Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007Motorcycles, dancing, a good book and sex
Just in from a rather wonderful girls night out. Sometimes you really don't realise how much you need to dance until you do it. [1] I was trying to explain the link between the stuff in the title to two non riding friends. The closest I could get was comparing the thrill of 100 mph plus filtering when you're in the zone, where everything is shooting towards you so fast and yet you're completely focused and know where you are in relation to the world, with the random motion through a packed dance floor, hair flying, elbows out and space magically appearing around you. In the moment, like great sex or when you're caught up in a book. Is there a better explanation? How do you explain why you ride to people who don't? [1] Rambling pissed happy bird bit. I like this DJ, we gave him a set list at the start of the night and he played all of it, though he substituted sit down for laid and common people for do you remember the first time. However as I got superstitious, love shack, killing in the name of, are you gonna be my girl, mr brightside and standing at the edge of control (which is just as fantastic to dance to as I thought it would be) amongst others I'm happy.

Oddly enough that is one that never happens. The phantom "n" before the "c" is almost an everyday occurrence, an accented final "e" is another, the two together is not uncommon. I get annoyed about the added "n". Snot a matter of difficulty with pronunciation but more about them not bothering to read what they think they are looking at. Says a lot about people does the way the try to pronounce my name it does and I make judgements based upon it. It is good with telephone salesdroids though. Them: "Hello is that Mr <pause> HAVE ANCH?" Me: Where did get the en? Them: Pardon? Me The en, where did you get it from, is it on the paper or the screen in front of you or did you make it up all on your own? Them: I don't understand, what is an en? Me: Don't you listen to what you are saying? The EN, where did you get it from? etc, etc, etc. Signaturesteve auvache A Bloo one with built in safety features > > In article <1187176976.696720.303...@57g2000hsv.googlegroups.com>, darsy wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > In the past I've recieved a name badge as "Mr Demon", I was quite > pleased with it actually.

Recently, yes. I've been doing lots of motorway miles. I'm most comfortable between 90 and 110, after that it is all too quick and I back off. Why the air of disbelief? As far as I'm aware you've not seen me ride. I'm still sh.t at twisty lanes, but getting through motorway traffic I just want to get to where I'm going as quickly as possible.

If I could introduce a degree of reasonable-ness? I *think* what's happening is that darsy thinks that you mean that you're "filtering" in stationary or near stationary traffic at 110 mph, which is the work of a clueless fuckwit, whereas what I *think* you mean is that you're doing 90-odd when the traffic's doing 70-odd, which is, if not perfectly reasonable for someone of your limited experience, the |
