unexpected side benefits of bike shape and look

I did the usual rant at the 4WD who "charged" at me facing a stop sign,
then finally stopped. I gestured at his number plate, indicating I had
his number.

But there was something wrong here. He was showing me unusual amounts
of respect. How could this be? He was even apologising.

Then the light went on.

My new Avanti Blade, with the little black bag on racks on the back
looks very similar to the bicycle police on their Konas. Whooo hooo, oh
boy, next time I'll reach into the back pocket, take out the pad and
start scribbling. Then I'll talk into the radio. There are endless
possibilities here....
 
....or maybe he made a mistake and was careless in not seeing you ?? -
just a possibility.

regards

a cyclist who also drives a landcruiser!

Normal day's behaviour, like the moron earlier this arvo in a beat-up
utility who gave me the finger whilst violating MY right of way at the
local death-trap, AKA roundabout. Discussed it with a non-motorised
friend of mine re. the well known inverse co-relation between vehicle
and penis sizes and she fully agreed with me.
 
Yup. As in the call to "ban utes", when we all know that the drivers of
utes could be on a pogo stick and they would still be killing people.

Someone that lived next door to a brothel once noted that sports utes
were the most common type of car to be seen at the brothel.

Years ago I lived next to a brothel in Wakefield St, Adelaide - very
wide street. Semi-trailers would be parked in the middle of the road
with the engine running, middle of the night.

A moustache was the common factor according to a colleague who lived
next to a brothel in Edinburgh. So if you see a moustache wearing ute
driver, you know where he's heading.

I was once involved in checking how well the business affairs of a number of brothels were being run (as well as checking other types of businesses). I've gotta say the women running those establishments were about 500% better at running a business than most small business owners in Australia.

I don't think my "Tradie Special", 4 cylinder, 2WD Ford Courier is in that
class of ute.

Mmmmm, great generalisation.

Theo

Unless you have a very loose definition of 'sports ute'...

Ah, but a beard cancels out the effect of a moustache. A moustache
implies that the wearer mistakenly thinks that it looks good enough to
shave the rest of his face but leave the hairy caterpillar dangling
under his nose. A full beard implies the wearer can't be arsed shaving
at all. You don't want to know what one of those wee goatees mean, or
even worse - a "soul patch"!

Now, is there anyone I've left uninsulted? ;-)

Exactly. Think of all the time I've saved over the decades from not
shaving every morning, afternoon, etc.

Also has the side benefit of finding good women {:).

This reminds me of a cyclist I saw once (in the USA) who was wearing a
black t-shirt with yellow text saying:

I support the
POLICE

Being the first line in a tiny size while the second line being quite
big in size. I thought it was a clever idea!

Ahhhhh, but if you have a beard, ute and a moustache surely you also
have long walk socks and a recumbent..... ;-)
