Title: Ran into a rider today...
Post by: aaronstj on April 16, 2006, 10:47:55 PM
I was stopped to adjust my gear today, when someone came to talk to me about my bike.  Which I thought was cool, being new to the whole motorcycle thing, it's nice to have outsiders recognize how unpeakably cool I am.  But, lo, Mr. Pedestrian was a biker, too.  Turn out he'd recently bought... a Suzuki Ninja 1200.  Nice.  I told him sounds cool, and was on my way. 

Secretly, thought, I was burning up with jealously.  I can't wait to upgrade from my 500.  Gonna buy me one of those sweet Suzuki Ninja 1200s.

hahaha...I wonder what he was actually talking about...if anything at all. I think you got your first taste of a bystander being jealous enough to lie to you about riding, to be as cool as you....LOL...

No idea.  Apart from the obvious wtf, I don't think either Suzuki or Kawasaki make a 1200 these days.

Guess so.  Almost as cool when someone complimented me on my paint job, "with that paint, it doesn't even look like an SV."  :icon_mrgreen:

Hmm... Was, it looks like.  No such thing anymore, though, according to Kawasaki.com.  Guess he bought it used.  :icon_mrgreen:

kawi zx12r is still made, possibly last year was last year or production. suzuki has the bandit 1200 (not a true sportbike IMO) and the gsx1300r (hayabusa).

Good god, dude.  Are you still confused?

The guy was full of crap when he said he had a Suzuki Ninja.

The Ninja is a Kawasaki.  And therefore, full of crap.

No I wasn't talking about you.  I was talking to Roguegeek, who was being obtuse. 

And John, the 3rd party speaker in Aaron's original story was full of crap.  If you bothered to read all my posts, like every good boy should do, you'd know that I am thinking of buying a 650R.  And remember, you can't ban me.  I run Bartertown.
