Rode into hendo on me bike about 5.30ish. 5kms of open/shitty road, and rest town stuff.
Bang on wet gear :cold: , and ride up the road and turn right, the back skips half a foot, and its over before I can say fuck. This is the 2nd time its been wet, and I did it on the same spot :Oops:
Next, on Triangle Rd, coming down the "hill" a car indicates to right ready to cross path, she starts homming in on me, and I freeze and only get to move the bike to the left, while pushing everything with my left and trying to find a horn, the kid in the back seat points and yells "bike", the homicidal bitch stops, car half in my lane, I gather composure and find my hearts in my mouth and seats been sucked up via the sphincter.
One the way back, on the open road again, it feels a bit hairy so I make an effort to be on the gas, and not brake if anything would happen, sure enough, round one corner, back skips a full foot at least, and long enough for me to say FAAAARRRKK.
Now the Ixion part. A dam duck, which I reckon is Indi's pet duck, and has been forced to watch WAY too much Top Gun, decides to do a fly-by past my front wheel, just after another corner, I freeze again and just hear my wheel nick a wing.
Get home, unpluck the seat outa my ass, and jump in the cage to go into town, same spot as the duck, I slow down to see if I did it any damage. Next thing I see is a sparrow flying across the road turns around and aims at my windscreen, just nicked the sucker as well.
These are my assumptions for the crazy bird-life
1. They are Indi's pets and have been patrolling the area for a suitable fly-by target. Not finding one worth while, they pick me with the fear in my eyes
2. Someone, perhaps Ixion, left a half full can of V, and the birds got to it, this is what I reckon happened between them
Duck: check this out, I reckon I can scare that guy over there, and get reeal close to the wheel
Sparrow: pffft, is that all you can do? wait till the next one
5mins later....
Duck: Hey it's the same dude again
Sparrow: watch and learn
Strat: what the?!?
Sparrow: see that? see his facial?
Duck: man, did that hurt?
Sparrow: pffft, not even
3. They are Indi's pets and they have been drinking V while he's out.
whoa! she's one long post!
