Easy Rider

[Theotaz]

Svalina looked at Theotaz with very big eyes. 'Theo are you sure..I thought you were going to sell this one! You bought me this robe which was NOT cheap and now your giving me this this "..Theotaz interupted gently "shuush girl..Aint no one gonsa belive I be mak'n dis unless dey be see'n one' I ain't gonsa make a whole lotta money sell'n dem outside de guild so, it be best if I be mak'n dem for de guildies.'. SVa shook her platinim tresses wildly 'Its just not right' Theo put a finger to her ruby red lips 'Dat be my decision to be mak'n.. right..wrong.. It's ma mechano hog to do wid what I like. And what I like is to be giv'n it to you for to be tak'n out on de road. SPeak'n of which I gots a favor to be ask'n ya.' Svalina swallowed visibly '..of..of course. Anything, just tell me what you wish' Theotaz smile expansivly. 'I want ya to go find our good friend parted hair and give him a ride...who knows maybe he can help you get dat dress outta AQ you been lust'n for all dis time. And just maybe dis bike it make up for all dem failed trys to be gett'n a Zul'jin tiger. Now off wid ya, I got tings to be do'n'nn Moments later Svalina was astride the great mechanical marvel after a quick lesson on the controls from Theo. SHe reached down and open the petcock from the phisogen tank. switched on both magneto's, and pumped the priming lever 3 times. She took a deep breath switched the ignition on and stood up on the pegs with one heel on the kick started. Giving a hop she brought her wieght down on the starter . A small bit of resistance and a clickty whiring sond was all she heard befor the bike's engine thundered to life with a rasping snarl of sound. She carfully advanced the spark and choke untill the engine settled into and even rumble. It was ready. She checked her self in the rear view mirror and couldn't help but notice that she was wearing a very large silly grin on her face.. Very undignified for a shadow priestess. SHe composed her self and then gave the throttle an experimental twist. The engine coughed and roared a deeper note of power. Nope. There was no holding the grin back. Deciding that vanity was fighting a loosing battle to fun, she dropped her goggles down into place, put the kick stand up, and slipped the clutch. The mechanohogs front wheel lifted off the ground as the bike shot forward scattering citizens and animals left and right, shooting down the steets of Dalaran. AIming the great mechanacal construction at the portal for Thunder Bluff she shot through to the pools of vision under Elder rise. a quick bit of manuvering got her through the pools likely as not startling the many casters contemplating thier collective navels (those that had navels) before shooting into the clear air outside the caves.nn Within moments she had crossed one of the many bridges and was circling the pool on the main rise looking for Bluff Watcher Parted Hair. She spotted him finally jumping up and down at the sight of the mechno hog. As she pulled up in front of him his eyes got very wide. She said nothing. Reching down she deployed the side car, pointed at Parted hair, and pointed at the side car. "PARTED, ITS SVALINA, GET IN!" Parted hands went over his mouth for a moment.. he pointed to himself, and pointed to the side car with a questioning look. Svalina reached into a side pannier and pulled out a spare set of riding goggles and held them out to Parted Hair. nn The big tauren shaman took the googles and slipped them on and then with utter care and grace gently lowered his large frame into the side car. Sva looked over at the big tauren, grinned, and gunned the throttle. The big bike lifted its frond end off the ground and shot forward with a tremendous burst of speed. Parted took a white hooved grip on the coming of the side car as she cut a quick dozen or so curcuits about the main rise scattering guards, shop keepers and thier patrons in her wake. The big bike worked it mechanical magic within moments as Parted whooped for joy and started making cho-cho sounds. He was ready!nn She turned the big bike towards the elevators, and motored onto the next lift going down. Just before the lift reached bottom she opened the throttle wide. The Hog shot off the lift in a cloud of exaust and tire smoke to drop with a solid thump to the approch planks. Tristing the handle bars she made a sharp turn to the right lifting the side car, parted and all, off the ground to thunder down the main road out of thunder bluff. As the side car came down she glanced over to check Parted. The big tauren was obviously in no distress and was eaqually obviously enjoying the ride. The golden plains lay ahead, and after that the barrens. She opened the throttle as far as it would go. With a prodigious rumble of power the big bike shot down the road at its maximum velocity.nn As the left Mulgore and entered the Barrens night decended. Svalina switched on the lamps. Not because they provided any real illumination of the road ahead, but to provide some warning for anything in front of them to get out of the way. The leagues went by fast as the mechano hog thundered down the southern gold road. She slowed for the lift down into thousand needles only to discover the throttle wouldn't realease. Cursing