Howdy y'all! Today is a sunny Sunday in Manchester (4 days of Sun in a row so far?? No Way Dude! lol) | |||||||||||
and I'm bored - really bored! I see Suf is doing his thing on his varied and very interesting travels again, lots | |||||||||||
of really good contributers to the site of late, including the Revenge Circles All Knowing Famous PsychedelicBabe | |||||||||||
who continues to beat me on Revenge and has the uncanny knack of knowing that she's racin' me when I have | |||||||||||
a new tag no-one knows about. WTF's that all about Psyche? | |||||||||||
I race a lot of French and German rooms in Revenge these days - they are fun but very aggressive so it helps you | |||||||||||
become more of a fighter rather than racin' clean all the time; and despite being able to race these rooms | |||||||||||
very well and win and sometimes have gasps of amazement from their mics as I pass them, I still struggle | |||||||||||
against PsychedelicBabe! Still, one day I will meet you when you least expect it and surprise you | |||||||||||
by matching your skills! And you're right to trust me Psych :op | |||||||||||
SO! Motorcycles are now skimming the waves in Paradise?! Who honestly thought that was coming? | |||||||||||
Of course I've seen a lot of mixed reactions and I'm stuck in a grey area for buying Paradise again - I don't know tho, | |||||||||||
I may surprise myself and want it today….. I've some time off. The only friends on my list who play Paradise are | |||||||||||
Burnoutaholics so it's another thing to take into consideration? Most of my Revenge friends don't | |||||||||||
really dig it in Paradise. | |||||||||||
Anyways I was here to Motorcycle Blog not ramble on hehehehe Norway To Norway! | |||||||||||
I mix with real Bikers almost 24/7 - it's never monotonous, I'm surprised daily by these people and the Bikes they ride. | |||||||||||
Two weeks ago I had a customer from Norway find our Motorcycle Dealership on his sat nav when he | |||||||||||
realised he was in desperate need of some tyres on his long Journey - I apologise if this comes | |||||||||||
across as a "Day In The Life Of Me" lol - Luck had it that I carried a set for his Triumph | |||||||||||
Bonneville with just 20 miles on them (a friend didn’t get on with this particular brand and had simply let me have | |||||||||||
them whilst he switched) and this guy was made up when I let him have them for less than 2 3rd's the new price. | |||||||||||
Money for our Christmas Party (which was stolen alongside another £600 not soon thereafter - not all Bikers are Cool. | |||||||||||
This is one of the things I love about Biking and Bikers: I had no way of knowing at this time that this was to be the luckiest | |||||||||||
stage of this guy's Journey - I didn’t even realise what kind of Journey he had undertaken. It's virtually impossible to | |||||||||||
find a dealer for your Motorcycle and just waltz in and get perfect service there and then with no advance appointment! Try it! | |||||||||||
My service department also didn’t wanna help Tor when he arrived at short notice but I bent them to my will and it's fantastic | |||||||||||
that I did because a week later my boss received an e-mail from Tor with huge gratitude and a link to his Blog for his Journey. | |||||||||||
It was called Taking Her Home and we played a massive part in this but I wont give the link as my work place is on there | |||||||||||
with pictures - probably a bad idea but I do wish you could see it - any of my friends want the link just ask if you're curious! | |||||||||||
Yeah Tor journeyed from Norway - Ferry over to Scotland and down through England into France - Bit of Germany and Switzerland | |||||||||||
I think then back into Norway havin' a good time all the way! Slightly amazing I was a bit part | |||||||||||
participant but that's what life's all about isnt it? | |||||||||||
A Man's Resolve….. | |||||||||||
Another customer story so skip if you like - if your still with me of course lol Few years back guy called Pete buys a Triumph from us | |||||||||||
and we don’t see much of him afterwards but he's a cool guy who likes to dress slightly Indian so I'm guessing he's | |||||||||||
travelled quite a bit too - out of the blue he's back on the phone to me 2 years back ordering silly | |||||||||||
little nuts and bolts and fixture brackets for his cowls - and that's majorly boring but I treat him well and get on with things | |||||||||||
and I'm noticing he always sends somebody else to collect his parts or he has them posted to him…… so I'm guessing he's | |||||||||||
a busy man! Couple of month back from now Pete calls in - on crutches walking very carefully. "You a'right Pete? Not Binned your | |||||||||||
Truimph have you mate"? Understatement if ever there was one. | |||||||||||
He tells me he was riding along, 'bout 60mph in a 40mph (bit naughty) and he either sneezes or is blinded by the sun momentarily, | |||||||||||
the car in front had come to a bit of a grindin' halt and he was seconds away from colliding with it so he threw his bike to the right, | |||||||||||
glancing blow off the right rear of this car and he's sent directly into oncoming traffic at some speed - into a head on with another | |||||||||||
car…. Smashed over the bonnet and once prone on the road a large van runs over his midrift - both front and rear wheels. | |||||||||||
What a nightmare - it happened in seconds - how is this man alive? | |||||||||||
I've never asked anyone if it's possible to mend a broken spine but if his words are true then it simply must be. Now Pete can't feel his | |||||||||||
feet anymore - he WAS walking very carefully indeed with two crutches but what determination from a person! All he wanted to do | |||||||||||
was to recover and ride again and thus nuts and bolts and fixtures off me yet he never once mentioned what had happened to him | |||||||||||
until he saw me face to face - I couldn't believe it - his story, his recovery, his resolve to repair and modify the same | |||||||||||
bike he smashed himself to bits on. All the controls you use with your feet have been moved to his handlebars where all the | |||||||||||
rest of the controls are, amazing I think. Humbled in your presence dude I was! | |||||||||||
Just another little story of another Man's Journey - I hope someone who plays Paradise has the patience to read my borin' stuff | |||||||||||
because even though everyone is of course aware of how dangerous and how vulnerable you are riding a Motocycle, and that | |||||||||||
reality isnt the same as the Paradise Bikes that don’t crash; one man's journey is another man's | |||||||||||
nightmare and YET there is happiness and a huge sense of belonging to something when you actually ride in real life and that it's | |||||||||||
not all doom and gloom like the dark side of it I sometimes rattle on about in here! | |||||||||||
No Clue Where This Is Goin…… | |||||||||||
It's been good for me to have found and have been welcomed into this Burnout related website and community. | |||||||||||
I always have a good time on Burnout Revenge, I understand another man's meat is another's poison and so I try not | |||||||||||
to judge Paradise too harshly - my; if that was only the truth! The blogging is cool as is the | |||||||||||
atmosphere in here and all the participants in our Love Of All Things Burnout - is Dominator anygood anyone??! | |||||||||||
I said before that I don't have a clue what I'm doing Motorcycling Blogging - I don't - it could have started like K could be a nice | |||||||||||
letter for you to give insights into KTM and their history as a Motorcycle Manufacturer and the future for them and current | |||||||||||
day standing in sales divisions (very good) etc but really anyone can go their website anytime and find that info - so this is | |||||||||||
a far more personal way of Bogging I guess. I'm glad I didn't go with KTM and gave info on the Motorcycle Test and | |||||||||||
recommended starter Bikes instead (again bloody spur of the moment) as that Blog has 3600 reads and counting | |||||||||||
I noticed the other day….. WTF. Tho it's nice people are interested in that type of thing of course! | |||||||||||
Or I could go with particular accessories for Bikes like erm G is for Gel Seats - who knows. It's all possible in here | |||||||||||
and so long as you keep your cursing to a funny medium and don't give other people major grief you are free | |||||||||||
to blog to your little hearts content about whatever you want. And damn it - I want to swear backwards like | |||||||||||
Suffer does lol | |||||||||||
Now To Say Goodbye. | |||||||||||
No This isn't about me it's about The Departed, the recovering Burnoutaholic, my old Buddy BootlegGiant! | |||||||||||
What can I say, I think it sent us both a bit insane racin' each other as much as we have and I'm sorry to see | |||||||||||
you go Boot - if Halo is your thing and you enjoy it as much as you do then Power to ya man - I'll also say | |||||||||||
goodbye in the xbox forums in my own way but not yet and I won't do it in a yttihs way (Cheers Suf) ;-) | |||||||||||
The Dark Side Of Revenge - if there is such a place - is mega cool dude lolol Look at One Incognito and his first page Blog, | |||||||||||
he taught me more than he knows and not just about Burnout. Yet he's up there with the best now but we don't race often | |||||||||||
these days. Anyway Boot I just wanted to say Thanks for all the Races, all the takedowns, all the drunken moments of foolery | |||||||||||
and yeah you deserve to be recognised as one of the best Racers I've Raced - and a good mate so I'm gonna give you what for, for | |||||||||||
leaving the scene and leaving me to concentrate on Revenge now I don't have your Madness drowning out the sound of my | |||||||||||
Revenge Racer lolol | |||||||||||
OK thanks for reading if ya did - more thought into the next one and more Motorcycle related stuff I think - still unsure if | |||||||||||
the Paradise Bikes will be fun enough to ride - any longevity of it or anything and whether they would contribute to another | |||||||||||
Bike Blog. Dunno - maybe it will? | |||||||||||

