest! (you should know it also has an anti-beating mechanism as standard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HacksawDuggan Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Every time I drive through Yell and sheep gets a gluff and runs across the road and I survive, I get a nice warm feeling inside.I used tae have a suzuki, but Dad crashed it when he hit a sheep in Yell! Why do you no build fences in Yell to keep the sheep aff the roads lik they do everywhar else in the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Is it no because they have lost the will to live , in yell? I'm sure i've heard them shouting "kamikaze" as they leap onto the road. In fact was ther no a legendary incident whar a ewe jumped off a brew and through the windscreen o' a coonty truck? Maybe that wisna Yell, but i'll say it was anywye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 But seriously, they are very nasty dangerous things. In trucks, they dirty the tires, in 4x4s they dirty the bull bars, in cars they break your headlights, but on a bike a ewe is total destruction! Bent forks, bent frame, major damage, and that's all before you hit the road sideways! Horrible creatures! (apart fae the Yowe, of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolHaddock Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Was dat recently? :lol: I'm sure i've heard them shouting "kamikaze" as they leap onto the road.Ha ha ha, I missed yin the first time I read it. Interesting factoid: If you hit a ewe, and it's standing side on, you'll just squash it. If you hit a ewe that's standing head on to you, because their spines can't be compressed front to back, it's the equivelent of hitting a massive stone (aboot 35 kg dangling on a string in mid air), and if your in a peerie car, you'll end up with your engine on your lap. 8O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I was behind a car doing 60 once that clipped a ewe and it did a complete horizontal 720 in the air before landing, sprickling, and ran off the road, jumping a crash barrier and fence in one great leap en-route I got out to try and spot the poor beast int the field , but every ewe visible was contentedly eating 8O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
