    A really nice touch

    Who said all bikers were 'orrible....

    I've just got back from Botany Town Centre with the wee man after a bit of a scoff. On the way back to the cage (bleh) we spotted a rather nice looking Triumph Rocket III outside the Cock n Bull.

    My wee man was stoked with this, it really caught his eye and he could not tear himself away. Evenutally the owner and partner turned up and we had a little chat, they gave the wee man a wave and threw a few big revs into the bargain.

    Brilliant stuff. Mini Max is still beaming from that. These guys took the time to say gidday and give the mini man a boost, he loved it.

    Whoever you lovely people are, thanks for giving us a few ticks of your time, really appreciated.

    See, we are nice people really, even if local councils, community groups and the local Jenny Craig office dont like us.

    Awwww........

    If a policeperson saw the wheelie it would have been 'costly' as well as 'priceless'.

    I always give the wee people a wave if they're obviously excited by the bike. It's the mum's reaction that is interesting to watch when a biker waves to their little Johnny or Sally. Usually get a big smile so it's good PR for us I guess.

    My mini me pulls much better wheelies than I do! And gives me heart failure into the process. I remember when he was just a wee spec a guy on a Harley gave the boy a sit on his bike and he was amped for days.

    We are nice people, Its them that are wankers. F@ck em if they can't take a joke.

    Hey a great wee story, I'm sure it's true and that the guys stopping long enough to say hi and give the big revs enjoyed doing so as much as the wee fella loved them doing it.
    I also take time out to speak to and or entertain the kiddies and boy does mum beam when you make sure it's done right and the kids see it.Never let a chance go by.

    FM,

    You forgot to add to your list:
    Chinese people who shit in their own helmets.

    I've been a long kiss blower to hotties in cars, especially posh hotties. It makes their day, and invariably annoys their husbands.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
