<Big Grin> Bob....that was just a wonderfully descriptive paragraph on "It's a Guy Thing"...
While I can't quite even imagine me on a back hoe (dainty understatement...)...it did make me think: "of course, this is how I would do it if I ever get get on one...."
Of course, there are some around here that might say this is how I sometimes drive a car.....(tigerfeet-like tires pawing the pavement, ruhnnnn, ruhnnnnnnnn)...
Why is it if ladies do this, especially with a guys' car...guys simply don't seem to think it's very funny if we say "It's a girl thing...."
back up, turn the wheel just a bit to my right, stab the right brake, shift into forward, gun the throttle, straighten the wheel, stab the left brake, and in what appears to be one smooth motion, I've turned the machine 180 degrees. Quickly and with a lot less effort than it takes to put a car through the same maneuver. I call it a wheelie because an integral part of this is getting the front tires off the ground.
Well, it took me a while to get that maneuver down, and I worked *up* to it slowly. However, he saw it from outside the machine and had the same reaction I did when I first saw it. To wit, "Cool!!!". Wheelies are cool. It's a guy thing. |
