sixpence - DUSTBIN!

That's exactly what my anus did during a major fucking moment I had on
the way home this evening.

Merrily weaving along the A1060 towards the village thinking it was
sods law that I chose jeans and trainers and it was now pissing down
and that I'd best not crash.

Came up to a few cars and thought I'd pass them to get into the dry 2
seconds quicker. I didn't gas it like a nutter, or at least I didn't
think I did, but as I moved out to overtake the first car the back
wheel suddenly lost traction, the engine screamed and the bike
fishtailed violently from side to side.

I was doing about 75mph but it all felt so slow that I had enough time
to think to myself "Oooh dear, I'm going to crash. I wonder where I'll
land!" How I stayed on I'll never know although I feel I've missed my
calling in the Rodeo circuit. I could almost sense the panic of the
poor chap I was overtaking, I wonder if he could sense mine. Before the
next car the bike settled as suddenly as it spazzed and I was sitting
in the seat with what I can imagine was a bemused and relieved
expression on my face.

I've a meeting in E17 tomorrow at 10am, I think I'll wear leathers.

The moral I fear is don't ride like a cack handed **** or you'll
fucking crash.... eh Statto ;-)

 

Just think though some car driver is now relating the tale of how this cool
biker overtook him sideways in the wet

 

Heh, assuming he didn't hear the scream of "oh clucking bell!"

 

It's all those fucking diesel cars on the road creating oil slicks.
Bastards.

Sanctimonious wanker.

 

Hey, I had gloves on.

Are you John Stalker?

 

heh,

Riding back the same way this morning I couldn't see anything so if it
was a patch of diesel it's been washed away. Probably me being
hamfisted but I'm still amazed at how suddenly and violently it broke
away.

Ho hum. That was yesterday.

 

There is a roundabout I go through on my way to and from work that has a
filling station beside it. There is one point in particular that is ALWAYS
slippy. I think it is has to be diesel. I have done exactly what you
describe twice at this point on the bike. I'm a slow learner. I have also
nearly lost the back end of a front whell drive car while not going
particularly quickly. The other day there was some sporty - I assume rear
wheel drive - car in the bushes. I think someone gave it a bit much gas on
exit.

 

Not necessarely diesel. If it's been dry for any length of time, all kinds
of sediments will build up 'in' the road (sand, apple cores, pear seeds for
instance) which will be released during rain and make the road a bit more,
eeerm, interesting. At least, that's my theory.

Glad you're ok though

 

Heh. I was going to correct you, then I began to wonder if no-one else
had noticed, so thought I'd leave it.

You are sir.tony AICMFF cancelled posts.

 

It could've been worse, you cou..... as you were.

 

I managed that in Spain many years ago on a CG125 when it had a front
puncture on a mountain road ... both me and the pillion [Mrs Cane the
1st] managed to stay on.

Just as well too. Shorts, T shirt and no lid.

 

Odd thing. I've noticed that all the posts mentioning SirTurnip's
address from the first time have all disappeared from google. The little
shit must've been complaining.

 

If only Google.com could stop darsy from wacking off in his garden. Ho
hum, seems like Google's march towards global domination still has some
mountains to climb.

 

I've had him on video, DVD and the kitchen table.

 

Is darsy aware of these extra special events?

 

non!

 

No!
