GOD BLESS ENOCH POWELL

KTM LC4 640 SM.

Fairings are for HOMOSEXUALS

Walking in town the other day and I spotted a piece of walking excrement. I pointed it out to the wife. She could not see it. I pointed again but to no avail. I took her right up to it and nearly stepped on it ... oh that she said. No dear, thats a copper.

Ducati 996. Ok for drag racing but forget taking it round corners.

CG125........for the simple fact you have to plan 10 minutes ahead for an overtake by which time the vehicle you wish to overtake (milk float) has turned off and the road is clear once again

CZ 180. Slow, top heavy, unreliable, horrible teflon tyres, unreliable, ugly, boring, crap handling, (did I say unreliable?), embarrassing to ride.
And I couldn't even sell it 'cos it was over 125 and nobody with enough experience to get a licence would be stupid enough to look at it. (Except me apparently, D'OH!!!)

I bet no-one can beat this one for undesirability.

M reg Fireblade.
It was very jumpy on the road for my liking and but my skill level was not good enough to be riding that bike at the time though fooking fast though.

RS50. My mum used to have a pink one with a whicker basket on the front for the shopping, having to ride that to school with all the other kids passing me on skateboards shattered my confidence for life

fzr1000 exup but deciding to swap bikes with ya mate on a B road covered in leaves, when you've never ridden a sports bike wasn't the cleverest idea! apart from that, me leg started cramping up after 20 yards. got to be the shortest distance I've ever ridden a bike, after 200 yards I stopped and said he could have it back!

the worst bike I've ridden (the exup is a damned good bike, it was me who was shite) was a cg125 - what brakes? Only bike I've ever ridden where the forks don't compress under braking, mainly cos the brakes are shite

HONDA CUB 90 when my bike was in for a service.

almost smashed into the back of a car because I never thought about the brakes being so crap - it took about five double-decker bus-lengths to stop from 30mph

not being used to a 3-speed semi-automatic gear box took a bit of getting used to as well !
