A warning..!

Post by Gimlet »

A mate of mine was riding his S1000RR along the A30 towards Shaftesbury the other day. On the long straight by Blackmore Vale Caravans he went screaming past a Repsol Honda Fireblade. In Shaftesbury he did a lap of the Ivy Cross roundabout and rode back down the A30 again. When he got to the bottom of the hill the Fireblade was parked on the side of the road with blue lights flashing and the rider was standing in the carriageway waving him down.
He was lucky. He was given a talking to and told to keep a lid on it in future, which was sporting considering he was probably doing jail speeds. The next person might not be so fortunate.
Be careful out there and trust absolutely nothing, on two or four wheels..

At least they're not using anything actually fast... :)) :-B
Still, the good news is If they can afford to buy themselves sports bikes to play with, they'll surely be able to afford the resources to find out who broke into my lock-up and nicked my tools.

But you know they have a dirty secret at home in the garage that they are ashamed of.

Indeed ! :P I go out over that way a lot so will keep a look out for the dubious Fireblade. Mind you they will have to be going slowly for me to try passing them :wink:
