The other day I was getting all misty-eyed ..... ... I had taken apart my beloved 12R... stripped all of my custom bits off it and prepped it to trade it in for the 10R...
For a moment I got a little emotional... I thought about all of the great times I had had with my 12R... the fact that this very site and this community exists because of it...
then I snapped to my senses because I thought of a very specific commercial... Substitute the bikes into it and it hits the nail straight on the head... I dont think you could say it any (pardon me) fucking better than this commercial does...
so here it is for everyone's enjoyment as it is one of my all time favorites and it sums up this whole thing better than I could ever say or write!

I am with Andy. I felt like an idiot at the end. I can see your point, but if you had did that to the 12R, and I was your neighbor, I would run outside in the rain and bring that bike into my garage. I would bring it a blanket and hot cocoa and we would talk all night about how distant you have been lately.

Oh well! -------------------------life goes on!
It's worse than replacing old wifes! U know! Bikes are much more forgiving! Viagra works better for your appreciation for going for a ride espesially for more than 8 sesc!!

BULLSHIT my bike doesn't have any feelings - JEEZ. When I treat her right (yes she is a chick) and give her good oil/gas/airfilters she loves me and runs like a champ. When I neglect her, and give her crap gas or don't change the oil frequently, or forget to plug her in to charge her battery - she shits all over me.

That's a good commercial. I'll probably never sell my 12. But I will get me a zx-10 next year.
