    and

    Strong cross winds do it for me.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    16-17 year old girls on the bus in front of you flashing their perky tits. It's just so degrading that even at that age they think I'm just a sex object with something big throbbing between my legs.

    wearing boxers and going over a large pothole...lets just say I suddenly went forward on the seat and the seam cut something rather important to me...

    Your wallet?
    Your lunch?

    A box of donuts that were resting in your lap?

    i dunno what it was that jumped out infront of me, about twice the size of a pukeko.... dunno what the heck it was?

    anyways...

    tricky corner coming back up kaiaua road....coming from other way it the bridge at the end of the downhill that has a bump as you come off it...and is bumpy so uve gotta brake before it....anyways...came flying around the left then it's a relatively trickey right very shortly after...basically if you come flat tack round the left not remembering the right you are screwed...

    andways came round the left.....see a holden commodore coming over the bridge...which is after the right hander....

    inbetween left and right in opposite direction lane is this big bird thingy.

    of course mr commodore comes and the bird decides....hey i will hewad into the bikers lane.....a rather large swearve left ofllowed by oh shit too hot for right...bridge ensued....

    which then came ...countersteerrrrrr.....knee down peg down..rear drifiting...FOOK

    knee down onto a bumpy bridge = not ideal....

    don't ask me hoew i saved that, bloodey birds...

    had another time a few months back again on kaiaua road....

    came out of forestry bit somewhere...

    fly round left, full over knee down blah blah....shit que of cars....

    stonked hte anchors....stopped in time...slowly split to the front....

    like 300 sheep on the damn road....

    sitting there wathcing the farmer...he gives me a twisting a handgrip motion...well those who know my zxr know it is loud as hell...

    sooo rev rev rev....shit uve never seen 300 sheep run down a path and off the road so bloodey quick....

    farmer thanked me and on my way i went....

    i swear i ddnt know sheep could run that quick haha

    oh and biggest hates hmmm

    cops

    cages....

    idiots who try to knock u off in thier cages....

    cops in cages......

    court judges after cops in cages arrest you.

    asian drivers

    boy racer fags who always wanna drag race, so i oblige of course....

    people who sit up your ass...or when they are going slow on open road, since you have passed them they think it's a race and pass you back....

    speed cameras.

    n00bs

    getting beaten thru tight twisties by a sports tourer

    chasing big bikes through tight twisties where they are slow ....and then them leaving me for dead down straights....

    can keep up with spankme tho (when hes on his gixxer 750)



    slow old buggers like vegabond. on his cbr600 that makes it look like he isnt even trying and i'm wringing my 250 to keep up.




    boomer...n00bing it up


    being wheelied past or passed with the other rider silly close and not expecting it....and getting a massive fright.



    coming through a corner to find another rider running wide heading straight at you



    drifting through the corner just after mission bay heading towards st helliers at 70 kph in the pissing wet pointed at the cliff stupidly sideways....and the people walking on the footpath your about to hit if you don't save it stop and just stand there with a stoopid look on thier face.



    wearing out my tyres commuting so they are shit useless to throw the bike around easily.


    gravel that washes out your front and rear mid corner at 150.

    bikes that slip out of gear mid corner at 150 then since the powers not on start drifting...so u gotta put it in gear...so u click it up two more gears and ease the clutch out and get it wrong...then find yourself drifitng at an oysters sign at 150 then the bike trying to highside you.



    cold tyres.



    stopping



    bike not being able to corner fast enough because i'm full hanging off and it's peg down i'm knee down and it's laying on my leg and i still wanna lean more....



    hondas.

    sounds like a very tall story to me...infact...I reckon your making that up!!! aint no farmer gunna ask you to scare the shit out of his sheep bud...sheep are only really properly in control when walking in a group SLOWLY...the thing is...and you maybe able to relate to this your self...sheep doen't think very fast...or all to much really..so put them in a situation...where the world is moving faster,like running?? there decision making abilities arn't that great [see the corolation?]..and not predictable..so Mr Farmer would loose the ability to manover the sheep/stock...
