Ok, we all stand in awe (or is it AAAAHHH!) at how Roadstergal goes through bikes. In a spirit of good humor and love I submit the following...

Goat has "Goats Syndrome." (Edited per Disease Review Committee Chair Srinath)
I have "Starwalt's Disease." (As RG would say - "search for it")

It is only appropriate that RG, admittedly an immunologist by training, has a disease named for her.

(Drum roll please).....I submit that we call it "Motorfickle - type RG"

It could be defined as - "An overriding urge, or inner need to buy, sell, or trade your present motorcycle. This condition may, or may not, occur after modifying, or not modifying a presently possessed motorcycle. An essential indicator of this disease is public photography of any or all of the motorcycle(s) in possession of the patient. Leather riding suits that catch the eye are not an indicator of the disease."

This definition, or a variation of it, requires review and approval of the Official GSTwin Disease Guru, Srinath.  Maduro Mistress approached the subject over in the General section with her question on lusting over other bikes while in your current "relationship."

Let the peer review begin!

No argument.  Passes here.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Motorfickle - type RG.  I wish I had this disease.  I wish I could look at the buyers guild and think, "Eh.  Why not?"

But there will never be anyone that has RG disease.  Do you think that somebody will ever rise to that level?  

It is the rarest form of malady.  An affliction shared only between Jay Leno and Road Stergal.

OK I take that back ... we should name diseases after the person that first gets it, but only if the bike is suffereing from it. Yea this seems to be more of a RG's ailment of sorts if you can call it an ailment ...  
BTW there is a srinaths disease ... when your electrical systems blind end plug has a few wires poking through and has the rubber cover on it come loose and make contact with ground and it runs the starter continously and makes it burn up and die ... that = Srinath's disease. Happened on my virago 1100 back in July.
Cool.

Good point.  Would being ridden by RG be considered suffering, or would being sold/traded after being ridden be considered the suffering part?

Yea that sold/traded/dumped/cast aside uncermoniously in exchange for a burger would definetely be a huge blow to the ego of any breva ... so Yea being tossed away in favor of a Burger = suffering.  :lol:  So they get RG syndrome right after she dumps them ... OK I'll buy that, while its not a physical ailment per se, its debilitating effects are well documented.  :lol: OK.
Cool.

So what is the difference between Srinath Disease and Goat Syndrome.  You've got the constantly engaged started and subsequent chaos.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Nice term, but RG isn't really in pain or discomfort about this. I am just trying to codify a condition or categorize an observation for future reference.

Frankly, I think she is a freelance motorcycle journalist in disguise. She looks a damn site better in leather than Peter Egan ever could.  :thumb: (For those who don't know, Egan is Editor-at-Large for Cycle World.)

I'd also take her opinion as gospel on any bike she has ridden. (no sucking up here)
