Don't we do some Muppet things...

[T.W.R]

Don't we do some Muppet things whilst on tour as bikers generally to entertain strangers
I've done it myself and have seen heaps, but today I saw 2 honourable mentions, all heading home from the Burt Munroe

The 1st one was about 3.30ish, A bloke on a red firestorm came into sight with what looked like a bloody long black streamer flying behind him next thing a sleeping bag come bouncing along & stops in the middle of the road (SH1). The rider has spotted this and slammed on the anchors, stops & runs back picks up the bag and heads back to the bike.
As he's walking back to the bike & checking damage he sees how many people have seen this unfold, he sits the bag back into place & hurriedly straps everything back down and hops back on the bike. Bangs the VTR into gear and proceeds to give it a handful, the bike lunged forward with the front at almost pointing at 2pm slams it down and must have been hitting 200 before he got on to the bridge My boss saw this unfold and all he said was "WTF was that all about?" . It looked damn funny from where I was standing, but:
Mate who ever you were; loosing 3mins ain't going to kill ya, but trying to catch them up might

The 2nd was a silver Bandit :slap: the rider was the last in a group of 10 bikes, he/she was fully loaded up with gear rolling & swerving gently down the road at about 50km/h putting gloves on . The rider hadn't spotted the courier truck bearing down on them from behind, but when they did they gave the bike a handful the damn thing almost twists itself in two, grabs & rockets off in to the distance
I bet whoever it was wont try that trick again

What sort of wee brain farts do we go through when these things happen ??

Yes I've been known to have the odd slip up now and then..... Most recently this weekend No damage done tho.

Last week bloke on a bike pulls up next to me and does a 'stoppie' I believe it's called. Does this improve karma ? A wheelie would look good although I'd never have the balls to try, but this just looked out of control. Him and his mate then took off like shit off a shovel. ah, they'll grow up.... I hope

[Atlas shrugged]

Not that I would try but just wondering which takes the most skill or stupidity depending how you view it, a 'stoppie' or a ‘wheelie’?

Yep sure do. And don't some wankers do things that tar all of us with the same brush.
EXAMPLE.
Went to visit my Mum in the hospital at Levin last monday.
I came out of the main front doors and crossed the driveway to the parking area. parked right on the pedestrian/wheelchair access was a Ducrappy bike in silver with a camo looking paint job. What a fuckwitt. I looked up and down the carpark and the would have been 30 empty parks and this nob had to park his piece of shit in the walk way.
Was he /she in a hurry to get indoors?. Were they trying to be noticed? were they just plain fucking ignorant? the latter me thinks.
Made me somewhat embarrassed to be a rider.
Thankyou fuckwitt next time don't be an ignorant fuck and park you bike in a car park your allowed to you know.
