Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (from the US), real men woke up one morning, looked out the window and thought to themselves: "what a fucking nice day for a ride". Real men are inclined to do that when they have an R1 in the garage (next to the R6).
Alas, the day was a Sunday, but real men aren't put off by simple facts like that. To the hills they went, in search of "the favourite road".
Up in the hills, real men noticed that there were an unusual number of Subaru WRX cages, all getting in the way. Real me shrugged to themselves and thought: "What the ****!?" before blowing them away.
After 4 runs back and forward along their favourite road, real men decided it was time to head for home. They promised themselves they'd try to adjust back to legal limits, just in case Mr Police Man was in the area. It was a Sunday, after all.
Back to a 60 km/hr limit. Gosh, that's slow, real men thought. As the limit changed to 80 km/hr real men were closer to the limit, thinking to themselves that they'd better slow down a bit more. Just as these thoughts were racing through real men's brains, one noticed a box mounted externally on the B-pillar of one of the (many) Subaru WRX cages going the other way.
Real men aren't dumb. They recognise a reverse radar when they see one. "FUUUUUUCK" thought real men, glancing down at the speedo, only to see too many numbers. "Jeeeesus, why does this bike have to go so fast", muttered real men to themselves.
Peering into the rear vision mirrors, real men saw the unmarked police car pull to the side of the road. At this point, real men decided that they didn't want to be in the area no more and it was time to get the **** out of there. After all, what proof was there that real men had seen the unmarked police car. All WRX's have anonymous boxes on the outside, don't they?
A twist of the right wrist had real men back up to a nice speed. Real men checked the mirrors. No sign of Mr Plod. "Yeee-haaaah!" thought real men.
A few corners later, real men sensed that they had got away. "Phew", they thought as they came up behind a white 4WD. Approaching the crest of a hill, with no-over-taking lines, real men decided that it would be safest to sit behind the 4WD until it was safe to pass. Real men don't need to kill themselves. After all, the 4WD and real men were coming up to an intersection, the other side of which lay freedom. Real men like freedom.
Just as real men were savouring the taste of freedom, they noticed some sign written letters on the back of the 4WD. The letters spelt the word: P - O - L - I - C - E. "FUUUUUUCK" thought real men, counselling themselves to stay calm. The 4WD was a local police vehicle whereas the WRX would be a TOG (Transport Operations Group = Nasty Mother Fucker) vehicle.
At the intersection, with freedom just metres away, the 4WD had to give way to vehicles on the highway they were crossing. As the 4WD moved clear, real men breathed a sigh of relief as they saw clear road ahead of them. One more check of the mirrors. Why the **** did real men do that? The road ahead was clear. A twist of the wrist and real men would have been gone.
In the mirrors, real men saw the WRX, lights blazing if three colours, racing up behind. As real men started to pull away, Mr Police Man added a few blips of the siren, just in case real men hadn't seen him (again).
At this point, real men decided it was time to pull over and face the consequences. Mr Police Man was not a happy guy. He asked real men if they'd seen him. "No", they lied. Mr Police Man said that real men must have been moving because he'd had to work pretty hard to catch up. Real men thought to themselves: "What sort of bike do you think I am riding fuckwit?"
Mr Police Man said he'd seen real men doing 110 km/hr on an 80 km/hr zone. Real men gave him a blank look and thought to themselves: "is that all?" Mr Police Man said he thought real men had slowed down when they saw him. Real men denied that. Real men aren't stupid.
Mr Police Man explained that he'd subtract 3 km/hr as usual, so real men wouldn't lose their licence. Real men nodded, not knowing what else to do.
Mr Police Man then proceeded to explain that the police were not issuing tickets due to industrial action by the police union (who wanted to be paid more). The little boy inside real men was jumping for joy as Mr Police Man explained that real men
might receive a summons in the mail. "Yeah right" thought real men.
When real men got home, they realised that their favourite road was adjacent to the forests where the "Rally of Melbourne" was being held. Of course there were lots of WRXs there.
But real men nevered received a summons in the mail and their licenses survived to fight another day. :thumbup
