There is a bit of a struggle going on between my ears as to how this should
be done. It relates to the thread started by "corks"... use ya mirrors:
"corks" <trigarti67 DeleteThis @nospam.iinet.net.au> wrote in message
news:479f2d25$0$9726$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au...
However, in the scheme of things, that's history now and the appropriateness
of the following quote might not get the recognition that I think it
deserves if posted there... so,
in Twist Bits, AMCN, 28/11 - 11/12/08, p 122, Boris has this to say:
"It's not very sporting to poke fun at the slow kids in class, but it does
grant me some schadenfreude at their grotesque worthlessness.
Not one of these arseclowns has yet managed to grasp that motorcycling is
not a sheltered workshop, a crèche for the uncertain, or a mutual admiration
society. It's a true live-or-die lifestyle where the stakes are imponderably
high and dumbness is paid for in meat."
Yeh, IMO too good to let pass, sanitization doesn't do much for me.

Another view is possible. The truckdriver was extremely and possibly
criminally negligent. The speed difference between the bike and the truck
was such that the truck would have hit any number of at least moderately
experienced motorcyclists. Vilifying the motorcyclist who was killed
advances neither justice nor responsible driving.

Boris is a bit of a tool who loves the badboy image. Personally I think
motorcycling is a choice you make that is totally irrational and dangerous but
the payoff is a lot of fun. 2 of my other hobbies scuba diving and Brazillian
Jiu Jitsu could be thought of the same way. Both have huge potential for
death(scuba diving) and injuries (BJJ and I have a multitude of stuffed joints
and broken bones to prove it) but both I love doing and continue to do for the
payoff I get in fun.

Yeh...  well it was raining. here today and I did make 2 genuine
attempts to get started out there, but had to find something better to do. I
have been sitting on that quote for a while now and it just had to fit in
somewhere.

Um, happened to pay homage to it while down at the Classics last weekend.
All seems to work ok. Must have finally digested all the hard lumps
deposited by those bloody Q'landers down for the GP. Any such thing
happening in the future might lead to some vetting being done.

It sells magazines, I've got no doubt there are people who buy it just
so they can get worked up about whatever Boris has said this month.

not true, dumbness can be paid for in other ways and real dumbness is
something I have come close friends with over the last 6 weeks, well it more
then close, we are getting married but hopefully in 3 or 6 months I will
divorce the bitch for ever >> Stay informed about: Appropriate?? |
