    dont get me started on dogs , after all the close shaves ive had by dogs jumping infront at hight speed and others trying to rip my leg off at low speed (have to give them a hard kick in the face) ild rather never see another one while im on a bike... ever
    Well what would you do? Run through the streets stark naked at 350 miles per hour with bells on your toes?

    Kids are great like that, Wife and I normally ask / will let the kids sit on the bikes (subject to parental approval of course) , we try and encourage the next generation of motorcyclists.
    We also ask the kids who has the best bike because it's a chance to poke a bit of shite at each others bikes. Kids can be funny in this regard too, sometimes they'd look at the wife’s GSX600f and my duc and ask , why is your wife’s bike bigger than yours and the boys would think that’s real funny.
    The other kid way of comparing bikes is by looking at the speedo's ....Wow that bike goes up to 300 kmh .... cool (yeah right in my case)
    It's not a beer pot .... It's a fuel tank for a sex machine

    Was driving down Queen Street yesterday afternoon around 5 ish, while I was waiting at the intersection of Queen & Mayoral Drive, I watched a guy cross the road & continue walking down queen street, he was wearing all the retro & coolest things he could find to complete his attire.... including a race formed leather bike jacket, bent armored elbows, high waist line, hunched back.... one of the stupidest things I've seen. But the main thing... he thought he looked cool, man could he strut "And there is no way he was a biker"

    Get the best reactions riding on the Motorway, slowly cruisin past cars with kids in. Gives them time to make eye contact, (little difficult for me with the helmet on at times), but they love bein able to stare at you and watch the bike. Then I gas it and let them hear the exhaust blat! If I slow down again for traffic and they cach up, they grinnin from ear to ear!

    Thumbs up

    I went to a job interview at a local primary school out my way.
    All was done and went to leave and found a good 50 odd kids waiting for me! Buzzed? For sure I,I mean they were!
    They really got a kick out of it and freaked when I started up the ol' Yoshi powered TL and gave it a rev...yep,I'm a kid too
    The teachers were so-so but could see the delight on the kids faces
    As it has been said before...these are the next generation of bike riders and they deserve the smiles we as a group can share with them
