And still having the time to give the asshole mailwoman who decided to make a left turn in front of you the finger. Talk about an adrenaline rush on the way to work this morning! I guess I just needed a reminder as to why I never used to ride on Drew Street in the morning, so it's Alternate 19 for me from now on. By some act of God I didn't highside, I guess.

No kidding! Harley-Davidson went a little overboard with their rear brakes too. That thing locks up without even thinking twice. I bet I have a nice flat spot on my brand new tires too!

~650lbs I think. It's definitely gonna toss my 200lb ass far if I do highside. That's exactly what I was thinking too! I was like, "Man, I would've been rich if that dumb ass bitch would've hit me."

If you had a "ricer burner" "croch rocket" you could of did a stoppie while shooting a bird,stop with in feet of her,then did a 12 oclock,got off the bike,kicked a dent in the side of the work truck,jumped back on the bike and hauled ass.


But no.. you was on a Harley..

Good thing your ok though.
