bimota


After more months of trouble with the Triumph, and the godawful service from AMPS motorcycles in Auckland, I've decided to move on and get rid of the T595. In the meantime, I've just purchased an immaculate bimota YB8e. This is a 1994 model running a Yamaha FZR1000 engine. Its just been serviced and will be shipped in the next 5 days. I'll post more when it arrives.

Nor a political statement...."

YES. I found it! :)

This is...
This is not a lyrical assault
nor a political statement
This is not a miracle
historical or ancient

This is not a threat to you
or your life and soul
This will not lead you to
a dim and darkened whole

This is not a joke
nor is it a lie
This will not make you choke
up with tears or start to cry

This is not a battlefield
from a long lost war
This is not an annual collection
for the blind or poor

This is not a holiday brochure
for a relaxing vacation
This is not buried six feet deep
to substitute cremation

This is not a set of keys
for the doors of your future
This is not a gentle breeze
blowing toward your suitor

This is not a stumbling block
to trip and move off line
This is not a ticking clock
that dosen't tell the time

This is not an ostrich head
in a pile of sand
This is not what the captain said
when he spotted land

This is not a dollar note
to swindle with or bribe
This is not a famous quote
chipped by an unknown scribe

This is not a nuclear war
where bodies char and burn
This is not to even the score
between the gardener and the worm

This is not the secret to life
the recipe of mothers milk
This is not a mountain ride
and the sound of ripping silk

This is not a state house
whatever I may think
This is not a well rolled joint
or a relaxing drink

This is not the product of
pain and perspiration
This is not a flawless plan
this is inspiration.
