Following in my good mate Jim2s footsteps I'll relay my thoughts of the day.
I've just started a new career of contracting my immensly valuable services to a company with the intention of selling their vast array of POS (that's Point Of Sale, not Piece Of S*#t) computers and software. Anyone who knows me understands that I actually know dick about computers, nor am I very nice. This has made my first few days of learning quite stressfull and acompanied with another disaster, fucken horrible.
This afternoon, I thought "Fuck this, I've earned a break!". So I took one.
Quick thrash in the *mighty* Escudo from Manukau to home, quick bite for lunch, onto the Gixxer and off to Pukekohe goes I. I've never seen a proper "drift" competition and thought I'd check out the practice day. All I can say it was fucken spectacular. (Not allowed to talk about cages on here, shhhh)
So I'm standing on the inside of Jenian Homes, watching some very talented cage drivers hurling some vehicles sideways at the same speed I'd head in there on a bike. Good stuff. Standing next to me, are three of the Australian lads that were invited for the competition, all marvelling at the Kiwis expertise and obviously wondering what the hell they'd got themselves in for.
After the cages, the bikes came out for a session and one of the loud mouthed pricks looking after these three young guys pipes up with "How fucken boring, why would anybody ride a bike!" Because I'm such a shy chap, I said nothing and kept to myself then wandered back to the pits behind these chaps. The three Auzy guys head to the pits, their mate goes over the "overhead" bridge and climbs in his not too shabby S15 Silvia cage and heads out towards the road. I follows, Gixxer mounted.
So I follow this peanut dicked womble in his flash cage all the way through Puke' and head towards Drury, all the time laughing to myself at what's about to happen.
Almost at Drury and opportunity knocks. We get to the passing lane doing about 90. Matey flicks the indicator, moves right and gives it some shoe, all in one well trained move. Gets past the slower vehicle quite quickly for a cage, all the time watching the bike headlight in his mirror. We're doing about 150 and climbing at this stage, he dives into the left lane about the same instant as I go from 5th to 3rd and pin it. Just in time in fact to see a shitty looking Gixxer 1K come wailing past on one wheel with the rider giving him a cheery wave.![]()
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE RIDE BIKES ARSEHOLE, THEY'RE SO FUCKEN BORING!
Wonder what Madboy would'a done?
