I had a sting in my tail while riding home last night.........you know that mood you get in sometimes? You just want to put the hammer down.........and.....I did.
Traffic was pretty heavy by the time I got away from the office - no problem.......just carve it up with the Split......I was having a ball, moving through the 60km/h traffic @~0.80c.....not being too much of a larrikin - just having fun.
As I approached point B on the Map - for some reason my "Spidey Senses" kicked in and told me to back off......I did - and lucky too!
The traffic had slowed and I was in filtering mode rather than full-blown splitting.......as I moved through point B above I filtered slowly and smoothly past two Police patrol cars - one in each lane travelling abreast.
I saw them as I approached and my instant thought was the Akra's......no baffles......quick shift into 3rd gear.....constant throttle.....no load on engine, less compression........chug, chug, chug - past........phew....
I continued to filter on through whilst checking the mirrors......no "Blues and Twos".......in the clear.....
The traffic starts moving again and I signal right and slipped into the flow......I wait till point C - feeling like I'm in the clear then GTFO..........hammer time all the way home from there =D
Fun times indeed...........
\I like Sport mode (especially more so with the aid of the FatDuc)

First warm morning - Get a ride in before work..........Surely!
And don't call me Shirley..................
Woke up nice and early today - one of those natural wake ups @ ~5:30am, bright eyed, mind alert body ready to go..............excellent.
Completed the morning pushbike ride of ~20kms......nothing too extreme just a sprint to get the blood pumping.
It was 7:00am, I had showered and eaten and didn't have a meeting at the office until 9:15 so what the hell - morning ride!
Traffic was pretty abysmal to be honest - bloody Burnley and Domain tunnel closure in Melbourne so ALL the industrial and commuting traffic was on auxillary roads - but hey just more "Mobile Twisties" to carve up for the split eh?
