hmm well as the name implies Dangerous REALLY does live up to his name.
Okay set the scene....
Have to pick up a new bike (oooo ahhhh oooo) and it is wet, not heavy wet but shitty, drizzelly, cant see for 20 metres kinda crap.
So options: can take van and literally pick up bike and cart back to christchurch from Fairlie (couple hours away)....boring!
Can take truck and one of us rides back the bike....boring!
Can take Firestorm 2up, then ride both bikes back, along with a mate on her 1200 Bandit who's keen....like that option!
So FINALLY convince Dangerous that the last option is really the only one, especially as both the females riders were keen....he didn't wanna appear like a REAL Woos, so allows himself to be convinced![]()
So met up at Rolleston servo, met up with Jimmie who was keen to say hello (nice to met you too Jimmie) and then headed off.
About NOW is when the real meaning of Dangerous comes in...
Dangerous is...
....Doing wheelies 2up at EVERY intersection between Chch and Fairlie, especially in the rain
...gettin knee done at certain spots??!@!!!!@#$$^![]()
....and those clutchless gear changes were damn interesting
...not to mention trying to kill those Magpies at >100km is just a little scary![]()
...and I find BOTH hands on the bars works really well into the corners!
after that shattering experience....we all made it down there safely, picked up my new baby and toddled back home, managing to be caught on video along the way apparently...luckily NOT cop video, just Dangerous's
...very odd to see ones self riding![]()
but I guess the pink shirt kinda gave away that it was a female, and kinda funny how I can see the huge grin on my face as well after i figured out what he was doing on the side of the road![]()
great day...given the crap weather and the horrendous winds coming back...always a good day with a new toy tho!