Nice read, again...
But what happened to your formating, lol, as you guys must know my interviews when they do get posted, Zon/Xan, are edited after i send them it, so it's professional like, lol.
I like your bike stuff and if it's linked to stuff should not be too much of a hassle, but send me the link via pm i'm interested. And i know how that guy feels, i know it seems odd but if i stub my toes, did that the other day all of them at the same time and i feel it, i'm happy, as it means i can feel my feet, which does not happen often, and i stub my toes a lot and don't realize till i see the blood trail, and i'm more worried about the mess, and cleaning it up, lol. But that guy has some sllab, and does ytihs have two t's or not, lol.
Anyway (I'm really sorry this is really a bad word now) keep up the writting when you got the time, it is interesting, but the formating needs sorting I kept reading the same sentence's over again, but that could be my dyslexia, lol.
And Boot will be back one day to kick ass for a few hours just to say he can, but it does prove the point Revenge is getting old, and saddly, unless Criterion add some more tracks it will saddly fade as one of the best arcade racers on the 360!
But it will not be sunsetted for at least a year yet, maybe more if Pysc has any say, lol.
Damn, you do like Revenge though, to Race the Germans and the Italians, they don't muck about, I use to race 'em because they played the game the way it was supposed to be, nasty, dirty and to win and kill everyone along the way, though they can gang up on you if you kick their sessa to much, lol.
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

