I like the sublime green hornet
but it seems to draw in the squidly's that say they can ride but evidentally can't so much.??? Happened again yesterday(sorry didn't get pics this time so I guess it never happened
at least I know he wished it didn't) but my buddy posted up a sportbike ride on local CL just trying to get some guys together for a ride and low and behold we end up meeting up with a couple other guys who wanted to ride. same as always let everyone know if someone is too slow you can pass respectfully and not blast them, we stop at all stop signs and turns to wait for slower riders and most of all ride your own ride.
Anyhow everything seemed cool and the new guys seemed to be ok said they had been riding for a while and the one was on a Kawi 03 Z1000 I believe (naked style bike) and said he used to race 250cc class(dirt bike I assume anyhow) we started out I took lead and he jumped in behind me. We get going down the first road with some decent twisties and he seemed to be doing fine at first at least I though from my mirror view. I slowed and waited for him to catch up a few times as I knew he said he had just pcs'd in from Tx like last week so he was new to area and didn't know the roads. Coming to end of first road/run whichever you want to call it nice little warm-up there are a few good sweepers you can boogy pretty good around I seen him back there going into to them and after them you come to stop sign(maybe 1-1 1/2 miles total) I pull to stop sign look back noone there! I waited like 5 seconds and still didn't see him so it was like ok turn around he evidentally went down or something. Spin around go back 1/2 mile and there he is getting up out of ditch while probably 5-6 people from surrounding houses are coming over to check out situation. Anyhow he looked to be ok, bike didn't fair so well,mangled tank, fairings it did have were trashed,forks tweaked pretty good. Got it up out of ditch and we did get it to start up and run fine. By that time the popo had showed up(pretty quickly actually) and started with all the questions and reports, ended up being pretty cool, no citations, which state boys here cite for not controlling your vehicle I think it is. They left and just standing around talking and he still seemed fine, since really he luckily ended up only hitting dirt/ditch and never landed on the blacktop. He said a animal ran out in front of him and of course there was a big cover up explanation but it seemed clear to everyone else he came in to the corner hot,panicked, locked up rear brake and was ditch bound from there.
Ended up with a guy stopping and offered to put it in his truck, at first he declined and before the guy got away he changed his mind and we loaded it up and the p/u guy took him home. We proceeded on and actually had a nice day's ride except for some rain which if that is as bad as it gets I can deal with it, better than 115 heat index anyday.
So my point being I think there may be some sorta trance the sublime green puts new guys in that get behind me where they feel the need to keep up or something. My buddy said he's gonna start calling me the widow maker since in the last month in 2 group rides 2 guys have bit the dirt while trying to follow me. So is the green attracting squids trying to ride above their head? or do they think that a fat busa shouldn't be able to run a twisty faster than them? Grant it it was a guy on a GSXR1000 2 weeks before.
Maybe it's just that her tail is so sexy they find themselves staring and not paying attention. Sorta like when your out with the wife and that unbelievably hot girl walks by and you can't help but to look and the wife catches you.
except in this case the turns/ditches do.
