M'bikes on the Box.

Hiya Peoples.
I'm into bikes, there's no questioning that, But I hate watching them on
the box, No matter how exciting the racing is, I struggle to stay awake! No
matter how hard I try!
IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!!!

 

That's nice, dear.

 

maybe if you try imagining there's a Tarago right behind your couch...


Nev..
'03 ZX12R

 

so 15 secs would be your record or do you blow before getting in ?

 

Don't the screen the International Tarago racing on FoxSports3? I
thought it was right after the lawnbowling...

big (I thought I saw the advertising for it during Pimp My Booth...)

 

What do you ride?

He has got the latest Malvern Star Roadster

 

Has anyone actually read any Hunter S Thompson? What'd evryone else think?

I tried to struggle through the 'Great shark hunt' but couldn't make it. I
kinda got the impression that he was just another drug taking **** up.
Sonny Barger kinda reinforced that impresion in his biography, not that I'm
entirely sure of the validity of that reference.....

Opinions anyone?

Yeah: trolls suck.

GB

 

wasn't trying to troll.. easy on the trigger.

 

Nope. Everyone just pretends they have, so they can seem
clever and radical and impress chix0rs.

-----sharks

 

He didn't say he was _onto_ bikes

A real interesting guy to read *about*, but his own shit is so mangled
and whacked out that only a stoner would bother.

 

Read his book on the Hells Angels last year, (still got it here somewhere).

Readable, interesting in an odd sort of way. I suspect it says more
about Thompson himself than it does about the Angels.

I'm sure that's not the case(y)

Why? Not pretty enough?

GB, ah shit, now I've got both kinds of music stuck in my head!

 

Yeah, I'm actually a big fan, I've read everything of his I can get my
hands on - I think his writing style is great to read, and his "gonzo
journalism" philosophy of getting involved in the subject of your
writing rather than passively observing it from the outside definitely
introduces a new viewpoint on any subject he writes about (not always a
valid or balanced viewpoint, but usually an interesting one).

I understand perfectly that not everyone shares my view on his worth
though, the same way I don't expect everyone to appreciate my tastes in
music or food or films or bikes... I reckon Boris (the "bad boy"
columnist and sometimes reviewer in AMCN) writes similarly and generates
similar antagonism...

****, _thats_ what I've been doing wrong... I've been _actually reading_
Hunter S Thompson and hanging round cool cafes _pretending_ to read
Fyodor Dostoevsky!

Crap!

big

 

They made a movie from one of his books. So he's famous!

You could try "Hells Angels", great underground journalism.
