Well it's been a busy couple of weeks. Tenth anniversery for the wife and i a couple weeks ago and i was obligated to do something special or face the firing squad. It took some doin but i pulled it off. As soon as that was done i had to start planning a suprise B-Day party cause she turned forty on Saturday, all went well and i got pretty shit faced. Un comfortable moments supplied by yours truly. Couple all this with a layoff that has me playin Mr mom. A roll that is totally foriegn to me and not comfortable with but hey, deep breathe, i managed. The kids did, nt like my fishnet stockins and apron but if i,am gonna be a house bitch then everybody will have to make sacrifices. :shocker:
Anyway, yesterday was about 65 degrees and the wife suggested i go for a ride cause i deserved it, did'nt have to tell me twice, later.
It's supposed to snow wed thru sun so it had to be a good one. I'am just not real comfortable with the whole wheelie thing yet but i'am workin on it. Purposely took a bunch of back roads i had never been on so i could get lost. You know the kind, woods on one side, farm for miles on the other, high in the middle, sloped to either side and rough as hell from big rigs dodging weigh stations. I was doin ok, gettin my legs under me cause i have'nt ridden since i pit it in storage last October. I ran it up to the ton a few times and back down. I came up on a bridge doin about sixty in 3rd or 4th gettin on her pretty good. The bridge was new but the road is shit. The bridge is higher than the road with road leading up to it almost like a ramp with a similar drop off on the other side. I hit the ramp side on the front end and the front end hoisted up to about ten o-clock right before the whole bike went airborn to about mid bridge. :twofinger: I stayed in it in a kind of FTW mode now and hit the down ramp on the far side still mid wheelie and went airborne again. Landed on the rear about ten feet out and nailed it as the front end started to come down, bangin the next gear, whatever it was. Couple of farm kids standing with thier dad staring as dad gave me the thumbs up. I felt like a freakin hero. If they had known how utterly scared shitless i was they would have laughed. Now i'am fawkin geeked. How the hell did THAT happen, was that me? So i get home and junior is doin his ten minute thing in my car with mom sittin in a chair at the front of the garage. I pulled in past her and thought what the hell. Grabbed a handful of front brake and started feedin in clutch and throttle til the back end broke loose and nailed it, filled the garage with tire smoke and put a bunch of rubber in the wifes hair. My first ( and last burn out). Took the wife inside and knocked the savage out of her. Damn you Speedy, what have you done to me? :devil: A good day no doubt. Lars.
