    Nah stuff that for a joke.

    I woke up this morning and felt like I'd tweaked every bloody muscle in my upper body, not to mention sore knees from my legs getting wacked into the ground trying to ride the bike through the wobbles after I got back on.

    This is two bizzare incidents in the last couple of months now, after the near miss when I went sideways over Moonshine Rd bridge after the rear tyre blew in a real hurry, both of which I'm come out of completely unscathed except for sore muscles.

    Is the Universe trying to tell me something? Surely its not time to buy a cruiser already?
    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.

    It happened far too quick to do anything. Makes you wonder just how fast you really can get in the shit, eh?
    Ah yes, once the adrenaline wears of things are always so much different!

    The Universe is telling you how good you are at hanging it all out... and to get a speedway bike!

    An RF crossed up with smoke pouring off the rear tyre would certainly be a sight to behold...

    Nah, it just proves what an awesome bike the RF really is... again...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Did you take a blow to the head too Simon?

    We'll have a wee break from these close call threads from you for a while if you don't mind.
