We never really knew who had the fastest mini-bike in our neighborhood, but as my opinion, on any given day I'd whup them. Some of the older riders had gave me an inside tip on how to add unrestricted speed. I was sure this information was privilege, and only I knew of it because, I am that “Guy”. The assembly of the advised procedure was simple. While isolated I tested this theory, and was very impressed. I really didn’t have anyone to test my speed against, I measured my speed by how fast I reached or passed marks. I seemed to be smashing old standing records. This new speed was produced by replacing a spring with a wire, the professionals of mini-bike riding call it “tying the governers down”.

We called it “woofing”, when you told someone how you would dismantle them, and I did big woofing. I presented a challenge that you either accepted, or you acknowledge me as King of the territory. Of course none of the chumps knew “Royalty”, even if it was right in their faces.

For some ridiculous reason everybody with a min-bike, in our area, had enough nerve to accept my challenge. Most riders brought their crews along with them. I was a lone wolf, I didn’t need help. One of my biggest competitors had his sister in his crew, I don’t believe he knew it, but she made me weak. Just as I had envisioned, when the races began, I took control. There were several heats, and I won them handily. The hierarchy was unquestionably established.

While races for lesser position were going on I thought to approach my most capable opponent’s sister. She was receptive to my advances. I swayed her into taking a few victory laps with me. What’s sad is during this long competition to be the King, I had forgotten to use the bathroom. As she and I cruised along the urge hit me and just as fast it passed, to urinate. Me the King riding along with this lovely maiden sitting snuggled behind me, and my pants as wet as they could be. I increased our speed and manufactured a fall. With her laying sprawled out, I jumped up and attempted to restart the mini bike. I couldn’t get it started. I took off running and pushing a mini-bike that felt as if it weighed a ton. The young lady collected herself and pursued me. She wasn’t the greatest athlete, but she was faster than me pushing that min-bike.

One of the things that I had not taken notice of was, that the day was overcast. Before I was caught up to, the skies burst open with a downpour. When she came closer to me, neither of us could see clearly due to the rain. I left home as royalty and returned as such. Thank You Lord You Are A Merciful GOD!
