Reach out and touch someone.....

Post by Gregg »

Made it home from the trade fair.
On the way home, 2 lane road we were meeting a car on a small bridge. A motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed, just a blur, decided to pass the car as we were meeting. He could have reached out and touched both of our mirrors as he went between us.
Met a state trooper a mile down the road with lights and siren. There is no way he ever caught that motorcycle unless it crashed.

I see signs all over up here with motorcycles on them saying watch out for us. I guess you can take that two different ways.

Glad you made it home safe Gregg. That interaction could have been bad for all involved.

No respect for those types of riders. Guided missiles with primitive guidance hardware.

We had an idiot in a Covette going 100 or so zoom around us while going around KC, lane changing , driving on the shoulder. I'm fine with you killing yourself it's the innocent that suffer from idiots like that.

Local county deputy pulled over a motorcycle matching the description of the one we seen. 136 mph in a 55 mph zone, looking at a $561 fine and lose his license if convicted. I hope they realize how lucky they are. Deer around here are thick, not to mention other traffic.
