not so much a willy willy....

Not luck - Betty has clearly offended some motorcycling god in a prior life
and the SV is now possessed by an unstill spirit.

How about an exorcism at unaugural7 ? - you usually see BT rolling his eyes
and muttering incantations - replace the unclean spirit with something over
proof perhaps.

Hugs and commiserations Betty.

 

The only proper way to exorcise an unstill spirit from an SV is to
douse the SV in petrol and initiate an exorcism pyre... But Betty
should not, repeat NOT, be astride when it is lit...

G,d,r...

Onya bike

Bugga. Wasn't even thinking in French. Got locked into crustacean mode
(and probably got that wrong too).

ce la vie

 

Started riding in 1977. Got my first bike in 1980. Got my bike licence
in 1981.

1981 Hit by car turning right while I was overtaking him. Bruised leg,
shock.

1983 Lost the rear through a series of twisty low speed bends. Gravel
rash on forearm.

1983 Dropped bike descending Mt Stuart when it jumped out of gear
rounding a bend.

1987 Hit wallaby, no crash, some damage to front guard.

1992 Hit by car that turned right off a two lane roundabout. He turned
right from left lane, I was in right lane going straight through.

Since 1998 I've had low speed or stationary drops on the Pig six times.

Disc lock left on, Bagster tank bag full of groceries, top heavy...

Touched front brake on dry grass at PI, lost front.

Pulled up for break near Maryborough, *thought* the sidestand was
securely locked down...

Overbalanced when dismounting in garage, dropped bike, fell through
fibro wall. (Me, not the bike.)

Pushing bike in garage, let weight go too far in wrong direction.

Same again in Target car park, pushing backward this time.

I think that's all of it.

 

Rubbish. She offended Erato (the Muse in charge of top poetry) who had a
quick word with Aeolus (the wind guy). The God Who Looks After Stupid
Motorcyclists did what he could, which is why she didn't get blown to
New Zealand.

Mocking up some ceremony involving alcumohol and BTh incanting is asking
for trouble, IMHO.

 

So far...

 

What she said.
I don't know where you think you gained the right to say such things,
but I doubt if it's through depth of experience. Even if it was, it's
still a lame attitude.

 

You've never been in a Fortitude Valley hotel women's toilet after State of
Origin then!!

 

Oh dear god [looks to the heavens]; what DID you do to earn all this bad
luck Betty?!!?
You seem so nice in person. (Sort of an Anti-Postman-Pat)

 

<gasp!> CLEM! You mean..... you HAVE? <evil grin>

betty

 

Or add a sidecar?????????

 

Riding's not the problem Fraser. Love is the problem!

Betty loves sports-bikes and loves riding bikes with a bit of power but
Betty is a woman with women's legs and a petite woman's size and strength so
she compromises and rides a 650 that makes her deliriously happy but she
overbalances occasionally.

If she rode a 250 Virago she'd have zero oopsies but she'd be loveless and
unhappy.

Now Fraser.... do you REALLY think it's wise to make redheads unhappy?

 

LOL, yeah, perhaps I was Jack the Ripper in a past life, in which case it's
all karmic and I mustn't complain. ;-)

I do wonder whether I have more than my fair share of crap, and keep telling
myself it means there's something fabulously wonderful just around the
corner!

I'm going to get stuck into some weights over the next 6 weeks, to make sure
I keep my strength up. Don't know how much gardeing I'll be able to do (it
being another sanity saver which may now be off the list for a while - can't
do much digging or hard garden work on crutches!

Perhaps this is the time to start the Great Australian Novel...

So many options... ;-)

betty

 

Sheesh; I wonder if there's an "I rode with Doug...." T-shirt!!

 

There speaks a wise man..... have been keeping the Ranga Rage in check, but
it's taken some doing...

betty

 

I'm sure you know enough about angering the gods to have been touching wood
when you wrote that!

Being an author sounds great if it weren't for the paperwork
