Of the beak
« on: July 12, 2016, 16:13:25 »
Just an idea, but why don't we introduce a small nameplate section to people's profiles. For example members that have a bike with a beak on can have their forum name and then underneath "of the beak", this will allow normal people to recognise them much more easily and allow us to keep our distance?   :eusa-doh:

That's a bit beakist, Josh.  I like it. Have we a member anywhere called Anton? He could be Anton du bec. Even better if he was a Canuck, Anton du bec de Quebec!

I was going to comment but decided I should keep my beak out and just bow to your superiority  :bow-blue: :bow-blue:

Far too beakaphobic,  I'm proud of mine, and it is a disgrace if us lovers are to be lowered in the pecking order for our preference of protrusions...

Shame on you Josh, those of us that are naturally perfectly formed and don't need an extension shouldn't pour scorn on those that do.  :smirk:

Well, actually, I think people who have bought a new bike (in the dark) could be forgiven, however, anyone who bolts one on to a perfectly good V-Strom (thus making it liable to ridicule and depreciation in value by 25%) should be medicated.

Ruining the looks by fitting a beak to a pretty bike is quackers.

Careful, Suzuki will take that and claim they were the first to have it on their bikes  :smirk:

It's obvious Rusty. The headlights are rounder in the disguised photo.
