Following a lightweight

**slofox** · 17th December 2009, 11:32

Tucked in behind some dude on a lightweight bike this morning (dunno what it was, but small and nifty...). Followed him for a bit through a few corners and thence onto a straighter bit.

Bugger to keep up with through the corners. I thought the SV was reasonably nimble but this wee bike put it to shame (or maybe just me). All very well once on the straighter bits, but through the tight I had to work hard to stay with him...SV felt like a galumphing Great Dane chasing a Greyhound...

What kinda bike was it? Do you know?

in my experience, it's usually the case of the brains on the bike rather than the bike itself.

Probably Lance Armstrong out for a training ride.

It was a bicycle Slo.

There's a guy who rides around Glenfied on a 250cc Ninja. He seems to take every bend flat out with his knee down.

I don't try and keep up with him as it looks like such hard work. Plus I don't really like doing blind corners at such a speed.

So you mean you couldn't keep up with a cyclist that was COASTING

What you mistake for the zorst pipe was his enormous schlong being taped back so as not to get in his way. You were lucky he didn't need to go for a slash while you were behind him.
