We live in Kapiti and we see a lot of super dooper cars from wellie that head up our way for a pootle on a sunny day... I've always said that even if I won Trevor Lotto I'd never buy one as your first reaction is usually a snigger at some lardy lothario peddaling a mid life crisis with a side order of bleach, silicon and botox...
Now - this morning as I was burbling, coughing wheezing and grinding along on the venerable Moto Guzzler I come up behind something that would be worth the sneer and derision of my fellow 'umans. An F360 F1... Feck - what a nice noise when its given its head.
Honestly the mighty yet ancient Guzzler has managed to shatter any hint of a baffle that rust, electric drills and a stout iron rod has not disintergrated long ago and its fairly - erm - 'noticable' in an Italian fashion. Not behind that thing it wasn't. Even at a safe following distance my whole bike was swallowed up in an opera in many cylinders. It vibrated my whole bike and my spine turned to custard which flowed into my boots (waterproof trousers yer see). For the first time ever I couldnt hear my bike running! I had to look at the tach to check it was still running (silly boy we were on the freakin motorway of course its still running). All my aches and pains disappeared as Mr Brain diverted all resources to my ears to drink in the sound...
Yup - I reckon I could handle a bit of snickkering for a spin in that puppy.... Well done Mr F1 driver man - quite made my morning...
