The Thrill and the Joy

[Edbear]

Damn but it's Friday, wet and wet forecast for the weekend - that just makes me want to get out on the road right now.

Wasn't too bad this morning on the commute in. Maybe we'll get a break in the weather.

Good write-up Martybabe, you're a poet are you not?

Beautiful! Almost had me weeping into my coffee. Bring on those warm spring days!

I was on the road back from Hamilton one day, in drizzly weather. It had been a long day, I was a bit cold and I have to admit some of the fun had gone out of the ride.

Way up ahead I saw a VStrom come out of a side road, 2-up, loads of luggage. So I decided to catch up and keep them company. I lay down on the tank and rode the Volty flat out! By the time I finally caught up with them (several km further on - flat out on a Volty is not particularly fast) I was in the mood, so I stayed tucked in and overtook them, laughing like a lunatic.

I'm sure they had no idea what this silly little underpowered bike was doing, chasing them up the motorway. But it was nice to have their company for the rest of the ride into Auckland.

What's that Officer? was I bad, probably. (I may even have broken the speed limit for a brief moment) Would I do it again? in a heart beat, Did it feel good? you fuggin betcha!

That was luvly, that was, martybabe keep it up!

Well played sir, well played

Thanks Boob, I know it still lights your fire.

'Tis a tale told straight from the heart,
Of riders new, old and long departed
The vicarious thrills of the prose
is only something a biker knows,
With wisdom in its stride
It's all about the ride,
Thank you muchly martybabe
For that beguiling regaling tale!

Your wordsmithery puts mine to shame old friend, except I'm guessing you've never used the word 'wordsmitherey' eh. Used first by John the butcher in Stratford England, he reportedly said, to William Shakespeare, "what's with all the wordsmithery Bill, I can't 'ardly understand any fookin thing you're saying in them stories what you write"

What an awesome read Mr Martybabe! Gave me the goosebumps and a smile on my dial!!

Sorry about the goose bumps but I love smiles on dials.

Patience grasshopper, I predict 8 months of summer coming our way, plenty of time for fun and frolics.

Jeez I wish there was more riders around with your tude there MB.
My take is "I've met many a wanker on a harley and many good guys on hondas".

I just meet good guys and girls enjoying themselves, lucky I guess.

I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am by that little tale, enjoyment and intelligence shout loud from that little ditty. I'm quite humbled actually, let me have a dig round in my bling bag, see if I've got any left. x

That was luvly, that was, martybabe keep it up!

Thanks Sondela,'twas a bit of a slow burner as threads go but I knew some of you could ride with me.

Thank you all, It's very much appreciated.

Nice BD, I do enjoy DB. Two things,

1. stop inspiring me to write stuff
2. Maybe we should have a Bowie thread?

Cheers big guy.

Martybabe, two things.....
1. Stop being a silly bugger. When you write that well you need to share so people less fortunate can be inspired.
2. Bowie ANYTHING is a good idea *swoon*

A thread of greatness indeed


This thread is now dedicated to the great David Bowie
