Yes, I know, a topic titled "Why boobs are bad" does seem every bit as heretical as "too much chrome." But it was learned yesterday that they (boobs) can be.
Was a gorgeous day here yesterday so took the red bike out for the afternoon to no place in particular. Was down in southern McDonald county which is populated with (among other things) lots of streams and creeks that are bridged and swimmable. While crusing past one a pair of girls that had been down in the creek keeping cool were walking along the side of the road on their way back to wherever they were on their way back to.
Now when I say "girls" I'm meannig in this case like 18 to 20 years old and major babes and in bikinis. They see the bike, they smile, they wave, they laugh and they flash. Both of them pull their bikini tops up.
Knowing that it would be rude and unchivalrous not to admire the offering I, of course, watch. When it had gotten to the point that I could not simply turn around and ride backwards in the seat I did glance back forward. That's when there was a problem.
Was right in the middle of the lane; right where I knew I was. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that I was still doing about 55 mph in the middle of a lane that had already transitioned to a 90 degree curve marked at 20 mph and the red bike had not done me the courtesy of beginning at all to stage for the curve.
So we're already in the curve, thoughts of boobs quickly disappearing, shoving the bike down on the right footboard brackets and dragging the back brake and probably sucking blue jeans up where no blue jeans have gone before. With a little feathering of the throttle on and off to let the front wheel dive down farther and milk its way around the curve as necessary the bike got through the sweep. A new set of footboard brackets are in order. But everything else turned out ok. And that, everyone, is why boobs can sometimes be bad. [smiley=shocked2.gif]
