First post on the long awaited 600 shoot-out! I feel like such a nerd! Where's the Kawi?

bimota · 02-13-2001, 01:36 PM

Opps, read the story, figured out where the Kawi is, along with where the Triumph is. Sorry.

OH MY, I waited this long and they didn't include the Triumph or Kawasaki bikes. What's up with including the Ducati but not the bike that won last year? I'm actually in the market for a 600 class street bike, and was hoping this test would include more than just those three.

Uh, to curtail current rage that is currently spouting from the oral orifice of a co-worker, please read the entire story before commenting. There's a lot of text and sidebars that will explain everything.

Over and out.

Nepenthe · 02-13-2001, 02:06 PM

Oops, sorry, you are exactly right. Now I see, great idea guys!

It's funny he posted without even reading the comments I posted about being an idiot for not reading before I posted.

As for your co-wprker, get him a drink.

I need a drink. I can't count how many hours I've spent messing with this story, it's videos and related sidebars.

I think HackFu can say the same.

Minime was off playing in Spain with the FZ1 whilst Hack and I toiled away...

I missed the mail, and thus the ensuing discussion concerning making MO a for fee site, so I don't know if any conclusions were reached.

Insulting your readership is not the best angle for a subscription site, though. Having just read this article, it's amazing that even the captions are jabs. With a website that garners this much attention in the motorcycling world, and having this "slashdot" topic discussion forum, people disagreeing with your writing format should be commonplace. Does every flame needs to be argued against to keep the staff mood high?

It does not take genious to paraphrase poetry, or to compare motorcycles to drunken sh*t.

A rant for a rant...

Er, I toiled before I left. Now leave me alone while I huddle in the corner with a sex-pack and some Tylenol, nursing away my headache.

Serious -- that WAS a Freudian slip. I meant "six-pack!"
