In May I went out for dinner with my good friend Matt. We have been friends since we were nineteen and have been through many ups and downs. I had noted that the only thing he was feeling passionate about recently was a juicer and a blender he had recently bought.
He is straight, early thirties and single.
Being excited about making smoothies seemed a little wrong.
So I called in 'The Biker Boyz'. Two blokes I work with who are mad keen bikers, The Two Mikes. I persuaded Matt to meet up with them for a teeny weeny bitty drink and a maybe a chat. I mean, he didn't have to listen. Did he?
They met on 1st June at about 6pm. The Boyz entered the pub in full leathers and placed their helmets on the table. Quite an entrance. Nothing like two well built men in leathers. I pointed out to Matt the pulling ability that becoming a biker would bring him.
By 6.02pm he was wavering, by 6.15pm they were pouring over biking magazines, by 6.30pm he had caved in.
Today he came round to show me his brand new shiny bike. In the past two months he has gone from never having ridden before to having passed his test to ride 500cc bikes.
I have NEVER seen him so happy.
So am I a good friend or a bad influence??

Please. *batting eyelashes*
Who can resist those fluttering eyelashes. When you get over here I promise I will (but I might have to put a 'MINE' ticket on one of them)
Oooooo, which one? ;)
Still trying to decide ;)
Deal, as long as it's o nly oone of them. I need to have choices. Especially if you're going to make me come over there. ;)
You mean I can't put stickers on all of them?? I can find some more if you want??
Okay, you can sticker someof them...as long as I get an equal amount to choose from.
Geez, It's almost scary the trouble we could cause! LOL
You have to come and visit! If you add Julie, Vicky and Anna to the equation... blimey.
Ooo I think I'm going to have to save up for Atlanta... think of all that trouble *rubs hands with glee*
Biddy. You have just spawned a WHOLE NEW STORY IDEA GODDAMN YOU I HAVEN'T TIME FOR THIS.
Sigh. Too many books. Too few hours in the day.
Have I?? Ooo email me and tell me all about it!
Both.
I'd say both (thinking of Keith Urban and wine - ooh, and chocolte! :))
I resemble these remarks!!
I agree...You come to Atlanta...I'll come to London.
What am I saying? You have to come to Canada to make it equal!! LOL
I'll go wherever you want as long as I can drink, eat, and look at men in leather.
