30 April: downhill scooter & bits and pieces

...
i was on mc duck's 400cc scooter... i must have been in a race or a scooter club day, there weremany other scooter on the road passing me by...
all i could remember was being at the back seat without a front seat rider! and the scooter was still going... and it had a special button at the front panel "G-max" - it was activated and bright, sort of like an autopilot... that was until i could glimpse the downhill section of the road, there was sudden panic...
"i gotta climb forward and stop this thing! (before i crash and i get told off)"
so i did, it was going really fast! the head wind was strong!
i managed to get to the front and sqeeze on the brakes just in time...
the scooter sverved to the left, onto the roadside... it nearly slammed into a mound of rocks on top of the hill...
i nearly had my breath taken away, not only because of the near accident, but moreover seeing the scene of the rock mound, with little desert plants shooting out amongst the loose rocks, and the picturisque valley view below - it was breathtaking!

** there were other bits and pieces... but i cannot remember **
