"Hello Baby" the words I utter every time I walk into the garage and see my bike. If I start calling her by name I think it will be time to get a "check up from the neck up", but I can't help it, this bike gives me loads of fun and I cant wait to get on her again (oh er steady). After my regular 200 mile stint on a Sunday morning I arrive home and the temptation is to go again. 500 miles is nothing this bike and its level of comfort and I am seriously considering riding to Germany next year in a day on non highway roads, cant wait.

The Gen2 bikes talk back too! When you shut it off, the display says "See you next time"

I'm glad I'm not the only one that talks to her! Always give her a tap on the tanks and say thanks when I put her back in garage!

I understand. Last time I was out at Romney I saw my original Gen 1, PDP bike still sitting on the sales floor. I can't help but pat it on the headlights as I think of all the places that bike traveled with me (us). I don't talk to it, but I think about it.

Got word today my current bikes made it from Alaska to Romney. Happy they are someplace as safe as home. Can't wait to get out there this weekend and bring them back. I've missed them.

So....does that make you Batman? ::012::
Well.....actually...yes it does :D
Some of my costumers call me Batman....
The short explanation is this:
I earn my money by doing service/repair/installation on plastic injection moulding machines from........ Battenfeld = Bat(man) ::012:: :D

I have always called my bikes 'her' and 'she' like they were human :D ... as an aside the guys in Skellerns said you had been in when I took mine in for its first service ;)
