For the first time in months I decided to forgo the Friday journey to Mikeeyrat's mountaintop compound, just too fucking shagged after a week on the road selling fine wine and debauchery to make the trip, so by lunchtime I was hangin to head south to catch up with crew . . . saw the girls at the shop then thumbed the go button and headed for the hills to catch Chook, aka, the Brushcutter, for a coffee and some real world discourse on things of a two and four wheeled nature . . . . I'm not the arch-alternative lifestyle kinda guy but the little patch of dirt at the top of the range that Louie and her man call their own is simply ferking gorgeous, far enough removed from the bustle of the big smoke to be a time warped oasis and close enough to escape to easily on a weekly basis . . . . ran into PB on the way home after all the riding had been done, he's owned the Fat Blob Squashtail since '98, a real tidy, honest, well used example of the second release of the scoot that Ah-nold made famous all those years ago, Pauly was another of my mates who used to 'suggest' I should ditch the Trumpys and 'patch over' to a Milwaukee mount, never, said I for twenty five years ago . . . . oh how the weirdo worm turns.
like you say, not a long one, but a good one.
ReplyDeletealways liked those early evo, solid wheeled fatboys, ever since seeing the way the germans hacked the rear mudguards off them back in the days of the kent custom bike show, that one looks a minter, very nice [ the purple veiny love removal mosheen looks like an anorexic greyhound at the side of it though mate, sportsters are for life, not just xmas, unless you do the same as me and sell a perfectly good running one for a hinckley bonneville that i've spent more time pushing than riding, fuck...]
ReplyDeleteMe too Timmy, I didn't realise until Paul got the White Knight that they changed the wheels to seventeens, the photo doesn't really show it but it also showed up the skirtster as being massive compared to even the pre 2003 models . . . no chance mate, the Penis Mobile won't be going anywhere, ever . . . think I've finally learnt from the mistakes of the past, unless some of us, I don't have a flotilla of bikes to choose from . . . as for the Blooraville, you'll have it sorted in no time.
