Amazing Fail

A few of us were enjoying breakfast yesterday in a biker cafe in Sussex when a powerful sports bike of some description roared past, (and we think) tried to do a poser wheelie but over egged it and flipped... the bike went bouncing and sliding several hundred metres down the road quickly followed by the rider sliding along on his arse. There were a cacophony of sickening and very expensive sounding noises as the bike's soft bits were being torn apart.

Thankfully the rider seemed ok but was very visibly shaken. The bike - not so good, but to be fair it was so far away we couldn't see exactly what was left of it... Probably a bit like the Terminator in the closing scenes of the first film with all its flesh ripped away...

It only goes to show the importance of having proper protective clothing as the poor guy managed to avoid several month in hospital for skin grafts and other exciting surgery. Damaged pride and a seriously dented bank balance is a painful but recoverable condition.

I'd suggest that before people try to pull daring stunts in front of breakfasting crowds they first consider a) there is a chance of serious embarrassment and b) it's costly on bikes and leathers. Oh - it also slightly illegal.

Speaking of illegal - we trundled up to Box Hill and were surprised to see quite a few sports bikes with no number plates... What's that all about?!?

 

They were all very absent minded and drove off without re-fitting them...

Still, if they drive like I imagine then thankfully they are highly likely to apply the Darwin effect and remove themselves from the gene pool

 

A lone Officer on what looked like a Police GS650 turned up half an hour later and 'plodded' (hahaha get it?) straight through the parking area and away. Maybe on a very futile pursuit of the miscreants...

A GS650? These budget cutback are undermining our Police force - I think the Traffic Officer was probably expected to shout neenaaaww neeennnaaawwww very loudly whilst watching the bad guys speed off into the distance...

 

I for one am too old and 'square' to do anything ultra naughty like that - i'll stick to the speed limits (or try too - which explains the recent 'Speed Awareness Course')...

 

Could be, ours were at Rykas at about 11:00 before moving on.

It's a shame that people like that create a perception with the general public that we are all aggressive / illegal drivers. To be fair, most of us look like evil storm troopers with all the biker kit, helmets and thigh length boots, chains, tattoos, nose rings, broken teeth and halitosis - its therefore not especially surprising we don't get invites to the Vicars tea parties.

I always try to be polite and wave a cheery thank you to everyone that decides not to pull out or cut me up - well maybe not everyone, just the pretty ones

 

maybe that's just me?!?

But you're ok with the chains, tattoos, nose rings, broken teeth and halitosis bit...

I have worked through being called Square, Doofus, Geek, Nerd and a vast list of others... Until now I thought them all terms of endearment...

 

They are terms of endearment
You silly old Geek

 

I’m so square that I raise my voice to allow the audience to know that Mia Wallace draws a rectangle... not a square as she implies!

 

Well done on your movie trivia! You should get out more

 

Now you are getting obscure...

 

Thanks....I think

Dilli, I suppose in today’s terms being told your cool is the total opposite of being called a square.

We all know on here that your not a square so that makes you a ‘cool dude’

Well if it helps, i'm SICK!

Unfortunately not in the cool opposite kind of way - but have instead come down with a traditional version/definition of SICK - hacking, coughing and spluttering like a rusty old Harley Davidson. Lemsips, Benylin, Sudafed and anything else I can get my hands on - all taken by the bucket load. Is the room supposed to be spinning and so sparkly? Oooooohhhh - I think I can fly...

 

Not really, there are several religious references throughout... but it’s not my theory. Personally I think that it’s a willy wonka ticket! (Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp)
