A Conversation for Mostly Harmless MC- The H2G2 Motorcycle Club

The seventh day

On the seventh day, God created the CZ. He later had his ghost-writer cover it up.

I would:
a) like to join.

b) Like to list my first bike as a CZ 125 (the finest motorcycle ever to emerge from Czechoslovakia), my current bike as a Kawasaki ER-5 (recent purchase - any advice gladly received), and my virtual bike as, to be honest, any one which comes with a blind-van-driving-pillock-detector (can't be that hard in this day and age).

c) Like to hear from any die-hard CZ fans in Yorkshire who might want to give me 300 notes for my taxed-and-tested G-reg '91 125 showing a genuine 14K.

Thanking you for your time,

Surrendermonkey

Ey-up! CZ boy eh? Only bikes with a deliberate neutral between 3rd and 4th for going down all those steep hills.

You in the RL CZ Club? Keep seeing them at the classic shows. Some nutta with a cz-350 done up as a harleyesque chop and another with a racing CZ. The best rat bikes in the world.

No I do not have any desire to purchase one though smiley - smiley

Consider your self a member merely by posting here. Bad smiley - zen is probably lurking somewhere to officially welcome you!

You know how it goes - rented a scooter on a foreign holiday, bought one upon my return, had it nicked, bought a CZ, passed full test and moved into the real world.
Nearly four years all told.

Eh up indeed - are you qualified by geography or parentage to use that greeting...?

I never joined the CZ club because I was never an enthusiast - more a reluctant economic exile from the world of bikes worthy of an electric start and in fact, if you like, a CZ unthusiast.

So hows the ER5 then? Enjoying it?

Geography!!! Well, near enough. Chester I come from.

I passed my bike test about 5 years ago. But not been riding all that time.

I'm a bit frustrated by the weather, at the minute. I ride in gales and I ride in storms, but the minute it's icy....
I've only had the ER5 since the middle of Jan, but yeah - I'm loving it, when the temperature climbs above freezing.
ER5 - Vrooooooom!
CZ - phut-phut-put-dinga-dinga-dinga. And then, before you know it, Clunk! - walking home.

Vicky - I have a Twix I don't want. You can have it if you like.

Welcome to the club (well, I've updated the member page - I reckon anyone who asks is automatically a member anyway, just as Ictoan says smiley - smiley )

And my hard drive died. I wouldn't care if it was any other component of this box. 40 gig worth of data...gone. Ah well, at least I'd backed up the important stuff. And I'd actually written down my BBC login details...what a pain. I'm going to have to reinstall everything again once I buy a new HD and give back this borrowed, miniscule(!), 6 gig drive.

Moan, moan, moan.

Hey, what's happening with our nude protesting for a smiley - biker smiley?
