Title: Four Monsters, a 996, a girl, a Matador, a SwampDuc, a Wasabi, a Ducaholic...
Post by: Porsche Monkey on July 06, 2009, 05:35:49 PM
And a platypus.


Met up with El Matador, Desmolu, and Swampduc out in the Texas hill country today.  Wasabi followed me out from San Antonio.  It was a great day for riding and a good time was had by all.  Ill let El Matador give the ride report in his storybook like fashion when he gets back in. 


Taking in the view.

Fastest platypus in the world, look out Rossi

PS, Dont ask El Matador about his chain or taillight.

Yeah they got a cabin instead of a tent. Still zip ties were put to good use. Also the legendary Ducaholic made an appearance.  ;D

The boxes of cowls in the back are still the best part. This is so full of win.

Yeah, I got to hear some of the EMO Espanol stuff during the wk. Even when you can't understand the lyrics, it sounds whiny  [cheeky]

I will, I swear!  ;D

And fastwin, the 996 is sweetness. In the highest order. Matador caught me patting the fairing after some twisties on more than one occasion.

The platypus' record is intact - no crashes with him on board!

I think Emo is defined by having your top 25 songs made up entirely of Ryan Adams  [roll]    [cheeky]

How do you loosen an over-tightened chain?

According to an engineer and a a master porsche mechanic:

you bang the shit out of the rear tire against a wall

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_6Gj9mr-29Fg/SlezCW-BJGI/AAAAAAAADFM/0Fi5lBPOgDA/s576/IMG_0069.JPG)

the reason i dont smile in pics is because I look like a douche when I do

BTW, my 996 snapped its kickstand the other day and fell over - I blame the ghost of Lu's bike - it was vengeance for Matador and I making fun of it  :'(
