The Real Hard-Arse Bikers

**Horse** · 30th July 2008, 13:49

It's pretty wet and windy down Palmy way today. But driving around for work I saw some true hardcore bikers out riding no matter the weather. Both within about 5 minutes of each other, and from their gear obviously from the same "gang".

Very distinctive, white open face helmets, bright red jackets & pants, and a bright red bike... smaller than you might expect.

Same conditions up here, same gang up here. I see every morning on my ride to work

I have a work vehicle which my boss makes me take home at night, so I can't ride to work even if I wanted to.

He's a right bastard!

Posties rock. When I was in Aus, got chatting to some fellas on their CT110s (I'm interested in the bike because of its close relationship with the C50 Cub). If I ever drop out of uni and fail miserably at everything else, I might like to become an Australian postie on a CT110

Oh THAT gang? I wanna get hold of a few of their members... they keep putting threatening notes in my mailbox - 'demanding payment of this' and ' final notice for that'... GRRRRRRR

No you don't. You preload the clutch by lightly depressing the gear shift. Rev it up an engage said clutch. They can wheelie for quite a way before I lost concentration and crashed into the hedge/fence/cat.........
Looks way cooler sitting on the seat, than waving ya arse in the ear for all the homo's to admire......wait, thats why you did it that way wasn'tit?????
