Like to see pictures of ground-swooping Geese... Any keen scrapers out there?!

Go Breva go!
Had a retired motorcycle cop, then safety educator, come talk to the club I was in, last century sometime.
Told us how they all used to race back to the cop shop in the early hours, at the end of a night shift, terrorising the local milko's horse which bolted up the road.
Then proclaimed that "you haven't lived until you've scraped at 80" (mph that is.....that's how long ago it was).
Interesting "safety" talk.
But he was right, hey? :D
Of course I'm too old and sensible for any of that now. HA!
(Well, just the occasional "scritch-scritch" on my favourite corners.....but that doesn't count, does it?)

Its all aggregated on the angle, the pucker-factor, facial expression and road quality.... It is a complex equation that requires a beer and a really big screen to view the images....

Ya get lots of points in NSW on a holiday weekend, they even send you the picture, but I don't think I want them to send me anymore.
On the back wheel, at 180kph , ya earn a full 12 points, how cool is that.
But they charge ya $1000 for the bloody picture, f#ck, I can hire a professional photographer for heaps less than that & I bet the photo wouldn't be all grainy & have little red numbers written all over it.

P.S Masto was sitting quietly at work on the last Thursday in Sept., that definitely wasn't Masto & I going along the Bruce Highway on the back wheel swerving in & out of traffic exceeding the 110kph speed limit.
Just for once I am innocent, actually I'm always innocent officer, that bike that looks exactly like mine flew past me few seconds ago, if you go real fast ya can probably catch up to him.

Na Swagzz,
It actually wasn't me this time, I heard it mentioned on the radio & thought that everybody would think it was me.
The ones on the M1 to the Gold Coast that you hear about from time to time, but I've even stopped that now.
I need to get rid of Masto & buy a little Guz for commuting, then I won't be tempted as badly.
