Author Topic: Like puppy dog eyes (Read 3997 times)

Well folks Ive done it again, just like walking though the pound, where there is always one dog with them puppy dog eyes, that no matter how hard you try to say no too. We found another wreck, repairable write off, and after doing the math, on parts and my labour time, we went ahead and parted with our hard earned bucks. But on the down side, it makes me a traitor. But one really good point, it aint a bloody Hon Hooon ,arh bugger it, one of those shyte buckets. What I have got is a 2001 Kawasaki ZRX1100 Eddie Lawson replica. Low K's has been very well looked after, and has some pretty good gear on it. Cost 2 gorilla's and with the parts required to repair it, plus paint, engineering certificate for VIV test and rego, should see change out of 2 more gorrilla's, just. Book listed value of over 8 gorilla's. So with it as a trade-in I will be able to redeem myself around christmas time and get the brand new B12.

See if every bit of bad news comes some good news.
Ok guys hiding in the corner, let me have it. I got broad shoulders.

The Rex is a sweet ride, do condemnation from me. Just no centerstand.

Sounds like a sweet deal. You may end up liking it enough to keep it.

I need help with terminology. 2 gorillas? 2 grand? Hon Hoon? Honda?

Now here is the larger question, the dog's goolies? I told my wife that I thought that she was the dog's goolies, neither her nor the dor seemed pleased.

Congrats on the bike, the Lawson reps are nice looking Kawi's!

You may be able to figure it out from this page....

Goolies, balls, ballocks, cojones, huevos, nuts.......

Mick....the I chose between a ZRX and a B12 when I bought my Bandit.
I made the right decision, sorry you didn't.

Just kidding, it's an equally good bike.

That's great Pete! Now I can gen up on the "other" english language. Maybe I'll try telling my wife that she is "scrummy". I have a feeling that this will result in a reply closer to "on your bike" before it will lead to me being "on the job" though.

That Aussie dictionary is the mutt's nuts!!!

Good one! Those E.L. reps are pretty cool, almost like the next best thing to a Bandit?
And if you do go ahead and trade on a B12........COOOOL!!!

I will use it for a stop gap bike, it will get the little lady off that shyte box Hon hoon,sorry just carnt bring myself to used the word. Which by the way some very nice lady has made an offer to purchase the above mentioned pink bike, and at a price we can not refuse.

So anyway Donna will move on to the B6

sob sob, I love the little thing its such a fun bike, I'll get the Rex, and about Jan maybe Feb next year should be in the black enough to use it and cash, to buy a B12

Hey and its got a centre stand.

That sounds like the duck guts bloke. Having to pay for a wedding wasn't a consideration was it.

Don't worry it was Donna who first found the T-Rex and made the suggestion of buying it fixing it and using it as a stop gap measure.
And believe me when I say she aint forgotten the deal New ( as in Brand new) bike for Mick a weddin for Donna. The Rex aint brand new phew.
