I was catching up on stuff earlier when porl's comment about Ace flying over the armco struck a chord. So: (To the tune of "Over the Rainbow", to be sung by BGN whilst he clutches a small dog) One Ace, into the armco, flying high, There's a bike that I've heard of, lying on its side, One Ace, over the armco, black and blue, He tweaked Fate's le-eft nipple, And into the armco he flew One day he hit the brakes too hard, And woke up with a chopper far above him, With ribs and liver slightly foxed, Floating high on Entonox, That's where you'll find him One Ace, into the armco, missed a tree, Sweller flew over the armco, Why, oh why can't he? If happy little commies fly beyond the armco, Why, oh why can't hippies? -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer As featured in Performance Bikes WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Yamaha Vmax Honda ST1100 wiv trailer
I always had my suspicians about you being a FOD. Good work though. My effort is the Cowardly Lion song. Yeah, it's sad, that on a tight bend When you're launched over the front end With no time for reflection But I could show my skills And stay off the oxycodone pills If I had the back protection I'm afraid there's no denyin' I almost went a-flying off the twisty curve I'd be brave as a blizzard I'd be gentle as a lizard (Scarecrow) I'd be clever as a gizzard (Dorothy) If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve (Scarecrow) Then I'm sure to get a brain (Tin Man) A heart (Dorothy) A home (Ace) A protracted course of physical therapy.
On a Wizard of Oz theme, here's my offering, to the tune of "Follow the yellow brick road" Follow the curve in the road Follow the curve in the road Follow, follow, follow, follow Shit, SHIT, BRAKES BRAKES BRAKES.

I think the Scarecrow might have said something.... I could ride away the miles Face replete with smiles Riding near the lakes And my arse I'd be scratchin' And my tubes I'd be patchin' If I only had some brakes I'd ride over any gravel Or any judge's gavel For anybody's sake (ukrm) With the thought that you'd be stinkin' The pedal could be linkin' If you only had some brakes Oh I could tell you why The Armco's near the sky I could fly over something I never flewover before And then I'd sit and cuss some more I would carted off by heli My insides all like jelly To the hospy by the lakes I would get all the good wishes At least I'm not down with the fishes Wish I hadn't used the brakes
