I'm bored and stories are fun

[aussieidiot]

This forum is a little quiet at the moment and i'm bored.

Since i spend most of my time in my ute now, I don't get much time for riding.

The other day i had the opportunity to go for a ride but it was raining.
That just makes it more fun!!!!!

I was sitting over the limit the whole way. riding like a squid but, bloody hell, its was good. drifting out of corners seemed to be the trick of the night. as well as fly-by's on slow drivers in the fast lane. at one time i gave it too much throttle overtaking and hit a smooth tar join. the rear spun up and drifted out. this happened at about 120 k's (70mph) . WOO F"N HOO


I need to go to the track again or i'll lose my licence.

[speediva]

Nice one!!!!


I guess I can't say shit... I do 4wd drifting in my Stupidru (Subaru).




I need to get some frame sliders before I go trying anything stupid. My plastics are too pretty to waste. Besides, my bike won't see rain until I give it a serious wash and a nice solid coat of wax.

I don't ride in the rain. If I can avoid it that is.

Call me what you want, but I know i'll get myself killed. Or someone else will. And getting wet sucks.

man! i took the sv up to durango co(about 45 miles from where i live) to ride some twisties. i was moving pretty quick on a two lane highway. i start to take a pretty sharp curve. there is quite a bit of traffic in the oncoming lane but nothing in my and hadnt seen anything for quite a while. so as i am coming around the corner some idiot on an enduro is passing traffic around this corner coming straight at me. i pull out of my lean and quickly move to my outside lane. he leans a little more in to where he is riding the line right next to the car he is trying to pass. i dont know what the idiot was thinking.trying to pass around a corner you cant see around. oh well we missed eachother. i am just glad there wasnt a semi or anything behind me that could have taken him out.
thats my story for the day~!

I had a minor brain fart moment the other day, but luckily, nothing happened. I was approaching an intersection, when the light turned yellow. I was in the center of the lane like an idiot (instead of to one side or the other), and when I hit the brakes to stop, my bike just started sliding. I quickly released the brakes, moved to the side of the lane where car tires ride, and got enough traction to stop. Luckily it just ended up a pucker moment, not worse. Lesson learned, stay out of the oil drip strip, especially when trying to stop.

A mate of mine just got a new Hayabusa. He sold a '98 GSXR750 to get a cruiser style bike. I had no idea how small the Hayabusa was in real life.

He was my apprentice about 5 years ago and we haven't gone out for a ride since i bought my Blade in 03.

We decided to go up a common bike road with a realistic speed limit for bikes. its a 80k/hr-100k/hr limit and quite tight in some sections with corners rated at 55k/hr down to 25k/hr.

The cops don't usually patrol this road as bad as others and theres a fixed speed trap. it was awesome to get out and be able to use the HP of the blade and the Hayabusa on the straights past cars and knee down through 25k corners at closer to 80k/hr.

Off the mark acceleration, the blade was quicker and punch out from behind cars but through the twisties on the bumpy sections, he was so much quicker. Mine was too twitchy and needed smooth corners or i was sliding off. He went through some corners at the full 100k/hr where i was down to 75-80.
on one really smooth corner rated at 55k/hr i managed 120 to his 100. we video'd some stuff but kept the speedo out of view just in case.

I also had to be careful as my new tyre's are only about 400k's old and i hadn't gone to the edge yet. this was to be the day to lose the pussy strips

Cops here are looking at youtube videos and prosecuting guys who clearly show speed, negligent driving and licence plates. all they need is a date stamped video and they can book them within two weeks of the video date.

So, I guess now they'll be paying a few people to sit around and watch internet video all day...haha

I don't have any good riding stories yet...I've got a week 'n a half left of school before I can get back home, and my dad just pick up my bike today form a friend/mechanic who got it all up to par for a cheap price.

[aussieidiot]

my friends who i have never seen.

while i was on my ride with my mate, i was actually trying to do something i enjoy. I have been working so much for my future, i forgot how to enjoy life.

unfortunatly while i was riding trying for the first time in years for my enjoyment.
My wife chose to sleep with another man.

what was once my only escape from life and my one true passion has now been ripped from me.

I have now found out that for the 4 years i have worked 6-7 days a week for any money i could get, my wife has found comfort in other men.

i went out two nights ago in the rain. i thought if i could ride, my focus would be on the job of riding and not the heart breaking condition of my life.

I hit 270km/hr. my bike would no go any faster and i was going to deliberatley drop it. i wanted to stop the pain. i didn't. at one stage i was at a red light. the light went green and i was about to go off very fast. but i saw a car running the red light. i had time to make the decision to either put myself infront of another car breaking the law and relieving me from any liabilty and taking my life as well. i chose not too. i am not a believer in God. but i do think that was a test.

