Damn!  Amen to that man.  I've been fortunate on the Bambi front (knock on wood) and never had one seen on the side of the road step toward the road as I went by.  But four, all at once; geez.  Did you have to get a new seat?

Didn't you know he was the inventor of the seat w/the raised hump that fits in your crack.

I was riding my bike up a steep, narrow mountain road by Winthrop in the North Cascades... A woman was driving a old pickup down the same road. As we passed each other the woman leans out the window and yells, "PIG!!"


I immediately filpped her the finger and yelled, "BITCH!!"


I continued on my way, and as I rounded the next corner, I crashed into a pig in the middle of the road.

That's some bad karma hanging out over you Icy.  Funny as hell, but bad karma man  .

No, the seat was fine. I washed it off when I got back, BUT, I've never wore those Hanes again.

A year or two ago I was riding up the interstate to work at freeway speed (75-80mph) and was overtaking an old motorhome that was in the middle lane.  Looked like the Griswold's.

Beautiful day, sunny and really enjoying the ride.....all of a sudden the moss covered fiberglass Coleman A/C cover decided to take flight.

That puppy must have gotten a good 70 feet in the air with me about a block behind it, when it nose dived and splattered into about a hundred good pieces.  I had worked my way to the extreme left of the paved lane hoping that nothing was coming my way, I had just about avoided all of it when a big chunk shot toward me, I took to the paved shoulder slowing still, but doing 45-50, nope it is going to get the front tire for sue, like a knife......held my breath and eased a little more left and then the front tire dropped onto the sanded shoulder off the pavement.....

Major pucker factor as the knife edged chunk of fiberglass shot off the road just behind the bike, missing me all together.  I had my hands full for a few seconds that seemed to last minutes but got it steadied and eased back onto the shoulder, dropped a couple of gears and caught back up to the Griswold's.  I yelled he had lost the A/C cover and through his open window he gave me the thumbs up and mouthed thank you.

He never even lifted to see what happened.

New tightie whities when I got home.

HaHaHa Pucker factor. Thanks for the chuckle!

I was behind a pickup on the 4 laner, when his new shinny aluminum diamond plate tool box decided to take flight, time stood still and I just froze as the thing just hung in mid-air right in front of me, then a second later the wind took it toward the shoulder and it slammed down right next to me at 70 mph. I stopped at the next gas station and discarded my underware

A clear, beautiful Sunday morning several weeks ago.  Our HOG chapter had an easy cruise into cow country.  We formed 2 groups of about 8 bikes each, wife and I were at the end of the second group.

At a small country road 4-way stop, a U-haul box-truck waved each of us on for our right turn. We waved, thankful not to be behind a 'slow' rental truck. Remember, all we have here is flat, straight roads.

We get up to the speed limit of 55, when, about a mile down the road, in my mirror I see the truck comin' on... gaining fast. Before I could even imagine what he was gonna do, he was swinging into the left lane to pass our group. 

Of course he overshot and hit the left shoulder, showering us with sand and dirt, but he held on, passed us, and flew down the road in pursuit of our first group.  There was a car tailgating him...we think they were travelling together.

About a minute later, ahead of us we saw a great cloud of dust on the left.  We figured the truck was passing the first group.  Just before we got to the dust cloud area, a line of 8 bicyclists went past us heading the opposite direction.

When we came to the dust cloud, nothing there.  Huh. 

 10 minutes later, at the gas stop we found out that the truck came up to our first group, swung left and proceeded to pass them like he did with us...  then realized a line of bicyclists was pedalling straight at him... the truck veered left off the road and down the edge of the grassy/sandy swale at roughly 55 mph (our road captain saw the truck passing and was slowing the group), putting the bicyclists going west between him and our group going east. That was the great cloud of dust we saw.

To the trucker's credit, he didn't lose control.  Oh, and the car tailgating the truck stayed with him the entire time, including the off-road session.

We were all pretty speechless as we considered the carnage that could have happened. We were hoping to see the truck at the gas station. There would have been carnage, considering the tempers of a couple of our riders.

Now, considering the view the bicyclists had... I'll bet they all have nightmares for some time to come.  That they all had uncomfortable seating conditions for the next several miles, is probably a given.

Someone was watching very carefully over 16 motorcyclists, 8 bicyclists, 1 trucker, and 1 cager that morning.
