Ha ha,
reminds me of when we were lighties on our mini RZ's.
Off to a party in Hout Bay. The party was in a hall elevated across the road from a garage. We were pretty tanked before we got there and that's when it went south. WE pulled in the petrol station to get some juice. There were a number of people outside the party hall that could see us.
As we are pulling out of the garage disaster one strikes. One of us hits the front brakes and hits some oil. Nice little face slide into the road. Crowd chears.
The rest of us on our bikes are tuning him, idiot, can't ride he he.
So we pull out, first out wheelies, woohoo, crowd likes it, second out wheelies, crowds appreciates this.
Now, at this point I should have just pulled out and left it there, but nooooo. I sense the crowd needs more. I pull out and attempt my wheelie. No I almost flip so I'm just trying to get control, not really focussing in front of me. Hence I do not see wheelier number 2 faffing with the reserve tap switch standing still in the middle of the road.
Hmm, suppose one should always focus in the direction you are going. At this point I am weaving all over the place on one wheel, not really in control at all. Yep, managed to put my sump into the back of the now stationery wheelier number two.
Crowd erupts whilst the two of us untangle our bikes whilst blaming each other for this rather entertaining collision.
Now we were of the train of thought in those days that remove all unnecessary extra bits on the bikes to make the lighter and faster bru. This always included the kick start. I mean push starting a 50 is not really an issue.
So there I go in my somewhat inebriated state trying to push start the poor little RZ, up and down and up and down.
****, I am almost in tears, Fook, I broke my bloody gearbox I tell you, tis not cricket (well not that polite).
Crowd is at this point in hysterics, I mean, who could have planned a comedy of errors like this.
At last my dear friend points something out to me, "your chains off you idiot"
Well needless to say we were the anti heroes that night, still think back to that event with a giggle at how youth is ignorance/bliss.
