Rimutaka Road rage

[matkat]

Hey Guys ... I read your comments with interest ... "3 sides to this story" ?? , Fraid not matey. You've heard the story, The police have the assault complaint (and the photos)

You need to remember in all this that his problem was'nt so much with anything particular 'We did' ..(other than pass him) .. He was screaming like a girl at the wrong time of the month at the carpark that he was just "Sick of you C***ts on bikes" ... "We all think we own the road" (apparently) .. and "The Tukkas is his road cos he lives in upper hutt" ... (all makes perfect sense to me) lol

Now then , Update: Graeme received a phone call this morning from our retarded friend. Vieled threats along the lines of "I know where you live" , "feel like another smack in the face ?" and "are you going for a ride tomorrow ?"
He started the call pretending to be a biker asking Graeme if he felt like going for a ride ... (as if he was trying to find out exactly when he would be out) .. Graeme was confused to begin with , thinking that (maybe) it was someone I knew asking him along for ride (G's not been back in town for long)

So , Ya ya , Of course we've told to cops and added it to the assault complaint , but the worry is , He's obviously more than a few short of six pack , and is this twat going to sit on the hill all day waiting for us (or some other poor biker) ?

I dunno ? .. but he won't sucker punch me a second time that's for damn sure.

So, now I've told you all this ..who's up for a ride tomorrow ? LOL ...

Seriously , we'll be leaving Wgtn around 10ish ..if anyone's up for B'fast in M'boro etc ..

Good work Paul, I can rest easy at night now!

Was that you just getting to the cafe as we all took off?

Yup - did a quick tour of the carpark in case there were any starlets, had a coffee (needed) and a sliver of vickis mud cake (not needed) and caught up with the last of the ride at the Paekak look out...

This just gets better and betterer.

Went for a nice spin with Vicki on the Moto Moto Guzzi today and ended up coming back across the taka's...

We had ridden non stop from Woodville (gasp) so we were pretty well in super groove - making the miles mode wanting to get to the cafe to meet up with the Kapiti ride. You know, well into the swing of it neither pushing hard nor dawdling, slowing with the gears and seldom touching the brakes. A couple of normal cars were dispatched with casual distain and a gentle squeeze o throttle and a boom of exhaust... Pah! are gods of speed and THIS is our Olympus....

And then, glimpsed on a bend and closing fast....

A STARLET.......

A WHITE starlet and this was a fat piped, turbocharged Galanza version.....

This thread surfaced onto the top of the scum that floats in my brainal cavity..... I remembered the agro, boping stick and the threats - was I man enough?

Unexpectedly, the Starlet jinked left into the slow side and waved me through - I suspected a trap! - I suspect bopping stick but Guzzi riders are used to adversity and abuse so the throttle cables were stretched and the mighty Guzzi leapt forward howling its challenge to the dread white starlet of doom

We squeaked through but the hairs on my back were slick with sweat and Vicki was holding tight.

Fear not the White Starlet of the Takas children for we have met it in its lair and proved its frailty.

Hell Paul, I wish I lived at Petone again, you guy's are having "all" the fun!

The Taka's were dull by comparison in my day! (circa: late 1950's)

Why? Because people had road manners back then, or what?

Why? Because people had road manners back then, or what?

Possibly because there were less people on our roads and the roads were more difficult to travel on in the vehicles of the day.

There had just been a major world event (WW2) and people were more dependant upon each other and less selfish.

Perhaps today we suffer the curse of plenty, I really don't know the answer, I am just guessing like everyone else!

There was more self respect and respect for others in those times, maybe that is a contributing factor.