I know you too well i guess????
.....ichi i ALWAYS know who im racing.......especially you......lmfao......i dont know how i know its you but i just do.....ive had this debate with sooooo many people on how i always seem to know who is who......i think its really funny because it reallys ticks people off at the fact that theyre trying to race undiscovered but with me its hard to hide......you see ichi you do the exact same thing that nito does whenever he changes his tag so its really easy to suss it out.....hahaha.....one day ichi you might just MIGHT beat me.....and whats all this about Boots leaving us..... ive only raced him once he cant leave now.......can he?........i suppose it will happen to us all soon........im actually developing a very close relationship with Forza2 at the moment and im loving it........but i dont think i could quit revenge completely it causes me too many withdrawal symptoms........anyway ichi hope to see you on the race track soon......oh btw i have a new tag........maybe ill bump into you somewhere along the way.......

You gave me a snail - sniffle.... lol
Maybe I deserve the Snail from You Psyche hahaha I said to a friend recently that Burnout is about Psyching the other racers out so they don't race like themselves. You don't have to speak, you have to SHOW them how you race but when I race you (I Nuckif Know it's you Too) I'm the one that's Psyched out - You put it in your tag purposefully!

Goat now.....?
You missed what I said - i'm talking of Psyching people out and as I can tell i'm racin' you when it's not you, as you do I, little chunks of info dance around your brain..... Like "Psyche's just Duckef me over again - I know it"
Hehehe S'all good and yeah you wanna race you gotta fight for then Race the French and the Germans - why on earth they let me stay is beyond me, I'm sooo Evil with these Racers, but the feedbacks always Kinda nice - they just play at a different level

B for B......
N might be for Norway but B is for Boring and boy that Post ichi is mega in the B department, I only read it as I was expecting a small mention, you could have told me it was at the end of it! and saved me some reading!,
Revenge has been a realy good game to me and to have lasted that long on any one game is pretty cool considering my attention span and like you ich I have met some realy good friends on it and if I can say in a none homo way It has been a honour to have been allowed to race with you for so long and to be able to call you a friend. i'm kinda gutted that we were compared to cannon and ball I would have prefferd the Brat Pack you know well maybe you dont a little bit before your time and mine I guess.
There are reasons why I stopped playing dude none of which I am prepared to reveal over a public forum, its nothing to do with your smelly feet dude.
and erm to Psychedelic Babe Wtf!! I have not stopped posting its just that there seems not to be a reason to do so, I have even brought a laptop so as I can post while playing games (17'' monitor) brilliant with films
right thats all homo's well apart from babe cos she cant be a Homo more of a mmmmmm

Half Of Cannon and Ball
Aledgedly One of 'em lived in a Mansion in the footholds of a valley where I grew up in Vegas (Figure that one out) We'd regularly raid his conker trees as kids and get chased by his Death Wolfhounds or maybe that was just a book I read sometime?
And the honor was mine Bootleg, always a damn pleasure and I never thought about your attention span or lack of but it works as an answer as to why..... until I get curious enough to ask you for the answer that counts
