In stop and go traffic, I happened to look at the car to my right: there's a man in the passenger seat but nobody driving! Then an attractive woman driver sat up, licked her lips, looked at the cars in front of her (still not moving), looked over at me, smiled, and then leaned back over and continued blowing the man. Strange.

That's good stuff !
When I had my Ford Excursion with a 6'' lift, I used to see "down" on allot of things like that.
Saw allot of women pleasuring themselves while driving, which almost made me crash a  few times  ;D

I was a delivery driver for awhile and saw some pretty stupid S%$t. The craziest thing was someone stopped in the middle of 70 (in st. louis ). If this wasn't bad enough (people driving 70 or 80 miles an hour) they backed up while staying in their lane to get back to the exit they missed.... I was shocked  :o  :o  :o

Looked over on the way to work this morning to see some yuppie schmuck with his Laptop in-between his gut and his steering wheel typing away as he "attempted" to drive. I gave him alittle toot (dual 24'' airhorns were mounted under the new truck last weekend ;D) and scared the hell outta him.

He flicked me off , I gave him the thumbs up, and went about my drive.
I love the morning commute.... ::)

Couple things here...

There is a pedestrian bridge over I-240 in Oklahoma City running from a High School to a residential neighborhood on the other side, Last summer while on my way home from work I noticed a pretty little hardbody walking across as I approached on the Freeway.  Suddenly she stops, yanks up her top and shakes the damn things at me and the rest of the Freeway traffic...  My wife goes "Did you see that?"  I'm trying to catch my breath and said " See what?"  ;D

This mornig, had a gal turn left in front of me, from the wrong lane, without signalling and then had the nerve to give me the dirty look when I had to brake to avoid an accident.  I told the wife, it's a good thing we haven't won the Lottery, I'd of rammed her.  (I too, like the little evil voices...)

When I had my old, beat-up F-250, nobody ever did that to me. But now that I have a nice, shiny truck, people do it all the time. I guess they think I don't want to scratch this one and I'll back off. The old one? RAMMING SPEED!!!!!!

...Today I saw a guy going up the freeway in my berg on a '76 750F......Candy Antares Red. Stock pipe, bike was spotless, the paint/stripes looked mint! I am a little surprised, as spoked F's are pretty scarce around here. Or so I thought. I was in my car, gave the guy a thumbs up and just drove beside him 2 lanes over and watched him go. He was wearing a Bell Star so he must be an older guy.....maybe the original owner. Or, perhaps he just bought the bike for 400.00 and the seller threw in the original lid he wore back in '76........ ;)

Hey Ernie- why can't I be that lucky!!!  I gotta stop by 7-11 more often!  :)

The worst driving incident that almost got me was this:  I was riding home from somewhere a few years ago, when it started to rain bigtime.  I was going a little under the speed limit (it was raining pretty hard) and on a residential two lane street when the chucklehead in front of me (and I was hanging back a lot) decides to slam on his brakes and stop in the middle of the street.  I was probably going about 25 or 30mph at the time, and I was maybe 50 yards away when he stopped, and my attempt at a controlled stop in the newly wet street turned immediately into a skid.  The distance between me and the car rapidly closed, and I was really getting scared.  Somehow, right before I smashed into the back of the car, I managed to get off the brakes long enough to steer a bit, and then reapplied them.  I skidded to a stop right next to the passenger window, and what do I see?

A completely oblivious a-hole with a map unfolded across the dashboard and steering wheel, just stopped in the middle of the street!  I guess it was just time to stop (without pulling over) and read the map!  People never cease to amaze me.

About 20 min ago I was trottin down the tollway about 70 or so ( as usuall) then all of the sudden I hit a wall of traffic and brakelights. So my 70mph blast turns to an off idle crawl. About 10 min into this traffic starts to move , and I see what the reason for the delay was.

A Saturn and a blazer decided to make "love" so to speak. It wasn't even that bad, but instead of pulling to the shoulder, then decided to leave the two cars in the middle lane of I-294 south, which is one of the busiest roads around here. They had the common sense to sit on the shoulder, but the cars still sat in the road.  >:(

I cant get people sometimes (most of the time actually)... ::)

...on the way to Toronto a tourist decided the quickest way to go back
to the tourist kiosk he just missed was to put it in reverse on RT 20 (I believe it was).
The driver of the bike I was on missed rear ending the tourist, but
Brand new "the Judge" ended up ripping half his front bumper off, and his mirror was
also taken off by the drivers' hand, flew up in the air and smashed his windshield, and
smashed his fender/door.
We went flying at 70mph, and I passed out before I landed.
When I woke up, I was standing watching the bike coming towards me end-over-end,
and land on my friend, the driver.

The tourist watched this happen and attempted to leave. Fortunately many others had
seen the accident and blocked him in; an 18 year old with Daddy's diplomatic plates.

I was ok except for some road rash on my butt, but my friend had major burns where
you don't want major burns (if you know what I mean). What still amazes me is that I
somehow had the presence of mind to flick the bike off him without even thinking "there
is no way I can lift this bike when it falls over by myself'....wierd

peace

detchin,
I think that was your future wife  ;D ;D

Today got cut off driving in the pristine poclitically correct state of Vermont
3 times. All within 6 miles. At least the last guy apologized, after I inquired about
his eyesight and asked if his mother had raised a moron that had difficulty
seeing a mc with the high beam on?.
 Usually I don't confront cagers, but THREE in one day was more
than I could sit still for.

Ok, ok, I'm ok now. Will take more deep breaths and go back to
resoring the KZ1300....
peace,
michel

Today. In the span of 3 miles to hardware store and back.

Waiting a left turn on to a side street. As soon as last oncoming car passed a woman pulled out to from the side street to within 6 inches of my left leg and leaned on her horn. I was a tad slow to get moving but there was no traffic in sight in either direction. She couldn't wait 3 seconds! I didn't argue as I was not in a good position to.

Guy does a right turn on red from behind me and damn near runs over my foot and does scrape his rims on the curb.

Making left turn through one lane of stopped traffic into the hardware store parking lot, I nearly get nailed by a guy on a bicycle going about 25MPH onthe friggin sidewalk!

Some days I can go for hours and everyone behaves perfectly. Today they were NUTS! Friday?

This morning .....
Out for a early morning ride (less idiots on the street) and I was at a stopsign on a sidestreet, about to make a right onto a 4 lane road. I understand I don't have any turnsignals (yet) , but with the bike pointed to the right  you would think I was gonna make a right turn , correct ??? Long story short, some stuck up #$%* in her brand new, and I mean BRAND new AMG Benz decided to pull right up next to me on my left, and make a right run in front of me, while I sat their in awe.. :o I managed to get my left foot out just enough so the toe of my wore thru steel toe's shoes did a nice little scrape on the bottom of her door as she went past me. I actually had to move the bike back or else she would of hit the front tire..

Rode up next to her , and we hit the next light.
Asked her if she had a special #$%* license, and how I need to go about getting one.
She flicked me off (with two kids in the back seat) and proceeded to blow the light..
She was a total MILF, but that doesn't make it right...

Gotta love living in a stuck up "upscale" neighborhood....
