Boys and girls - stop reading at this point if you've got no sense of humour about being monkeys.
Seriously - you've got a chance to ignore this post.
Okay then,
So, yesterday, a mate from work and I did the swap thing. JP rode my Gixerthou, and I rode... his wife's scooter.
200cc of fun, just lean back, rip the throttle, and hey presto - more mileage out of the front tire (and this is important given the sustainability issues our planet faces...). After doing the downtown GP loop, we swapped back.
Now JP is a responsible sort of guy, good at his job, professional. So it was a hoot watching him sit back, give it a bit of juice, and hey presto, more more mileage for the front tire.
The cops sitting in the car at the intersection we were approaching were much less impressed. Imagine the headlines: "rampaging scooter risks lives in downtown Auckland". They kind of waggled a finger, and because of the traffic behind them, had to keep moving.
So, recipe for a bit of fun:
Take one scooter, add a sense of humour and wide open streets with no real traffic - mix vigorously and lean back. JP, Scooter Wheelie God.
:banana:
I'm sitting back waiting for the negative replies, but like I told you, if you didn't have a sense of humour, you should've passed on reading this one.
