    Ah fu%k, what was that!

    Decided today to go down to the local training carpark and practice some emergency braking, slow speed u-turns and pillioning the boy on the back of my bike.
    That done, headed over to the Pahatanui inlet to practice corners, sliding half a butt cheek off the seat and keeping the weight off my hands etc. Having fun, pretending to be a good girl when seeing Mr. Plod etc.
    Heading home, come to the Newlands off ramp from Porirua side and decide to practice my cornering one last time on one of my favorite corners. Half way round I feel my foot being bashed about and the bike lurch slightly! "WTF!!!, Oh, I've just done my first peg scraping maneuver!!" Remembered to complete corner, merge with traffic, proceed to start cracking up and pull over to tell the other half what I just did! Got home and inspected the flat spot on my hero knob. Sweet!!! Bring on tomorrow!!
    (Gotta learn to go faster in order to be able to keep up when Mr Man gets his GSXR!)

    Yowzer, wicked!
    It's unexpected when it happens for the first time eh!
    I have done it exactly once.
    See you Sunday for the ride!

    Wasn't really an oops moment, more like a "Shit, did I just do what I think I did? That's so funny!", but definitely something that is now going to require some more practicing!

    WELL DONE ! I managed to get the pegs scraping on my rg150 twice. both times I was just out enjoying the ride. Whenever I tried to get it low and scrape I couldn't do it. So just go out and enjoy !

    Great feeling isn't it Mrs KD. It only took me one ride over the Takas on the 500 to do my first one. Never ever managed it on the CBX. First time always takes you by surprise.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker

    Ok! So you are allowed to make comments like that.
    It's not gentlemen like to look at the ladies butts in front of you. It tends to put you off. Ask Ronin what happens when you fixate on Str8s rear end....

    I am good at dodging.

    Just to be clear, the rumor does not involve the patter of little people feet, no way. It is the patter/rumble of a new arrival in the garage.
