Scottly, I'm not afraid of throttling and braking. I just have to up my game and git gud. Even if it means being what washington considers "reckless" at all times. (I define reckless as "if you reck at this speed, it will be the less thing you do)
It is the stoplight racers that suck the worst. 3 lane drag strip in the shopping district.
So glad I left bloo at home.
I met the real welcoming committee today. Cowmann found himself in an actual wild wild west whattheeverlovingF@CK worst case scenario
Apparently, parking in the shade of a gas station canopy is a no-no when patronizing an establishment as an out of state motorcyclist. Enjoying my subohm vaporizer in a public plaza with no one else around...doubly so.
One very perturbed food cart vendor came at me blind side with orders to get out of the place and he's been on the phone with the sheriff. Now I can't push that damn bike fast enough for his convience, he reaches in the food cart and lifts up a bolt action carbine.
Jesuschrist. Real country gentleman here.
Its a goddamn prop.
This idiot follows me around with a cellphone, because he self-admittedly thinks I don't own my ride.
I went inside. I'd already met the station clerk earlier the morning. So I asked what was up with the man outside brandishing rifles and barking orders like he owns the place. Btw, this clerk is a puget sound transplant too!
He calls the boss.
All the drama ensues.
I take a moment to push my bike somewhere safely clear of this hostile mans unpredictability, nested the albatross in a space surround by 10 inch thick concrete pylons.
I fully expected this man to be sacked on the spot, hop in his suv, and weaponize it.
But by some gracious act of god and independent contracts, he was simply ordered to deliver an apology.
I did not accept, and I used some absolute choice words taking him to school on what it means to raise a rifle around a biker.
I already gots a ptsd diagnosis and I am NOT messing around with lethal threats no more.
In the words of colorado, if this dude wants to harass bikers at a gas station, he's likely to pick on the wrong one that will drag him out in the desert and put him in a shallow hole.
