Welcome baack (sic) brat!

A motorcycling mate of mine spoilt someones arvo recently.

This is a selected portion of an email I got from him ...

I was driving home from (snip) yesterday and was just south of (snip)
on the back road to (snip). I'd stopped in the shade on the
side of a long straight stretch to have a leak, make a coffee from the thermos
etc.

A bike approached from the south with rather more than great enthusiasm -
he was giving it heaps. He was winding it out in the gears and coming fast
enough that I briefly wondered if I should get behind the car just in case
he lost control. It sounded great! But then he slowed right down before he
got to me, which really was an anti-climax. Turned out he was on a V-rod.
I waved.

Then wondered why the piker had slowed down. After all, there was just a
bloke standing on the side of the road next to his car, wearing a light blue
shirt and dark coloured trousers. Oh.
