I've noticed on hills there seems to be a slipping clacking sound, is this normal? I've fallen off a few times now, mainly just loss of control more than anything, ...
Living with a GSXR1000 (aka, the crack addiction) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It starts out innocently enough, you promise yourself that, today, for once, you're just going to take it a little easy. This is analagous to a crack addict promising just one small hit... Living with a fast bike (GSXR1000), and why you should buy (or not buy). I'm going to put aside all the macho stuff, the ...
Swingers in disguise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to renegade master adding his 2 cents, I thought I'd add this little opener - read this as a giggle not a cry., I’m having more of those moments. The ones where you get off the bike and think, “oh shit”. At what point do you hand the keys of your litre sports bike to someone better equipped to live with madness. Where is the line, and how ...
Setting China/NZ relations back a decade or two... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm no racist, but it seems to me that there are alot of people of Asian descent that want to kill me on my scoot.

I didn’t have an answer for them, aside from a brief explanation that they set a dumb precedent for newbies entering the site. While that’s kind of true, and since after attending a funeral today, I’m feeling in a contemplative mood; I thought ...
Wax lyrical and freedom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grey queues and anonymous boxes, the sound of Nina Simone drifting. Freedom curtailed and permissions revoked, gale force winds and rain and Versace suit mix like oil. Dark grey skies, God painted a monotone for the urban crawl, everything is dark, foreboding, depressed. "Birds flying high you know how I feel Sun in the sky ...
Road rage, retards, funny faces, and tinted windows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Leary, poet, humanitarian, and comedian once wrote a song called "I'm an Asshole" - there's this part that described me on the drive into work this morning: Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces, While handicapped people, Make handicapped faces I'm an asshole, (he's an asshole, what an asshole), ...
Stuck in Hell - ending it with a whimper... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’d suggest you read one or more of my Stuck in Hell posts – this will lack a little continuity otherwise… I blame Georgie. No, really, It’s your fault. I had a moment of epiphany – I was sitting in a meeting, listening to my manager’s droning voice explaining something dull and repetitive with all the glee of the ...
