Sunshine and horse power
Posted by stocky on February 25, 2009
OH yeah the sun is shining and the roads are dry
I’ve just finished work, have got the tea prep’ done all I hve to do is cook it
I got the ‘beasty out and spanked her up over the 3 mile [both ways]
There’s something addictive about horse power
The feel of the motor delivering the tourqe to the road, that almost flying but not quite thrill of leaning over so far that the only thing keeping you there is tourqe and friction
The power of the engine forcing the friction between tyre and road surface to adhere you at such speed and inclination would take a rocket scientist a entire black board to explain
But there you are “Cranked over”, with the whole “ZEN” thing going on, at one with the machine, feeling the road more than seeing it, apart of the bike as though you are siamese twins joined at the hip
If she starts to walk out you lay over further and give her more power, you can feel the tyre on the edge of slippin’ as you go for another gear, the touqe changes and your out onto the straight now thats EXCITING
Man i don’t care what any one says that beats both sex and drugs [ I know I’ve had both {sometings at the same time} BOREING!!!!!] haha
So tonight straight after tea I’m back on the Beasty, I may go for a quick run up the coast toward Oamaru there’s a lay-by about 20km south of there that has a great view of the beach back down to shag point and north toward Moeraki
It’s a good place for stretch before riding home, the journey time is less than an hour each way, with some good road, hopefully the nice policeman is at home having his tea and I can give her a stretch.
It’s the main highway so you can’t go too wild as theres always traffic, so you dont want to push much more than around 140kmph, but still alot of fun as you pass everyone except more dedicated riders or the odd maniac in a sports/ performance car
It’s always fun when you get some one who going faster and passes you and then match their speed staying two or three hundred meters behind them and let him find the policeman for you
