Title: Do bikes know when they're going to be sold?!
Post by: Chojin on October 05, 2015, 12:50:13 PM
So I decided to go to work on the trail bike this morning for the first time since deciding to chop it in, the very same bike that has *always* been a pig to start, the very same bike that the clutch complains like mad when cold, the very same bike that's caused me nothing but grief for months and is the prime reason why it is being shifted on.

Well suck me off with a rusty vacuum cleaner, it bloody well started ON THE BUTTON with no fuss whatsoever. It didn't complain when riding off and it behaved itself *all* the way into work.

My question is this: Does it know? Is it sentient?
In all the time i've had it, it's never done this before so I can only conclude that somewhere deep inside the frame, probably between the camshaft and the cylinder head is a tiny hint of being that just feels guilty for being a cunt all these months.

No in my experience.

Sell it for being a cunt all this time and robbing you of the enjoyment of ownership.

Bastard of a thing.

I'm also with MOz.

They also know when it is the last session of a trackday.

I'd suggest they don't know if they're being sold to Carbon....
