I reckon you aimed for every sharp bit of crap on the road just so that you could get your spanners out - ye cybernetic grease monkey

I do like a bit of wind though, I've been messing with it since before it went metric.
Mind you, I couldn't convince anybody to take it up the wind tunnel until '81
mid-engined 2 seater with Alfa motor - didn't come to anything but you could say it was my first official blow job

Anyway, Stay out of the gutter and stop looking for excuses to get your tool out every 2 minutes

That's just the Suzuki wersion, the BMW leak proof air is £4.99 per p.s.i.
Totally worth it because it is harvested from high in the Bavarian alps by buxom blonde frauleins and sold in very stylish titanium designer packaging which is made in Taiwan.

Yet more proof that a BMW is way too expensive to run!!

In that case, one assumes BMW stands for Buxom Mountain Wench.

Lo Deeping, yep...I've got the Blue stuff! I know the military grade would have sealed it. You just want the air to stay in the tyre and get you to safety in the military. Long term doesn't matter. But then, on a civvie bike, that probably wouldn't be good as the tyre in this instance is badly damaged inside. The retail Ultraseal won't permenantly seal a tyre that is badly damaged. My tyre has streaks of blue oozing out in several places where the tyre is damaged. This is to tell you (or me in this instance) that the tyre is shot! At the workshop, the guys said I was lucky I had the Ultraseal in the tyre as it prevented a blowout/sudden deflation. In fact, pressure loss was not measurable. Interestingly, now the tyre is off the bike (I brought it home to study, yeah...I know I'm weird!), I've found no less than 2 other nails in the tyre. They are tiny, the heads worn off but both have penetrated and been sealed by the Ultraseal. Now considering I check my tyres each time before I go for a jolly or off to work, I'm staggered by this find. Admittedly, I don't go over the tyres with a magnifying glass each time but I do what I believe is an acceptable inspection. I can only think that because the nails are very narrow shanked the heads come off almost right away and the nail becomes invisible very quickly. Without the Ultraseal, I'd have experienced a slow puncture on those two nails alone!

If this is correct then ten grand is cheap, women are usually much more expensive than that.

Don't worry, they are "fast women", you won't catch any while you're riding a PCX

The air init is only rated to 50mph

I find that the PCX is ideal in this regard, I simply let the fast women catch me.

Careful of fast women that are a bit slow and who catches what

No need to worry about any of that, I have a talking frog.

You see nobody considers the technology you get with a BMW -

They invented teleportation (as Data can testify), that is why they are called Beamers; they just beam your money straight out of your pocket without you doing anything at all.
They even stop your wife going through your pockets (the bike always gets there first)
