    Making kids grin

    Well tonight I had the use of a mates k4 thou, well actually Rashika did as I was on her bike and my mate didnt offer me his bike
    So between you lot and me (dont want the k4 owner to see this) we decided we would take a quick spin out to a sweet wee rd so as Rashika could get the feel of a big bore Jappa.

    Well I was leading on the Buell and we were about half way through our ride and I saw a bunch a young fellas and a couple of Dads on the side of the rd with 6 odd bikes real old yamaha's (100cc with chrome tanks) and a couple a Vespa type shitters and a small trail bike..... hey it was obviously there 1st bikes and the Dads were doing a little high spec tuning and keeping an eye on them, good on 'em!

    Further up the rd I pulled over and Rashika rocked up and wanted to ride the K4 back.... so still no ride for me.
    Now I was out front and was coming up on the young ones, I slowed down as they were all over the place but soon stood still till I pased, and me being the dumbarse that I am and having a name to live up to wacked the tap open and wheelied past.... carried on and pulled over at the end of the rd to wait for Rashika... again

    Rashika asked me why the kids were doing the standing up and pretending to pull a whellie in the air type thing.... I said buggered if I know
    Now she wanted to head back again but on her bike as it was such a sweet evening, hey suited me as I wanted a play on the Gixer.
    With me leading again I soon came up on the kids and their Dads they were standing there mouths wide open and grinning from ear to ear... well fuk it what the hell popped it up and wheelied past, sat it down as they were on a S bend and then popped it up again and disappeared into the sunset

    well did a U'ie up the rd waited for you know who ... again and then headed back for home.
    Came up on the corner were the kids were but they had gone, must be getting towards there bed time.... but then around the next corner I saw the tail ends of their bikes, they were heads down bums up weaving around having a great time racing each other at about 50kph.
    Well as I snuck up on them I figgered.... might as well be a complete dick head and stoked the K4 up in 2nd and passed the lot of them on one wheel and continued down the rest of the road in the same manner
    Guess what.... yeah I had to wait up the rd for the Buell again and as I was the bikie boys came around the corner pouring two stroke smoke all over the place with there 30yr old open face lids on.... they were still grinning from ear to ear including the Dads... I got the thumbs up big cheers and lots of claps (careful lads two hands on the bars )
    Well this kid was grinning like a cheshire cat too...... ahhh fuk that was fun stupid dumb and 'dangerous'.... but fun, reckon I made their day

    Wonder how many of them will be doing the same in 20yrs and remembering the twit on the vintage 2004 Suzuki...... all them years ago.
    cheers DD

    nah, actually what they were saying was for ME to do it...but I'm just too damn sensible to do that.... and besides I wouldnt know where to start, or stop for that matter....did I mention that I am chicken too?

    OFCOURSE YOU FKING DID... cos you always gotta be in front

    Actually it was nice trying out a couple of new bikes:
    the guzzi rides quite well, smooth altho very quiet gear changes, and similar riding position to the Buell but I had trouble hearing the engine
    and the GXRthou was an experience, a nice one too I might add. Very light and nimble, was shame I couldn't see the road cos of the setting sun and bloody kids all over it :spudwave: but I did get a wee speed on. With a bit of confidence on it, it'd be LOADS of fun. Probably too much, too quickly and my licence would be gone, so beta just stick to the Buell....not that I thiink I'd have any trouble losing my licence on that one either!
    All in all a fun night out, must do it again.

    Good on ya mate. Shit reading the title I got a bit scared
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    ha! yeah I think a few people thought that too.
    Actually it was a really nice evening and good chance for me to try a couple of different bikes, really appreciated guys!
    And it was funny to watch the kids and their dads grinning with delight, seeing other people out on their bikes as well.

    Yeah I'd say...I've had dickheads shake their fists at me for spinning up 17,000rpm on my old 250 exiting a corner in an industrial area (barely 70km/h if I recall). Wheelies, done well, deserve appreciation from young and old
