Proof, if needed

[guest7]

Proof that you need a sense of humour to run a two-stroke these days.

A recent Facebook status update made me laugh and laugh



"My 1982 ypvs , everytime i start it a polar bear falls off a melting icecap and a star dies ....sorry mr bear and star its a two stroke . and that smell stays with you from your fizzy days at 16 ....lol"

Graham, I have no sense of humour and I ride a two stroke. I wonder why you would think it a necessity.

Graham, I have no sense of humour

You have but it's a very strange one.

[Steffan]

Yea OK, I'll grant you Mark a bit off beat but this patronising undercurrent of
"ooo errr..oh my, isn't it quaint, its a two stroke and ooh, I say, look at the rider, how amusing. Of course none of my friends would ride a two stroke today, I mean...well it is so passe'. After all today we are so concerned with global warming and the environment we only watch professionals ride motorcycles" 

Yep, an off beat sense of humour!

Tell me, do you think that was a bit harsh? Now be honest, I mean I am trying to more sensitive these days, I have even thought of buying some chinos but some how I just cannot bring myself to do it. 

Two stroke riders, don't get cute with us, the only way the others could keep up was to ban us!

Rock on Steve.  Take no sh*t !

 

Just been running the TS125 up and down the alley by the house.  Back brake is really crap, idiot lights need replacing, front brake is as good as an MZ drum ever was (crap).

Immense fun.

So small and light.

Tetchy   

I did enjoy the bloke's polar bear line though, it did make me giggle.

I'm not sure my last two hours of hooning around Cardiff on an XBR is very green either. I am a happy boy now though. Motorcycle therapy.
