Is it a bird? Is it a plain???

Nope, it just IB doing his supperman impression,  again.

Thats right foke I did it again.  I came off my motorbike in style.  This is what happened.

I was driving home from work and in true Northern Ireland style it had been raining from about mid day ( I said driving,  it was more like aqua plaining with skill).  So I was crusing along a 1/2 mile streaight only doing 45-50 mph in a 60 zone, mostly due to the weather but also I was a bit consurned about the trye pressing in my font tyre.  So I’m cursing alone aobut 20 feet (maybe more) behind a Honda 4×4 and happy with the way things are going.  Then I see breaks light of the honda come on.  by this stage he was was the end of the straight and I thought that some in front of him had paniced when they came to a connor  and I start to apply my breaks, as you do.

That when things strated to a wrong, badly wrong.  Remeber I’ve been riding from about 2004 and it always raining in Nothern Ireland so this shouldn’t be a problem right??  WRONG.  As I start to break I feel the bike slide, now I’m think S*&t I might hit this car in front (bering in mind that 20 feet in the wet will close down pritty quick when you’r sliding). Nope that not going to happen,  about this time I can fell the back end start to come round, now Im thinking oh f%^$. I know at this stage I should have let off the breaks, grabed the cluck and started to apply the breaks agian slowly, but I panic, I didn’t any of this because all I could see in my mind was that I was going to go into the back of the honda, not about 15 feet away and I appeared to be stopped. 

The back wheel keeps comming round and now I can feel the front start to turn as well, at this stage I knew i was off.  next thing I know I’m hitting the ground and my head is rolling arround in my helmet, all I can hear is the gravel hitting the out side of my helmet , after about 5 second I’m motionless and the world has stoped spinning, I know I’m not dead as I’m still breathing and sound is comming in thought the helmet.

Next thing the guy from the Honda and the girl from the car behind is comming over check if im ok.  Which I must admit is very nice of them.  They wouldn’t let me get up at first incase I had a back injury, which luckly I didn’t have, I knew this as I could wiggle my toes.  I then took the helmet off, I know it was the wrong thing to do but it was the only way I could answer the man from the honda’s questions. He asked my if i need an ambulance and said no, as I didn’t see the point in wasting the ambulances time.

I called everyone to let them know what happen, so in the 15 -20 minute it took my dad to get to me the man stayed to make sure I was ok, which I was glad of.  I also took a look at the bike.  I could list whats wrong with it, but it’s short to list what right.

The bike engine runs, the break leaver and cluch leaver are in tacted, wells are good and the fame is sould.  Appart form that it totally f*&$ed.

And to top it off I have to use a car for the foreseeabel.  At least I’m getting at a supperman impression, but I still need to work on the landing.

Death Of Micheal Jackson

Incase you’ve been in a different universe for the last 3 weeks or so, some of you might have noticed that Micheal jackson is dead. 

It a shame he is dead as he made some really good music, no matter what you thought of his personell life.  Did he do it ? didn’t he do it?  We will never know, and to be honest I dont really care.

For about 15 years now I’ve not listent to any of his music, reasons (1) during my teens I did want to listen to any of his stuff as it was seen as childish and I was growing out to be a man, (2) after years on not listening to his music I forgot about it.

So I was round at my fokes having dinner the other night and my brother was there with a copy of the BAD album.  When he told me it was his I said “I’ll be having that thank you very much”  So I’ve been listen to it agian and again and again as I drive the to work in the car (I broke my bike agian).  And it true, MJ really did make some of the best pop songs around.

As it had been about 15+ years since I had last heard the album I got a supprize Not only did it have Dirty Diana (this has some of the best guitar work for it time) it also have smoth criminal, that has one of the coolest videos.

Any way no to the bit that really fucking my off.  Yes he was without a doubt one of the best musicans of our life time, yes his later years where surrounded in contravesory.

BUT FOR GOD SAKE LET ME REST IN PEACE.  The worst thing about his death is that it going to turn into an other Princess Diana.  Where 10 years after her death people are still going  about how it effected them.
