Wrath of a newby

#1 Unread post by Draco'sWrath »

Hey Folks,

New rider here. 1st month on an '09 Cow-A-Socky Ninja 250R. Loving it.

Looking forward to the discussions to be had and what not and what say you.

Now if the weather would just clear up here in Toronto...I could go for a boot. Stuck inside, poopy.

HIIIIIII!!!! :mrgreen:

Weather man said 14C when I booked to get the bike back. Well Mother nature said I don't think so I think he'll be fine with 4 C 26km + winds

It was Saturday for everyone else but it was Sunday for me. I had that needle stuck at 80km all the way home (which is the posted speed limit) now most people fly throgh 100km or higher but I didn't care I was getting home safe and sound this time so I was out for a Sunday drive.

Same at the stoplights did a couple extra head checks before I rolled out on the green. Only stalled it once :oops:

My 86.9km journey came to an end. Wife made some corned beef for me for supper had it on some nice rye break with melted cheese and horseradish dijion mustard. And dill pickles yummy.

Went back to my uncles had some beers watched the hockey game. Aunt Uncle still dont get why I bought a new lid instead of using my old one as it wasn't scratched up that bad. :frusty: So in the second intermission they were in the garage having a smoke so I came out to chat my uncle put on my old helmet sat on the bike and me vroom vroom noises and promptly fell off the right side head first into the wall that was less than a foot away. :laughing: good thing he had my old helmet on. Aunt then said that should get any idea of you getting one right out of your head. Now stay the hell off it so we don't have to buy him a new one.

This while it was raining outside. So in short you answer is I won this battle but mother nature let me know she was around and showed me some mercy.

suppose that would have been a better answer then all that fluff above :wink:

No, the fluff as you call it is what gives us an idea of who you are and what you're like. It's also just fun to read...
