He has a problem with target fixation, because he is using that "third eye" to steer with! That third eye should never be trusted,,,,, oh,,,, Ok, rarely be trusted.

I'm glad to see the passenger had the good sense to put on her riding gloves, she probably just got her nails done and didn't want to chip one.

Riding like you are invisible is the best tactic in my opinion. Its gotten me out of all kinds of dangerous situations.

Heh, poor Kay.

It's okay, we have to have some fun though.


The funny part is, I totally skipped over this thread for over a full day so I missed the beginning so I couldn't chime in when the moment was just right.
