The Evolution of the MotorCycle. This from "two Wheels" magazine out of Australia in the early 70's, written by Geoff Seddon. On the first day, God created the Heavens, the Earth, and the Wisemans Ferry Road. But he wasn't happy. His Kingswood would sway on the corners, crawl up the hills and use heaps of juice. On the second day God took a new tack, and created the stepthrough. He enjoyed the wind in his hair (He hadn't created helmets then), it was fun, and used bugger all petrol, but it still crawled up the hills. So on the third day, God created the Honda Four, and it flew up the hills. With four into one's, it sounded better, it never broke down, but the corners remained a problem. Yet he had tasted power, and craved more. Thus, on the fourth day, He added two more cylinders and created adrenaline. His Insurance premium doubled, and it cost a fortune to get the tappets done. He also created fear (His hair turned white), and the cliche "Enough is enough" On the fifth day, God blew a couple of joints had a rap with Willy G, and created Harley-davidson. He would cruise up and down the hills in top gear, and pick up heaps of Babes. He would get off on the note. But the Hog was heavy, broke down a lot and handled like the Kingswood. Then on the sixth day, He made the Bonneville. he would still pick up the babes outside the Wisemans Pub, and it sounded good. His bike was light and for the first time the corners were fun. It handled ! God was stoked. But the vibration gave him a pain in the arse, his kidneys were history, it was a touch gutless and he ran out of juice every 100 miles. He wasn't happy. But shit, He was close. So finally, on the seventh day, God produced a motorcycle with the speed of the Honda, the torque of a Harley and the handling of the Triumph. He could afford the petrol, tune it himself, pick up chicks and still blow off Ducati's through the corners. He called his bike Norton, and he was happy.
However, God was so happy with his Norton that He invested in the company pension fund, and after some time it came to pass that He found Himself a lot less happy with His creation....
