    Sidewinder Bins GSXR!

    sidewinder, pathos and myself were riding today, sidewinder was on his GSXR600k5, pathos was on his CBR600f2, and i was on the DRZ400sm.
    sidewinder did a few 200kph runs on the gixer, i did a few long wheelies on the DRZ, all good.
    i had fun on the gravel stretch that runs parallel to SH1b into cambridge, managing to go faster than the cars on the road in the rain!
    leaving cambridge, we were riding up a tight road that was very slippery, dude to debris and moss and water.
    i led on the DRZ followed by pathos, and sidewinder took it up the rear on the GaySeXeR.
    we reached the part where it turns to gravel and proceeded to ride down slowly, but still no sidewinder!
    i spun the DRZ around and headed down to see the GSXR in the ditch, lying 180 degrees from the intended direction of travel.
    the GSXR was pulled out, the crash knobs took most of it!
    the headlight does not go for some reason, sidewinder is fine, the rear let go out of the corner, he fishtailed it, but it flicked him off and he proceeded to slide into the grass.
    some cosmetic damage to the GSXR, nothing too serious, and we were away, at it again, well i was anyway, wheelies all the way home!

    we should have been at church!

    Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath

    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.

    The light aint working because probably the cutout circuit in the right hand grip assembly has become unsoldered. Happened to my K5 gsxr as I was in the twisties riding in the dark.

    This should be entertaining.


    Shall we have a poll to how much truth there is in the story?

    A weekend full of surprises it would appear...
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
