Wafting

[Lou Girardin]

So what are they? Purely hooligan?

Oh Yeeessss.

I think you'll find the term is: 'wanking on my V-strom'

As opposed to "Tossing on my Triumph by an Onanistic Aussie Oik"?

>Onanistic Aussie Oik< You call this alliteration?!?!?

There is also a graduated hierarchy of riding speeds

Starting with the doddle (as employed when riding through sleepy country towns in the small hours, or past school children) , we progress through the pootle (aka waft) , to the tootle, thence upward to the blat, and the burn (getting quite high speed now). Culminating in the fang, which is efinately not a good idea if Mr Plod is around.

Ahh - my lexicon of biking terms grows ever more bountiful...

No more shall I wonder with respect to the nomenclature of speed; I imagine though, that there is a subjective element to this scheme:

"I was fanging along..."

"You were not! You were merely burning."

Etc.

I do actually.

Read it out loudly....

Looks like an alliterative-assonance combo to me...

'ere, watch it. Alliterative-arseonance combo, if you please. You'll have Mr Hitcher and his B-arsey thing down on you.

I was wafting on my V-Strom yesterday.

not to be rude here, but what else would one do on a v-storm except waft

You, me - gravel road.
I'll give you wafting, sport.

I agree with Biff " Wafting" as we did in a ride Saturday up North I saw more of the surroundings than ever before. However on the way back "Un Wafting" was a hell of a lot of fun.

The V Strom was doing 1 min 21 sec waft at the Puke Endurance race.

Ah yes - the old not completely off road abilities, and after being down at bethells beach at the weekend I know all about gravel roads. to be honest i thought it was the 650 version you was talking about.

That's OK - I'll downsize and use my KTM - it's only 625cc....
