Another Weird Irish Thing

My little Honda 50 she's rapid and she's nifty.
She'll do a hundred and fifty on a windy day.
My little Honda 50, hit the nitro and she'll shift me.
Get me away from the Garda any day.

I got her in the Buy and Sell back in '92.
A travellin' man in a caravan said "This is the bike for you".
He was lookin' for a hundred, I gave him thirty two.
Took her for a spin out the Kinnegad Road and begod she feckin' flew.

I drove her into Newbridge lookin' for a couple of parts.
Alloy wheels, a sat-nav and a new push button start.
Headin' out to Robertstown for the bingo and the beer.
Comin' down the Hill of Allen she hit the ton in second gear.

I was ridin' across The Curragh nice and slow
The Guards pulled in behind me, Sergeant Kelly, don't you know.
I said, "O Buck, just my luck" and I hit the nitro hard.
By the time the squad hit Brookets Cross I had her parked in Brady's Yard.

I amn't sure what the Utility of a 50cc Honda Supercub that can hit 100mph in second gear would be - but there ya go.

"Get me away from the Garda any day."

That sounds useful...

Even if they were talking 150 kph that's still pretty fast for second gear. Fourth gear would put it what about 190?
That's when you pass a police cruiser, and the Officer tries to get out of the Squad car to figure out why they stopped....

Buncha scofflaws.  You're all under arrest, by order of Main Force Patrol.
