Offered a spin on a '98 R1 - and turned it down!

[Pete.]

My mate Dan popped round on his bike this afternoon and offered me the keys for a spin, but I had to turn him down as I'd has a couple of tinnies and was busy building my new workshop. Never mind eh there's always next time.

Pics of his bike:

tut tut parking on double yellows looks nice.

No parking warden would ever dare ticket a '98 R1

What you don't realise is that turing a 98 R1 down is like turning the queen down for an invitation to a royal dinner. Highly offensive.
I would have gotten on it and ridden. Never know what happens when you offend a 98 R1...

[Ghost]

Yeah, the bike might be lurking under your bed or in a dark alleyway somewhere waiting to get you now

[McGee]

It's black, so it will call you a racist.

"Yo youz didn't ride me cause I is black, I and I are gonna 'ave a throw down."

I think you will find that the '98 R1 does not park on double yellow lines - it simply hovers above them

[Funkmeister_Smith]

It's a long story and someone will be able to link you to the origin of this debate, but 98 R1s have the amazing ability of being able to alter speed with a slight twist of the throttle. 'mazin innit!
We also recently discovered that they were manufactured in the future but were so fast they came all the way bak in time to 1998.

More 98 R1 facts:
A turbocharged 98 R1 doesn't exist. That would be like Chuck Norris with two beards.

You don't ride a 98 R1, it rides you.

The only two people who can control 98 R1s completely (but struggling) are Chuck Norris and Techno Viking.

[Funkmeister_Smith]

Hmmm... I dunnooo.... It sounds a bit far fetched to me... but ok then, I believe you.

I heard they don't run off petrol but off the souls of baby kittens. Won't somebody think of the kittens!?

It all started about Colinwall and his '98 R1 testride, and how we went on and on and on about it.
I started the trend, i didnt know it would go this far
