There's always one

Rider who thinks he's fucking Mick Doohan or Fogarty. One today was riding
(and I use the term advisedly) a Bimota. Very nice and shiny and either well
cared for or rarely used. I'm opting for the latter.

As I approach a set of lights, there he is sat on the inside of a car and we
ALL have to turn left, coz we're going onto a one-way street, so I sidle up
along the car on the other side. Lights change and I pull away. Not stupidly
coz I'm straight into a left hand turn, but quick enough to leave the Bimota
rider behind.

I leather it down to the next set of lights (about 3/4 mile) and once again
just sidle past the cars to the head of the queue and again we all have to
turn left so I position myself as before, just to the right of the lead car.

Chummy comes fucking FLYING down the road, but he can't go anywhere coz the
lights are red. He takes up the same position as the last set of lights, but
there's bugger all room and he clips the mirror of the leading car. Noises
escape from the car and then Mr Bimota escapes from the car too, by
hammering the crap out of the bike when the lights go green. He hammers it
all the way to the next set of light. A huge distance requiring just one
gearchange and that's back to neutral, coz they're only a couple of hundred
yards (if that) away and they're on red. I could tell this bloke was getting
pissed off. first a lowly Zed thou takes him on the outside and beats him to
the next Grand Prix start line and then he gets an earful off some bloke in
a car ffs.

Anyway, I gave him a nod and then the lights changed and he "went for it".
Unfortunately, not very far as his first gearchange found neutral and he was
so intent on getting the **** in front of me that he had the throttle pinned
when he eventually managed to get the fucking in gear. That's when the fun
really began, coz when he slammed the lever into 2nd, the bike did the most
spectacular wheelie it's been my pleasure to witness.

It was what's known as an "Eddie Waring".

Up and over.

The poor thing didn't look nearly as nice as it did 5 minutes before.

I hope you left your card.

It's a chick flick. You have to pretend to like it
if you want to worm your way into their affections.
And you have to say that Pierce Brosnan can act.

 

I was too busy leaving the scene.

The wife liked it. I have no comment as I've not seen it.
