I am back riding my CBR1100 XX now my collar bone has healed and loving it. It handles so sweetly and the power and acceleration is awesome. Tonight I sat at a set of lights behind a Holden Commodore SS Ute and a Toyota Supra - they took off together and I just whipped round the front of the Supra (which was losing and flashed past the Ute like it was standing still - and I started behind them and I was still in first gear! - I think I've seen 100km/h (or more) as I change into 2nd gear.
I am also popping more nice power wheelstands as I figure out how to find the sweet spot on take off. Most of them are only a few inches off the ground, but I've also figured out how to lift the front right up. Wind smoothly to 4000 RPM and then back the gas off hard and quickly wind it on again. Depending on how much nose dive you got from the back off will assist the front to lift up. This is a useful technique when taking off over speed bumps in a car park. Successfully did it at church the other day! I could talk all day about what this bike can do. The Super Blackbird sure is super!
Indoor soccer tonight was great. I played as a keeper for an A grade Game - we won 8-7. It was very tight and all the goals they scored against me were far post or cross court passes that the defence wasn't able to cut off. It was great to win that game.
Following that it was straight on to another court for my team Parklife. We also romped away with an 8-4 win. I only let in 2 in the first half and I played out in the field in the second half scoring a nice goal with a 1 touch half volley from a cross court pass from Mike. (I also missed 3 or 4 easy ones!)
Tomorrow (today now) is Jadeen's birthday party. It is gonna be a lot of fun. Jude has done a fantastic job getting the house ready and the party supplies - it is gonna be a blast!
Doug and I have been busy speculating on BlogShares. Its a lot of fun. I have already made over $B 8 million!
