Cattle truck adds more bite to the Takas

[MD]

Was a nice looking bike mate. Parked it into the scenery at the bottom of the hill. Probably due to aforementioned effluent deposit on the road.

Unfortunately he's not taking the piss. If there wasn't shit on the road before Jimbo punched a hole through a perfectly fine fence there almost was afterwards.
One sec he's barrowing along trying to keep my front wheel from mating with his rear wheel, we're both getting that adrenaline rush, as you do at the bottom of the hill about to head up (my favourite bit too). Next thing I'm watching Jimbo and one very tidy new bike doing the head over heels tango. Practicing for dancing with stars maybe?
I gave it my best shot to run him over but missed. He's a slippery target when he's sliding on his arse. But seriously it's a gut wrenching moment seeing someone go down in front of you. Bike and rider uprooted a 6" round fence post! Left it dangling in the air attached by 1/8 wires. Colin Meads will have to replant it.
So up he gets, leathers falling to pieces and we drag said bike back out to check out the new streetfighter look. I think it was all a plan to avoid buying the group a round at the Rimutaka pub. We had one for you anyway Jimbo and put it on your bill.
To anyone out there I say ditch those bloody Bridgestones before they ditch you. I have to blame the tyres before he figures out I gave him a nudge.

That stretch of road is my G-Spot.

Condolances to Jimbo, that bike was beautiful (for a Suzuki).

You musta had better lines than me then James. I had a wee slide at the bottom on the way back and then just chickened out and dropped the pace down to sensibly fast.

MD, no need to worry mate, the HP were back toward Caltex.

FUCK OFF, You aspire to get in the realm of FAST!!!!
Sensible or not!



Those of us who know you, have a tendancy to call you "can drive, can't ride).



Just so you know, you're still a tosser.

I’m not sure what the story is in the north island but what I have noticed in some cases down here in the south [Dunedin to oamaru anyway] is the effluent stops are built after the weigh bridges. The truck and trailers could be carrying possibly a couple of tonne or more of shit which in some cases would put them over weight. To get around this problem they just leave the shit bungs open. In some cases of course it is probably just laziness on the part of the driver.

You're taking the piss I hope? If not then commiserations.

Nope, binned it for real.

[James Deuce]

See above. Sorry mate.

When I get the bike back on the road the beers are on me. If I replaced all the plastic myself it would only cost around $1000, so not too bad all up. Seems Suzuki plastic is pretty cheap.

And don't go thinking I'll be slow building my confidence back up either you lot, that hill is still MY hill!!

I think you're onto something there As with any job, you will get the lazy bastards who couldn't give a shit, and the rest. With modern stock trucks and more effluent stops there is no reason for them to be spilling shit all over the roads but the older stock crates do tend to be messy. Last week on my afternoon school run we were stopped at Malfroy rd lights which has a shopping center in spitting distance. There's only a footpath between the cattle trucks and the door of the chinese take away. A cow then opened up & pissed & shit all over the gutter and I swear it splashed all over the chinese shop & the hairdresser's windows.
There's only one thing worse than getting stuck behind a shitty stocktruck in the rain.....binning on your fav twisties because of shit on the road. Bummer for you jimbo600. Glad you're ok, hope others take heed & ride carefully.

Well mate if you want to be the king of the hill every now and then you have to pay the rent.

Having made the, "you ok?" call, it is now time to say.....

you fuckin twat!

You should try owning one of your gixxers long enough to get the hang of it, before getting the next model.HEHEHEHEHEHEHE



Great that you're ok, should have mine sorted and some practice in before you get yours back, and you'll have to try even harder to be king of the hill.

I wear the term twat as a badge of honour..........maybe that's the problem.

Dude keep the back thing to yourself, there's young nubile girlies on this website that think I'm a young buck with Val Kilmer looks and Ron Jeremy stamina.

Had a good look at the bike and I reckon most of it will T-cut out. Be good as new.

The content of the shit tanks wouldn't make the truck go over weight, as the shit would weigh pretty much the the same whether it is inside or outside the animal.
Livestock get lighter... shit tanks get heavier...
If the truck is over weight with full shit tanks then it must have also been over weight when it was loaded.
Any way, that is no excuse.
