Crappy ways to start the day

**jrandom** · 23rd April 2004, 08:44

(a) Waking up and realising that everyone else on two wheels in the North Island is going to be having fun at Puke today, and *you* have to go to work.

(b) The crunch-scrape-tinkle noises emphasising the point that you really, really should have remembered that thing about cold tyres and roundabouts in the morning.

Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.

So much for the MT75's

How are ya?

**duckman** · 23rd April 2004, 09:19

JR - whats the damage ??

Your not alone, I also have to work .... work sucks big dogs bollix!!

Thanks guys, I'm fine apart from a slightly tender leg that did the bike-road sandwich thing, the bike is just missing the usual right-hand mirror, exhaust can looking a bit sorry for itself, etc. Fishing trip to the wreckers at lunchtime methinks... working right by Barrys Pt Road has its benefits

I still have faith in the MT75s, it was my fault for going in too hot on them when they were still half-frozen from sitting outside all night.

I am SO buying a naked bike WITH crash bungs next time around.

**duckman** · 23rd April 2004, 09:29

Ahhhhhh well, Glad to hear your alright anyway.

**Wenier** · 23rd April 2004, 10:01

another crap one is moving down south on the day you could be at puke (f*&k) sorry to hear bout ya bin

jrandom i was in the same boat as you - i was so tempted this morning to call in sick and ride to auckland to go to puke after looking at the weather, but me the silly boy decided i better go to work, and get our new hardware firewall setup.

Glad to here you are and bike are okay tho

I feel like I'd rather be dead than at work today. Or maybe killing someone else would do....

Sorry about your wee incident. I know how you feel - I bought another toy in the weekend (Peugeot 205GTi) and yesterday some braindead eedjit in a Piece O Crap Toymotor ran into the back of me at the lights.

Luckily there was no apparent damage, unlike your spill, although thinking about it now, I wish I'd inflicted some on her 'car'.

No, I'm not a

psycopath. Usually. Just really grumpy today from not enough sleep this week...

Hey Matey,
Glad you are ok! What a stink way to start the day indeed! It can only get better b/c at least it's Friday!

Oh arrr. And I don't have to work this weekend.

Hell, I might just get out, practice my wheelies, and try to fall off on the right-hand side if they go pear-shaped...

**Indiana_Jones** · 23rd April 2004, 11:23

JR bummer, its a memory thing, you were so gutted about the track day that your remembery didn't remember to take it easy.

Firestormer - Get the car checked, they are designed to really crumple and look OK - I learnt off Top Gear the other week.

**750Y** · 23rd April 2004, 11:42

bad luck but glad your ok JR,
man I had the pleasure of seeing STEVEzx6r with the BRIGHT GREEN(truly) mohawk on the helmet and another rider with a red bike getting off at drury going to Puke, then I go past the autobahn & toot at all the bikes lines up there and halfway up the southern I flash and wave to a couple other sportsbikes who look like they're heading there also. so by the time i got to work I was real grumpy lol.
