i think i’ve found my ideal woman!!
😛
If you like that sort of thing the Red Bull Air Race is in London this weekend – if I hadn’t forked out for a new Arai lid and my MOT next week I’d have contemplated going down your way to see it :O
Look, that was okay but if she also sung her 80’s hit China in Your Hand at the same time, then I’d be dead impressed.
It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girl’s dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live againOh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mindDon’t push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your handCome from greed
Never born of the seed
Took a life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our timeDon’t push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Oh your hand
Your dreams are china in your hand, wooah
Here in your hand
China in your hand, woh oh oh woh oh oh woh oh
Here in your handWoh! You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too far
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! For the china in your hand
But you shouldn’t push too hardYou take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too hard
You make those dreams reality
Yeah! China in your hands
But they’re only dreams@TurksMeister wrote:
Thank fuck for MOTs and …Arai…lids!!
Bleh the Helmet was £410 – but the difference being over a cheapo helmet is being alive or being alive and being a vegetable/dead 😮 Granted £60 of that was on an illegal-for-road-use dark tinted visor but the helmet looks so much more pimp with it – sort of like an all-black stormtrooper thing going on now 😉 http://www.araihelmet-europe.com/php/page/tourx2_show/pages/TourX%20motard%20black.htm
I may still see how much it will cost me to get down there and if I can stretch to it yet though 😉
Have you ever thought that the black illegal tinted visor is the reason you keep fuckin crashin? There’s illegal for a reason.
I sure you come up with some bollocks excuse anyway.
I don’t even ride with a visor down, I ride visor up and it’s the first time I’ve ever had a tinted visor, of any tint other than crystal clear! Considering how dark it is on the outside it is surprisingly visible on the inside – kind of like those 1 way mirror type things, but without the mirror.
visor up = flies n shit in your eye (which you get used to) but in the 99.9% of the time that isn’t happening you get better clarity because the clear plastic isn’t 100% opaque. You also hear more, which means you’re hearing things before most people with a visor down or in their cars with their doors/windows closed +/- their sound system on do, which makes you more aware of your surroundings, which makes you a better driver 😛
There are a few things you can’t prepare for *like the car behind you deciding not to brake at lights* or *like the car pulling to park on your side of the road when you’re almost parallel to it and the road behind you is clear* 🙄 If you want to hear bollocks excuses crash #1 the chap said his foot slipped off the brake…considering they have rubber grips (or atleast your shoes do) and as car drivers yourselves you know it’s nigh on impossible, it’s obviously a BS excuse but atleast he had the decency to admit liability. Crash #2 the chap says I was driving on the wrong side of the road and not looking… erm I was in my lane and I hit his front passenger side – to do that in the other lane I’d have to be driving either on the other pavement or atleast in the gutter? ROFL… To hit that side it’s plausible the car was at 45 degrees and in my side of the road, no?
