just thought i better share this with u lot
i went out to a resturant for dinner, took the bike for easy parking etc. gave it a wash cos i had a spare 10mins before-hand
rode past the resturant, then hooked a u-turn to score a park i had seen
as i swing in i step off the bike to notice a bloke about my age running down the street waving (down the middle of the street mind you, not the footpath as if he was making sure i didnt run off)
so we chat and his friend catches up
seems he chased me since the u-banger just to chat
he tells me about his cagive mito with a RG350 (i think) engine
anyways, it felt good to get a positive reaction from the public for once
im always getting beeped and yelled at for my commuting style and nasty bike
was great to have someone actually point out individual good bits on my bike and all that
oh and i was waiting for that first question i always get
"what is it???"
i told him to look closer and figure it out
only took him about 10seconds and a few goes, pretty impressive
anyways, not many fighters in newcastle.... :D
oh and i had a bit of a lighthearted drag off some lights with a buell on the way home from work
floated the front in first and second, i dont think his buell had much hope of keepin' up with the mighty tiller
gave him a "thumbs up" when i turned off, got a nod ;)
anyways, just want u all to know that i am being a good little 'fighters ambassodor in newcastle!
