Tall Tales from Today on Hwy22

[Keystone19]

Her voluptuous curves, her smooth lines. How the sun shimmers through the trees and reflects on her golden fields…

By the way Farmer Brown, could you please not drop those mud dags all over the road, they’re really slippery when it’s wet…

The peaceful vista, the quiet murmur of the brook, the gentle hills receding into the distance…

Excuse me, Mr Transit, it would be really nice if you could let me know about those gravel bits before I get to them, please…

The flitter of birds in the trees, the quiet conversation of cows, the gobble of turkeys preparing for my Christmas dinner…

Umm, Farmer Brown, that cow that was barrelling down the middle of the road at me this morning, could you possibly keep her tied up until I’ve gone past…

Umm, no officer, I’m covered in mud not because I’ve been off-roading on my VTR, I’ve been riding Hwy22…

[placidfemme]

I'm pretty damn sure that Firefight waxes lyrical in a similar manner when he's riding 22. :devil2:

What the ................ :oi-grr:

Next you'll be lining the road with teddy bears or something...... :nono:

We prefer a dangerous road, with fierce decreasing radius corners, random obstacles ready to torture those who dare lose concentration, blind corners, wet slippery shaded areas, massive pits caused by washouts, taunting corner speed signs…:headbang:.………………….. not the bloody bubbling brook and the cute little sparrows and that other girlie stuff……:weird:

[Motu]

Fit the bike to the road,not the road to the bike....much cheaper....and more fun.

I'm glad you got through it in one piece. Now you can tell everyone that you have conquered SH22, and in the wet and over all those obstacles too! :Punk:

You'll soon be passing my mileage record if you keep that up! :msn-wink:

[Zed]

....not the bloody bubbling brook and the cute little sparrows and that other girlie stuff...Hey buddy, if you can't appreciate that beautiful, natural, girlie scenery while riding the 22 then you're missing out BIG time! :sleep:<O:p</O:p

Sorry JSG... u are too manly for me. perhaps thats why your lines are so jaggered and not smooth with curves? :whistle:

[justsomeguy]

Sorry JSG... u are too manly for me. perhaps thats why your lines are so jaggered and not smooth with curves? :whistle:

You got it.... but I'm working on it so soon my lines will be all muscular instead of skinny and sharp......

[justsomeguy]

Hey buddy, if you can't appreciate that beautiful, natural, girlie scenery while riding the 22 then you're missing out BIG time! :sleep:<O:p</O:p

I do appreciate the scenery, I've ridden there a few times in such horrible rain that I had no choice but to slow down and appreciate the REALLY beautiful scenery.....

But chasing apexes is a much a higher priority for me.....

[Zapf]

You got it.... but I'm working on it so soon my lines will be all muscular instead of skinny and sharp......

I think finesse would be a better goal.... don't want to think about you being muscular with a bigger ride between ur legs :P

Grabs me the same way. Why ride a bike if you can't appreciate such things.

[justsomeguy]

I'm now nearly 9 kilos lighter since I've not being going to the gym this year (need to get my shit sorted).....

Yes big fella finesse is more important...... working on it, working on it.....as soon as I find a job I'll be able to fund my $150 a weekend petrol addiction....

PS: What's the bit bout borrowing someone's lighter??

[justsomeguy]

ahhh.... you are thinking like an old and wise person......

You need to think like a young and very stupid person ...... come on I know you must have been one once.

[Zapf]

MUM! but I see a nice flower on the side of 22!

re... lighter... I lost my flame... but am finding it now again thanks.

JSG, a real rider does both - get the good lines and admire the scenery... :devil2:

[Zapf]

ermm... quote "you go where you look" comes to mind... :ride:

Yeah, well it's kind of a visceral thing ya know.

[Keystone19]

Shhh, don't tell anyone... :devil2:

[justsomeguy]

Yeah, well it's kind of a visceral thing ya know.

Exactly.

It's not in my visceral nature to admire the scenery, maybe sometimes, not habitually. Since I was born and brought up in places world famous for their natural scenic attributes, I find following vanishing points more attractive.

And that's the real reason I ride......

She's new to motorcycling but not two wheels.... and as a result has some rather well developed riding qualities :niceone:

[Zed]

[justsomeguy]

I know these things...don't forget that you're a noob too boy! :whistle:

Course I am..... it's a great excuse to blame all my stupid riding on:whistle:

[oldfart]

Excuse me, Mr Transit, it would be really nice if you could let me know about those gravel bits before I get to them, please…

On farken no!!!! You'll set off Motu & I'm sure Xion won't be far behind. We're all doomed. :whistle:

[myvice]

It’s the right hander after the 2nd stretch of gravel heading to Raglan that ALWAYS gets me!
Down hill decreasing radius blind corner with a madman on a KTM Duke 1/2 way up my ass does little for me!
not nice picking on little bikes, mutter mutter sulk
Nice pub tho, good coffee!

[Waylander]

Exactly.

Now why did you have to go and bring harleys into this... lol

Ya know I think along the same lines as you mate, Bit more of a mix though.

What's the world look like beyond the horizon.

[justsomeguy]

Was a joke mate and yes that was the reference...



Oh, ok I'm curious - what's the joke??

[Waylander]

Oh, ok I'm curious - what's the joke??
Lol nevermind, it's dead beyond being funny. Maybe I'm losing my touch...

Time to stop going off topic now.

[justsomeguy]

You mean that time when I followed your SV into a corner while trying to overtake that cage and ended up parked on the curb on the opposite side of the road??........:stupid:

Hehehehe....... those were the days...... oh wait:nono: ....... that was 4 months ago.....:Oops:

[DEATH_INC.]
