What else could such a beautiful sunny day be used for when you have a day off work...but to go and pick up the new (if somewhat controversial) addition to the family! Lemonchili dotted the i's and crossed the t's on the deal for his new 1125r today at Morgan and Wacker Brisbane. Glenn was great and went to a lot of extra trouble to get the deal we wanted with a few little personal extras. Here's some happy snaps of the new baby.
This was the reaction when Glenn told Chili he would have Harley roadside assistance coverage...
Formal handing over of the keys..
Not so formal handing over of the keys...
The proud new parent..
Rearin to get on the road
Looks like we have some new adventures ahead of us. |

Nope. I refuse to ride it on moral ground/principle currently. But I am adhering to the theory, that now he has a new one I get 51% rights to the other one by default ..Oh and Shawn, if you ever do make it over here, you can take your pick ...double dare ya!

I refuse to ride it on moral ground What are these morals you speak of? And who did you steal them from? |

Haha Neverenuf! Nice one. It's all in good fun. I don't need leverage. We're on a pretty level playing field. I'm glad he got his new toy. I don't want either of us to have any more regrets in this lifetime. Ok ok, so I'm not looking from a very high moral standpoint here, but that's my story and I'm stickin to it! I hear you can buy a set of morals cheap on ebay these days ) |

Hhhmm, we kinda did. Some things just have to be done though I guess. Not something we could really postpone until a better time. As far as we were told today no more will be coming to Oz except a few 10's at full price. Even some of those are already spoken for. |

I'm thinkin it's a boy. X needs a ridin buddy. Have a few in mind, but they say you never know someone's name until you look them in the eyes. It will come in time. We've only had one girl in the family (Matilda was my first bike-Tilly for short) then there's Zed and X. We'll let you all know when he's baptized or broken in! |

Nope-no lectures required here N. He can go if he likes, but I'll be catching some z's...it's 1am in the morning and we've been renovating all day. We have got a nice long easy ride in the works to get some miles up, but the spontaneous purchase of a motorcycle unfortunately (for Chili) doesn't seem to cosmically alter the universe enough to create more time in a day to ride it. Bummer huh? We have to keep a little perspective in place if he wants a garage to park it in any time soon |

I have decided to name him "Ronin". ronin [ˈrəʊnɪn] n Japanese history 1. (Historical Terms) (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a lordless samurai, esp one whose feudal lord had been deprived of his territory 2. (Historical Terms) (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) such samurai collectively I've only put a few km's on him so far, running like a dream (Message edited by lemonchili_x1 on November 17, 2009) (Message edited by lemonchili_x1 on November 17, 2009) |

Hey that name/title fits all buells now. Ronin Motorcycles. A divine wind of change to sweep away tyranny. Congrats on the purchase. If the shocker were keys, which is the ignition and which the starter? |
