I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

04-05 ZX10r = Crim. Because it's like hanging around a criminal. Hang around one or the other long enough and you will end up dead or in Gaol!

06-07 ZX10r = Gumby. Looks like it's made out of playdoh like Gumby

08-09 ZX10r = Bug. Front of it looks like a Bug

03-04 ZX6r = Barra. Has the same suspension as a wheelBarra :lol:

05-06 ZX6r = The Bullet. Fuck knows why it's only a 6r dontknow.gif :twisted:

09-10 zx6r = The Mozzie. Looks like a baby bug

I couldn't think of any famous ranga women who got beaten by husband either.
Lindsay didn't fit so Gerri it was anyway
