Ever had anything funny happen to you?

Not some other bugger,,that doesn't count.
So I'm crackin' the ton down this hill "that's 100 mph to most of you lot"
An Mr plod steps out from where his shitty 750/4 honda is hidden in plain view,an gives me a wave,,sort of.
I take note of the fact I'm doing the ton an he's standing still beside some jappa that probably needs to be parked in the shade so it don't melt in the sun,so I wave back "sort of"

an keep going.
See in the mirror he hasn't even bothered jumping on his bike,,,,the power of the mighty Triumph twin was obviously very apparent.

So,half an hour later I'm cruising up the coast when bike gives a slight hiccup and promptly ceases to proceed.
A quick look about and I see the slide guide pin is sticking out the side of the left hand carb,,and thus not guiding the slide no more.
Unscrew the carb top,realign the slide an tap pin back into place,a quick wrap with lecky tape and stand back to admire my work as the bike sits idling like the good thing she is.
Then I hear a sound in the distance,,,kind of sounds like,,,a Ferkin' onda,,ferkin' 750/4.
You should of seen the grin on the baskets face as he came to a halt an slowly took of his helmet.

An that is the one and only speeding ticket I've ever gotten while riding a motorcycle.
He only did me for exceeding the speed limit, because the look on my face was worth gold by it's self,,,so he reckoned.

He's probably still using a Sinclair ZX81

So what's the lesson. Old British reliability just the ticket for the ticket?

So there I was, roaring (and I really mean that, a VF750 with straight three inch pipes is quite loud), around the basin reserve on a lovely afternoon. I may have been traveling over the speed limit by a bit.

I hear behind me the familiar yet unwelcome sound of Mr plod. I take the very next turn, and then another and pull over between a couple cars.

He's seen this and comes to a tyre smoking stop boxing me in, I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say he slid across the bonet to come face to face with me. This guy was fucked off! I mean fucked off epic! I started to wonder if I hadn't run over his kids puppy or something, he was red in the face and already spitting...before he fuckin talked!

To set the mood, you should know that I am shitting myself! I thought he was going to beat the fuck out of me!

He starts in, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING"?..."120 KPH'! No time for me to speak, he's in tirade mode before he thumps me.

"THERE IS A NAME FOR MORONS LIKE YOU"! "TEMPORARY NEW ZEALANDER"! "THAT'S ALL YOU ARE"!

So I'm getting a shake on now, he is an inch away from my face and screaming. He's in a dog wagon, and it's going fucking mental too!

"ANY NUMBER OF THINGS COULD HAVE GONE WRONG AND CAUSED ANY NUMBER OF PROBLEMS"! "I'VE GOT NEITHER THE TIME, NOR THE INCLINATION TO DEAL WITH THE LIKES OF YOU"!!!

Right then he turned on his heal, got back in his car and fucked off.

Funny as a fight once I realised I wasn't getting into one.

Couple of weeks back my wife and I were pulled pulled over by a blonde female cop as we were coming home from Thames.

we were Asked the usual. "Where are you from ? where are you going ? where have you been ?

I asked "what was the problem"? My wife was pillion.

Said 'blonde police officer' tells us how 'two motorcyclists' had out run them over the kopu Hikuwai road and police were looking for them. She then asked whilst my wife was still sitting on the back of bike, "are you two travelling together"? my answer was, "christ is that a trick questiion or not"?.

Officer told me to answer the question.. I repiled "we have but one bike lady, and two of us on it, does that answer your question".

She turned and walked back to her patrol car.
We had to finish laughing before we carried on home.

And she gets paid !
