Choices are hard...

Being a Bike lover can be *Difficult* at times.

*corrected xD

Well based on what some others have said it can also be quite hard. Although I imagine that gets painful after the first Km or two.

Define what you mean by Painful ?
Physically painful is your too big for the bike your on.
Mentally painful only applies when you start seeing blue lights flash behind you....

I meant the bike seat wasn't shaped with space for Mr Johnson to be standing at attention :p
Damnit don't make me explain innuendo.

Physically: Riding a busa/ZX14 at full tilt, feels like your arms are being ripped off.
Mentally: Not having all the bikes I want.
1litre engines:blue lights become blue specs in the distance xD jk.
I don't think I have been pulled over for speeding on my CB1R, Just the normal road blocks once or twice.

I have been pulled over for speeding, got a warning. Have been pulled over for number plate and got a fine. At roadblocks they never moan about anything with me...
I don't drive away, Fear of worse punishment is unfortunately a thing for me.

I don't even want to know, but I have to say. You were "Riding" the bike wrong. That hole is for the key....

.... No, just no. That's not where I was going and at this point I have to bail. *pulls rip-cord and ascends into the air*
 
I like my bikes somewhat stock. Except a zorst xD. All the rest I generally leave stock.

I misread your initial post. I read you could find a realistic one.
I agree on leaving it stock. let me know when you get the KTM. Would love to see it in action.

Yoh, you are one quick reader then. I did make a typo so you read it correctly, I thought I managed to correct it before anyone would notice. Obviously not. xD

I was sitting at the office waiting for a courier in between clients, so I read the email before the forum post. Which you cannot edit.

Wow

Two total different experiences.
When I financed my car, it was simple easy and it was done quickly which scared me how quickly you can be approved for that.

Simple short story: Fiance needed car, I applied for finance, I was being paid kak money back then so I expected not to be approved, I applied anyway because I was getting new job with better money. I was approved with previous pay which is what scared me. If I had not gotten a new job then I wouldn't be able to afford the finance for the car.

So now I want to finance a bike because I have been given a nice raise. I can afford it hands down.
Finance is a bitch.. They just don't want to do it or something. I have sent payslips,statements several times with each time something being wrong with them. Latest one is "The date is cut off".... Which it isn't. It's a bloody recreated statement emailed to me directly from FNB... It's generated ,not a scan.. how can the date be cut off? WTF?!

Go to Standard bank.
I bank with FNB but my Finance experience was much easier was Standard bank. Applied on a Wednesday and collected my bike the Friday after work.