she grabbed a mallet and banged away on the throttle body untill it released. Parted Hair gave her a raised brow noting that that qualified as "a close one" nn WIthin moments they were down the lift and rumbling through the deepening shadows of thousand needles. The roar of the bike echoed off the stone ramparts around them. nShe would glance over to Parted hair but he was obviously utterly enraptured with the entire experience. As the rumbled onto the salt flats Sva grinned to herself. The salt flats race track was ahead and from the noise there was a race on at the moment. The big bike dropped onto the track. Grabbing hard on the front brakes, she twisted the handle bar hard to one side and gunned the throttle. The bikes back end slid around in a cloud of dust and smoke. she released the brake and the big bike shot forward rapidly gaining on both Goblin and gnomish machines making thier curcuit of the track. The engine screamed its song of power as she passed both of the dedicated racing machines with a wide grin creasing both her and Parted Hairs face. Rounding that back turn toward the start finish line and clearly accerating and pulling ahead of the race contenders the bike rocketted towards the start/finish line. SHe could see the flag girl ahead vigorously waving a checkered flag. As they crossed the line her hand snaked out and snatched the flag and handed it to Parted Hair. She swucg hard off the track poping a wheelie as they roared through the vendor area. She risked a quick glance behind to see cheering going on in the stands. SHe stood on the throttle again and rejoined the road into Tanaris thundering up the cut into the mountains. nn One down the other side she noted that the fuel was getting a little low. Gadgetzan was just ahead. There would be fuel there. AFter a quick stop and a full tank they were on thier way again across the desert sands. Un-goro crater would be the next. The desert passed quickly in the rush of the big bikes passage. Quickly they dropped down into the crater and the verdent grass lands within. There was no road here but the floor of the crater was quite flat and they sped across it to the cut up into Sithus. There was one bad moment as they came around a clump of trees to tear under one of the giand rex raptors of Un-goro. The great beast bellowed and managed to score the back mud guards with its teeth before the out distanced it. Parted was whooping and holloring the entire way. AFter a bit they were up into Sithus propper and thundering through to the cenarian outpost where she planned to stop and get a bite to eat before returning.nn After about an hour Parted hair let her know he was ready to head back. They mounted up and hit the road. The trip back was a bit more sedate and controlled as she now had a much surer feel for the bike. They thundered into Orgrimaar where She pulled the bike into a sliding stop throwing up a cloud of dust in front of the Auction house. Parted sat for a moment as she shut off the bike before climbing out of the side car. he slid the dust covered goggles off his face and reluctantly handed them over. No words were needed. She reached down to where she had stashed the checkered flag from the race track and walked around the bike to where parted stood looking slightly forlorn with the end of the ride and thier little adventure. She handed the flag to Parted Hair. "Just a little memento" He carfully took the flag. a tear glistened at the corner of each of his eyes. She just shook her head and threw her arms around the big Tauren and hugged him firecly. "You are a freind of our house Parted Hair, and we love you a very great deal. Be safe. And if you ever want to have one of these of your own to take your sweetie on a road trip with you just let Theo know. He would be honored to make one for you."nSHe released the big Tauren and hopped onto the bike. "I goota go..see you soon. Next time we cruise the Eastern Kingdoms!" She started the bike. She was about to pull away when a big Tauren hand gently touched her shoulder. "Parted know you love Parted Hair. You great friend of Parted Hair. The-O-Taz Great mech-an-ick troll guy. Marted not forget this." nn Parted stepped around to the front of the Bike and held the checkered flag up high and nodded to her. She settled her goggles into place once more and started the big bike up with a thundering roar. the crowds of people on the street melted away to either side leaving a clear lane in front of her. Parted waved the flag back and forth in a circle with the other arm up beside it. He jumped up and waved the checkered flag with a great flurish and dropped it down level with the ground. When he did Sva released the break and jambed on full throttle. The front wheel came off the ground from the tourqe of the engine as the bike thundered away in a violent explosion of sound. Sva stood on the throttle for a couple blocks before slowing the bike down. Looking into her rear view mirror she saw Parted look at the flag in his hand, and then very carefully wrap it up and tuck it into his pack. He was happy, and that was all that mattered.nn(yes this really happened. a little artistic licence but the ride was real and Parted Hair the first to ride in the side car... happy times)
