I would borrow a friend's Kawasaki, back in my younger days. I tried riding the bike around for a few months. Decided to not bother anymore. Dad thought it was cool. So, he bought himself a discount version of a Harley Davidson.
My old man was a bit of a speed junkie, ex racer etc. I spend a bit of my "youth" in quick street cars doing 12-13 sec quarter mile runs , on dirt bikes, speedway, racing etc (some legal, some not). A couple of horror crashes at high speed, lucky to be here really.
I would race down Musgrave Street in my old rustbucket, back in the 1990s. I was on my way home from work, and the drug dealers/car enthusiasts of the time would always race down the street from Elphinstone to High Street.
It came down to a matter of who could drag race their car the fastest. When I was 18 years old, I decided to race my co-worker to work, doing High Street to Elphinstone. That was back in the day when police were still doing manual radar. I got told to slow down a few times. But the police insisted that I was still going too fast for the 60 kmh zone.
Decided to do 50 kmh an hour from Elphinstone to my workplace. I worked on Little Musgrave Street near a tyre autoshop. Oh, alright... I worked at the bowling alley. Parked my car undercover many times. Many needles littered around the car park.
2022, I have yet to see many sharps, since they put in a set of cameras.