While on this ride i did many stupid things and lost control many times. i never fully lost control but my bike has never been pushed so hard.

i am in a very dark place and saying these things will help me regain some strength. Please do not post any hatred towards my wife. despite the devastation she has cast me in, i still love her and am trying to see a way for a future.

BUT if i do happen to crash my bike. I want people to know that it WILL NOT be a decision that i have made. riding is dangerous and we never know what will happen. I made a promise to myself and my Dad to not deliberatly crash.

I'm sorry to burden people with this but i think i have some friends here and i need to let it out.

She chose...as in not YOUR fault..

Working all that time for the two of you to have a good life?......

Been in that dark place and thought about the same exact thing...your blinded by pain, take your time to think about your moves, it will pass..

Again, thought the same thing. Its hard to give up on a relationship you put years into. I thought I still loved my ex after the first time (at least I THINK it was the first) she cheated. I forgave and forgot. Two years later it happened again.....Because my long work hours trying to live comfortable...I finally let it go and her go. To this day I can't stand to even see her. I want bad things to happen to her. Maybe thats one sided, after all, I wasn't there. I "could be cheating too" according to her...nevermind the paychecks....and the fact there arent any women wrenching on big rigs that I know of, it not like a fling at work thing was happening..

Its never a burden to vent! Its healthy....

I hope its not too rude of me to intrude. I liked reading your posts ever since reading "9)does he have a girlfriend or special animal friend" in the "do americans have a sense of humour" thread.(priceless )..Nobody wants hear something bad happened to you...

[aussieidiot]

thank you for the comments.

Its the small things you notice now.

My photos gone from her wallet. she's not wearing her rings.

I'm so lost.

with our housing market now, we won't sell for what we owe.

I will lose everything.

even my job is suffering.

I just want to know if i'm working for us or me from now on. if its just me then i will work even harder. if its us i'll back off to preserve what we once had and try for happiness.
even though i've been wronged, she has control. i know i can end it too but i don't think i want too.

Please post support only, negative will severly fuck with my head. I can't really say to much to my friends because my wife is ashamed of whats happened. if she feels that everyone knows and is judging her to be evil then she will run to this other guy for support and i don't have a chance.

my other concern is, she has just been in contact with her favourite cousin who dumped his fiance on their wedding day. he was ashamed and ran away. same scenario but i hope for a different outcome.

[72chevelleOhio]

It kinda sounds like your tucking your tail and going with it, when you should be laying down the law on her..

To me is sounds like you need to step back, look at the big picture of whats happening. What really caused it? Figure that out and where you want the relationship to go, then tell her "this is what I want...." and see if she wants the same. (because she probably don't know what she wants yet)

If she wants to be with the other guy you can't force her to be with you. You could be beating yourself up for no reason. If its something you can fix or try to fix then great!

Of course there are so many ways for it to go. Really only you and her will know what way that needs to be. Hopefully you will figure that out sooner rather than later.

Theres always things you miss and things you don't......Try not to think you'll miss something when you can find it with another woman.....

I hope thats general enough you get the idea of what I'm trying to say...
If you two make it through this, great! If you two decide to end it, great!
But don't blame only yourself, think you could have done something when you couldn't have, or think everything is all down hill from here...

[aussieidiot]

i have had plenty of time to cross reference all the possible scenarios.

bottom line is, i still love her and want to be with her. I will do everything i can to work through this.

I can't make her love me. i can't make her stay with me.
i can only try to do what i think is right.

If it fails to work out, then i'll be forced to spend more time with my special animal friend. Coco. she's a caramel goat with a nice set of teats.

I need to smile for once this week. My motto has always been "smile, life sucks" but i never really believed it untill now.......

[72chevelleOhio]

If you want, I have a little (22) step-sister I can fix you up with. She looks like the trailer park version of the Olsen twins.....
Or she has this hound dog that LOVES peanut butter, you know, whichever...
:-)

[richtazz]

Blayne, that sucks dude. I'm so used to reading all your funny stuff, this really slapped me in the face. I consider you a friend, and I hate to see a friend hurting.

I've been cheated on, so I know what you're going through. It's even worse that it happened while you were doing something you love, and that is now associated with her transgression.

I will send you a PM with some advice, but I wanted to let you know in an open forum that I'm here if you need a friend.

[knorwj]

I to have been cheated on and I've cheated. I am also still with the girl that this happened with. All I can say is that for me it hurt just as much to cheat on her as it did to be cheated on. Too bad I didn't realize it until after I did it. Same holds true for her. I guess Thats how I know I love her... I forgot for awhile but now I know. Maybe your situation is similar and your girl is hurting as well. It may be better to get it out in the open and hurt for awhile so that you two can get better over time. Rather than let the guilt eat her up.


Its been over 6 months for us and I still get a knot in my stomach sometimes thinking about it. but with each day it gets better.
