So, beautiful day yesterday, thought I would take the Street Triple out for a pootle to devauchelle or Merivale-by-the-sea. Not going hard because I dont go hard on the road anymore. What the hell was with the group of cruiser riders riding along at 90kph being held up by a Daihatsu Mira or some shittly little pissbox car? On a straight piece of road? What is the point of two litres of capacity and a thousand pounds foot of torque if you arent going to fucking pass these pieces of shit? Yes, that was me that passed you, and no, I dont care. Even with all the tassels and chrome geegaws you still have enough torque to pass gran in her shopping car - why the hell not use it?

Oh, and other grandma in some shitbox just before Little River: 70kph on the open road is not fucking acceptable. Stay home bitch!

apart from that, a nice hour or so out and about.

Needed some helmet therapy yesterday afternoon, shot out to Akaroa and back on my much abused Busa, noticed more cruiser types than usual, think it might get worse as it is the fasted growing ride type in NZ, and because few of them are acually motorcyclists as we would understand it, the riding behaviour is only ever going to be "campervanesque"

So, it will be evermore them or the other extreme, the Akaroa GP rider on his R1/CBR/1000 whatever with no understanding of time/space/speed/distance, neither are fun, at least the cruiser mob don't relentlessly risk everone else with their lack of ability or braincells.

I prefer the track to the road, cause you just can't scratch that itch in the real world..........

After I read the morning papers I thought; 'Might as well log on to the forums and see what people are complaining about today'.

'We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...'

Ahhhh but one day BD you'll start to forget where you were up to, which will only make it more confusing for them.
Where was I?
