| | Posted : 16 Apr 2011 - 20:23 Post title : Blood rush | | | I know Im spamming a bit tonight but Im waiting for the 30 minute warm up for Game of Thrones at 10 oclock hehehe.
Anyway after doing some serious off the line rides today, yeah ok I know its childish , I found something out.
There was a point in one off the line acceleration when the blood just rushed to the back of my head and my eyes blured . The torque was absolutly stunning. If I didnt have the riders backrest I recon Id be off the back . It reminded me of the launch on the Hulk in Islands of adventure. ........... Love it..................

I just got back about and hour ago myself, from a 250 miler in which i found myself riding thru a basketball diameter puddle of tar in the middle of the road. Betcha can't guess what i've been doing for the last hour.

Ok, I'm TRYING not to laugh at you, Daz. You DO have my sympathies, but I know from lot's of reading that you detail your bike after every ride anyway... adding some tar to the apres-ride ritual can't be too much fun.
Druid got a blood rush and Daz got the tar... oops!

I would rather have a bit of tar to clean up than be stuck at home like I am because of YET ANOTHER snowstorm. I keep waiting for this global warming thing they keep promising but it's just not working out! This is the coldest spring I can remember.

Spring? I thought you only had 2 seasons in Canada; winter and poor sledding?
