Procrastinating on the Edge: Part 2



Part 2: Mr. History's Story

After the ill-fated journey to the bar, Blogger's one pint of beer looked fantastically delicious, as he downed it with the gusto reserved for ill-advised procrastinating alcholic beverages.
Not being completely irresponsible, Blogger limited himself to just one, and left promptly at around 1:15 am.
It had started to rain earlier in the evening, and after weeks of beautiful dry weather, coupled with the accumulation of Springy pollen, every surface had a slick gleam to it. Blogger had seen Scooters slide out of control on slick surfaces before , but as he was new to rainy scootering, he had yet to experience the leverage point at which a Moto decides to lay down.
Cruising down the hill, Blogger decided to take a right at the last second, and just by thinking to himself "I will now turn right", the Scooter flipped over on its side and slid across the intersection with Blogger dancing on top of it. Luckily, Blogger is quite limber and escaped without major injury, other than the humiliation associated with any scooter related calamity. More importantly, he now knows how much it takes to lay down a scooter in the rain, and its not very much. Just look at how easy it was for this Fatso to face plant on perfectly dry pavement. Nice work Fatso.moto crash

Quite limber indeed. Glad the moto wasn't able to change that.

Hey David, which version are u going to tell the world? The one in which it was raining and you slid because of the water or you decided for the truth about you drunk coming back from that club?

Watch out George, or I might tell the world the real truth about getting in an accident on my way back from the Hospital, where I had to rush you after you stapled your nipples to the lamp in Pierre's room in a futile attempt to claim ownership. Again.
