Just thought I would share. Was coming home, driving the SUV with my wife andmother in the car. I spoted a young dude on a sport bike. At first I didn't think anything of it. Then I saw him pull out and he wobbled with the bike, trying to balance it as he pulled out. Clue number one. Then, once we got on our way onto the little highway, I noticed him in the rear accelerating and slowing down alot. I said to my wife, how much you want to bet he passes us at over 100mph. Well, no sooner did I say that, he passed us very fast. He then got over into our lane, squeezing between me and another vehicle. I stayed steady on the gas and noticed he was slowing down, he was not paying attention, I came inches to his bumper, because he was messing with his gear and I guess he didn't notice his speed slowing. I was close to bumping him. Now, I would not have bumped him, but just wanted to get close and give him a scare. He looked into his mirror, then punched the gas again and took off. Why? I am sure this kid hasn't been riding more than a few weeks and he's already acting like he's a great rider. It's like I said before, going straight and fast is easy, why do people insist on looking cool by doing it? He could barely pull out without dumping the bike, he needs a smack in the mouth. |
