Help me. I have an addiction.

[hertsbiker]

This is serious.

I am addicted to speed.

I cannot stop myself giving it the big one wherever I think I can get away with it.

I have spent £400 on "security", and if this was to be banned, I would still use it.

I don't speed in such a way that I ever cause accidents.

But I do speed all the time. I need it. If I didn't speed, I might start a fight in pub, or shop lift. Or something even worse.


My name is: Joe Public.


I need a chance to let off steam. I have a stressful job, and a demanding lifestyle.

If I can't speed, what will I do for thrills?????



Think! and let us know.

I tried that but had trouble selecting 5th at 110mph!!!

[DennisTheMenace]

Have you tried knitting on a bike ? its one thing to keep your knitting bag on the back seat and holding the needles in gloves is a right pain

Mrs Thumb and her four lovely daughters??

I find it makes me more relaxed on a long journey.

Nottingham to Manchester, I can normally knit a nice pair of thermal y-fronts.

[DennisTheMenace]

Ive knitted a helmet (crash) warmer for when its cold , got quie a few drop stitches though


BTW i do not knitt and wouldnt force this past time on any one

Unfortunately, youre in the same boat as myself.
I too am addicted to the spooling up of ceramic turbos, the acceleration, the scenery flashing past,...i get a big fat grin whenever i go blatting down my favourite stretches of road at indecently high speeds, landscape warping into the distance, totally focused i am.
If i didnt, id be another druggy deadbeat, snatching purses and being generally obnoxious. Mind you, some say i already am, obnoxious that is.....anyway, i digress..its an addiction that frankly i dont want to be cured of.
Its the only thing i know that makes me feel free of all the shite that life deals me, im not about to give up my only pleasure just cos some lentil cruncher thinks im a "bad person".
Bollocks to the lot of em i say!
Try playing Billy Idol and "speed" at full volume while hammering it down a good stretch of tarmac....ya cant beat it!

[hertsbiker]

May I suggest you get the soundtrack to "Road Rash" on the mk1 Playstation... the most influential music ever.

Ok, I am Joe public, and I need help. Is that easy to understand, and no sarky comments please!

[deltaf]

Man classic game that! Specially the bit where ya grab the plods stick and beat the kak outa him and he falls off his bike, usually getting run over in the process.
Absolutley wet my pants when i first did that...fell off the dam bike meself i was hooting so much!
Superb laff that.

I agree with everything but this bit. It HAS to be Grand Theft Audio - Good As It Gets.

Thats all well and good but its a walk in the park compared to jumping out airplanes.

I could only afford one jump before funds ran out but it was fantastic.
I WILL be going back to qualify as a full freefall skydiver. Just as soon as I get some cash.

As a bonus its also statistically safer than motorbiking. I still want a bike as well though.

Ive always wondered about doing that andy, but i dont think itd be good for me....
Thered be no worries about identifying me from the ground as i plunged groundwards, id be the only one leaving a vapour trail....

Why not take up a martial art. Once your knackered you'll want to cruise home.

[tallchris99]

Wait untill the inevitable crash and mull it over when your legs are full of metal. This worked for me for all of six months and then my right hand started giving it large again.....

PS I sincerley hope you never ever have a crash eh...

[deltaf]

Well thanx for the sincere hopes Chris, i hope i dont either!
Ill do my very best to avoid anything of that nature, although sometimes, it just happens... thats life!
