daglad Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Hi all hope everyone is well in Yamaha land. Went out for a tootle yesterday, bit of a shakedown run really, anyway on the way back in there is a stretch of about two miles which is pretty good for a blast to finish off. Yesterday l followed a shogun up the hill that leads to the stretch. This geezer in the Shogun suddenly became all Jenson Button after spotting me in his mirrors. What a laugh he was all over the road trying to keep me behind him. They are bloody fast them shoguns he reached nearly 90mph at one point. Laugh l nearly fell off!!! what a plonker rodney. Any other daft car stories out there Catch ya later.

I live in Ontario Canada, heavily policed by Robo-cops(OPP) So I spot a vehicle gaining on me. Oh-OOOH. I slow down a little and this yellow Pickup truck "roars" by me. That's no cop!! I speed up and see in his rear window in big letters: Nobody wants to play with me. I know,I am stupid, but now I am pushing him. We were doing 245 km/hr. in no time. The the next village came up and we had to be GOOD Turned out it was a young snotnosed kid, we waved at each other ond I was off. Had to be at least supercharged. Generation Gap? I am age 70,still enjoy a bit of speed. Made checkout time all right. My bike is 2002 Yamaha FZ1 1000(Fazer in Europe.
