And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Kids are great like that.
When our eldest was very small, he stuck one of those strange little banana-shaped iceplant 'leaves' up his nose. He couldn't get it out, and got a bit distressed with us trying. So, we waited until he was asleep, then got some tweezers to try to extract it. Every time I nearly got a grip on it, it would tickle his nose, and he'd snort, so it would go back up. After a few minutes, it'd slide back down again and I'd have another go. Took a few attempts, but we were successful in the end. Some snot may have helped, but then on the other hand, may have made it too slippery to grapple with.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
Please help keep me in leather and on tarmac - it's good for my ego

OMG - thank goodness I'm not the only one who suffers from seezeathons! As for the snot sucking thing...as unattractive as it is it is rather difficult to pull out your hankie whilst splitting down the motorway in rush (should be called STOPPED) hour traffic.
mmmmm wait till you've had a kid then come talk to me. All I can say is that you become a huge fan of the pelvic floor muscle exercises as a matter of necessity and not just cos it's fun to have super dooper orgasms
if it was I wouldn't mind it so much. Not once have I felt like I've had an orgasm after one of my regular sneezeathons...not even close
OMG YES!!!! I thought I was just weird (well I know I am...but in relation to sneezing I mean)...praise the lord I am so happy to hear that it isn't just me Bloody dangerous - suffered quite bad this morning actually heading up the new Mark Ave extension. Sun glaring right in my eyes...not long awake (seems worse than ever when I am tired/not quite awake) and trying to go round the nice sweepy corners...nice new tarmack and then OH NO....a sneezeathon to the power of 10
WOW! I feel heaps better about this now even if it is bullshit I don't care...it's on the internet so it MUST be true...I am not alone with this affliction
Got a bloody bee in my bonnet that other week when I was in the Coromandel, struggled not to freak out haha and there wasn't really anywhere to pull over. I ended up flipping my visor up and just hoping that it wouldn't fling straight into my eye! Couldn't see it anymore so I just hoped it was gone and continued riding. Yesterday, 3 weeks later, I looked in my helmet and there it was dead somehow squished near the back of my neck
I never considered this danger before (not a biker), and it's scary to think of.
Sneezing is my interest. Actually, trying to establish a new way to respond to a sneeze - with a whistle. It's called a Gazoon High Twizzle, a mondegreen of "Gesundheit whistle." See it in animation at GazoonHighTwizzle.com.
Stay safe, Kiwi Bikers.
Embarrasingly I can relate. I have infact had a car accident whilst sneezing.. Most embarrasing thing I have ever done.
Picture an early saturday morning on a quiet cul-de-sac in urban Whangarei.
I am 6mths pregnant with the worlds largest baby and on my way to a garage sale. Driving our large 11 seater van I start to turn right round the first corner out of our street and feel a sneeze coming... Eyes close and I sneezed 3 times, I was not worried, it was a wide road and I knew it very well. Opened my eyes a nano second after I had finished to see a brand spanking new Nissan Primera parked on the side of the road and appox 3mtrs directly in front of my drivers seat. Tried to take evasive action and managed to do squat. Vans really are not great at evasive action.
Anyway rammed the car with the front left of the van and everything came to a sudden halt.
Poor bloody people. First thing they know about their car getting hit was hearing knocking on their door at 6.30am on a saturday morning and seeing a very pale, very scared looking pregnant women standing on their front porch having contractions and an asthma attack. They were very supportive if not a little incredulous when I told them I hit their (company) car because I sneezed.
Funny part was later in hospital after all had calmed down I was relating to the staff what had happened...sneeze etc. When my mobile rang. A nurse answered it for me and put it on speaker phone for me to hear.
"Hi its the manager of the Whangarei mental health facility here, (or whatever their name was) just wanting to check you are ok. We were quite worried about you."
Turns out they were the company the car belonged to.
All my friends and the staff got a real kick out of that and I got hassled about it for months.
I wouldn’t be broke if the voices in my head paid rent
Ha ha ha this is great! Keith (and all those Mandy Greens) good luck with your project and thanks for visiting us here at Kiwi Biker! You're doing a great promotional job alright.
You should really talk to Mr Hitcher on this site. He keeps us all amused with mondegreens and is the reason a surprising number of Kiwi Bikers know what they are.
There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
