Flying trash can
« on: April 17, 2021, 02:51:16 AM »
My adventure from yesterday.  From a pickup ahead of me flew an empty trash can and landed in my lane, luckily i kept my distance.

First time evading with sidecar.

  Mine doesn't fly so it was safe from insult.

 I remember a mattress blowing out of a truck in Indianapolis traffic, the first few bikes in the line got around it, the last ones had less time to react and went over it. No one fell or even had to stop. We were further back and drove around it.

i met a guy in hospital whilst visiting a mate in the next bed, this other guy had been sedately riding up the highway when a car in front lost its trailer, it unhitched and stood straight up on its back edge, he rode straight into it, he was not well but was on the road to recovery and still wanted to keep riding but planned to overtake every trailer he ever saw
i blame Terry
