Fan mail

One of my UK readers sent me an e-mail today:

From: Anthony Taylor <yankeetosser@yahoo.co.uk>
To: tex
Subject: Scum

Just wrote to say that you characterize the worst king
of scum that exists on this planet. Would try to
reason with you, but the problem with you right-wing
fucks is you're too stupid to see reality as it is and
just stick to bigoted views. Instead I will try to
convey to you your essence, namely distilled scum. If
the revolution comes in your sad little lifetime I
will personally piss on your bullet ridden corpse.
Guevara was the best man to emerge in the 20th century
and right-wing fuckwits like you killed him. Anyway to
conclude, come over to England and get your teeth
kicked out of your rotten mouth.

Yours Sincerely,
Your Better

PS. You've never got laid, right? Its easy to tell
from your frustrated rhetoric.

Awww. Thanks for writing Annie. As reward for your efforts, here are a couple of nice pictures:



Guevara in his most useful role: compost.

Mwahahaha.

The 4th Ashes test is like watching a car wreck. Australia could hardly be playing any worse.

 

The bike review I forgot to write - Honda's CBR1100XX Super Blackbird

A few weeks after testing Kawasaki's ZX-12 last year, I finally got a chance to try out Honda's big roadburner.

Released in Australia in 1997, the Blackbird has been overtaken by the ZX-12 and Hayabusa in the 300kph+ top speed stakes. While it has received a few updates (fuel injection, higher screen, updated braking system), it is essentially the same bike.

So, what's it like? It's a better bike than the ZX-12. It's much comfier, easier to ride, has better throttle response and it looks sensational.

As with other roadburners, the Blackbird is a big, heavy bike and is meant for the open highway and fast sweepers rather than twisty backroads. It is a mile-eater par excellence. A super-smooth hyperspeed cruiser which soaks up bumps and keeps you in comfort the whole way. The handling is pretty good for such a big machine, but like I said, it's not made for the ultra-twisty roads on the Alpine Way.

The blackbird uses Honda's much-maligned dual-braking system, which for this kind of bike works pretty well, quickly hauling the bike to a stop from high speeds.

Build quality and finish are first-class, the instruments and switchgear are work well, and the whole look of the machine is slick and classy.

The biggest problem with the blackbird is its suitability for Australian conditions. Our fast backroads are infested with ridiculous speed limits and swarms of police speed traps. Use this bike the way it was intended, and you're not going to have your licence for very long.

Bloody great bike though...
