I was on the way to work this morning, and splitting before the Hubba Bridge when I caught up with three bikes ahead. The guy in the front (riding a green Trumpy naked) was riding slow and steady, and taking a cautious approach.

Being a type A personality armed with a litre of Suzuki mayhem, and being a few minutes late, I ended up jumping to the inside Cannonball lane going around the outside of a cage. Trump started to drift across - and saw me, did a double take, and waved me through - but he did it with withering look that said "tool!".

I hung my head in shame before leaving them all behind.

I was a tool, and I'm sorry. :crybaby:

I've walked a little old lady across the street, I was nice to a dumb person, and I have been thinking good clean thoughts for as much of the day as I could. :innocent:

Burn him! Pillory him! Tar and feather him! Run him out of town on the cow he rode in on! Subscribe him to Helen Clark's manifesto! Put ants in his tea and rancid butter on his toast! :oi-grr:

To be a tool, is to be a motorcyclist. Comes with the territory. In concentrated form in Welly we call this the TRTNR.

Subscribe me to Helen's manifesto??????

I made an error of judgement, I didn't commit genocide - how could you think that I deserved that as a punishment????? That Bloke Helen is out of the fascist dictatorship business at the end of the year (if there is a god??!)

If he was riding a Triumph naked that would explain the withering look. It was a bit chilly this morning.:devil2:

I had to take a second look - it was actually moving under its own power, and not being pushed so I had to check again to confirm it was a Triumph...:Punk:

Well, you were a tool for riding a Suzuki anyway, so it's not made any difference...

But by the sound of it, the Trumpet was going to do the same thing... Just as well he's on a Triumph, sounds like he didn't read the situation correctly from the start... Don't want those types on Jappas.... May give us a bad name...

Congrats for being a tool on ya Gixer! Ive upset many a triumph rider and ridden off into the blue yonder so I guess I got TOOL written all over me too lol :devil2:

KatMan! Yeah, I was doing so well <sigh>. Can I still throw stones at SkidMark?? I thought you'd be proud of me for saying sorry though...

I was reflecting on something in the car, and instead of writing sarcastic banter and quick witted reparte - I thought I'd point out that you, KatMan, have a useful function within this living, breathing community.

Someone has to be the reality check in amongst us. You and skidmark are polar opposites, one is the good angel that talks reason (although sometimes not reasonably), the other is the bad influence who makes us all thankful we're not that young and stupid.

We sit on a continuum between the two. Except Hitcher who sits above us correcting our grammar. :)

So, you, KatMan have a somewhat respected place. No dig intended.

I like the 675 and the n a k e d version. That's exactly two more models than I like within the Harley catalogue...

In case you're a bit slow - I'm just stirring.

I think Hinkley has had a resurgance of late.

I'm sure a number of people on this site are now convinced you have a severely debilitating drug problem.:msn-wink:

Maybe my issue is the lack of a severely debilitating drug problem - I can't afford to do drugs, pay Helen Tax, AND keep scoot in tires... Not to mention the friendship money I need to pay people like Georgie to hang out with me.

Drugs would help with all that wouldn't they????

Fuck what anyone else thinks, I see the logic in your message, even though I may not like the message sometimes.

Sorry that was a cut too quick and nip too deep, I retract that erroneous statement and will instead palaver it into

Similar thing happened to me. Noticed a cop rushing to do their seatbelt whilst looking at me as I went past so though "hoo boy, best speed up a bit and and get to a backroad". So I did, screamed down it to get as much distance as I could whilst looking in my mirror. Took notice of the end of the road a bit later than I should, brake hard for the intersection, back locks up so I end up doing a speedway style slide, let go of the brake and drift for a second before blasting off again. Look in my mirror and see a bike stopped at the intersection. They did a double take too, wondering why the hell a VFR came out of nowhere drifting at a million miles an hour. Luckily he wasn't crossing my path of I'd have been rubbing shoulders with them pretty hard.

Think it was the hot biker chick at Weltec too, couldn't really tell in my mirror.

Just proves that even a hot biker chick can't compete for attention when ya wheels are doing their own thing! Good on you for not being able to tell, but :spanking: for still looking in your mirror in the attempt! :msn-wink:

I was looking in my mirror to see if the cop was after me or not, the possible hot chick was a bonus. Then again it could be a balding middle age man :laugh:

I try not to look at ladies on the sidewalk. You miss crossings and cars cutting in that way.
