Great ride everyone, hope the pace wasn't to fast for some, or was it too slow? Pics! Post em if ya gots them! MARK!
We all grouped up with Chris, Paige, & Mark who were sitting there since 8 waiting for Breffis. Glad you guys hung around!
I would have planned something ahd I known. Which I origonaly was going to
do. Live and learn...
I think everyone that went with us was happy with our day? I know I am , I
just wish I could follow all those roads to do it again! & Thankfully the traffic was light. & to top it off FREE LUNCH !! That guy was cool.
Who stole my Roast Beast Sandwich? You owe me one! The Turkey was actually
very good, so no worries. I know you HAD TO HAVE IT! ; )
I had two close calls to losing my bike today, one while I was on it.
The first one was on 91 N. Some Jack-ass decided he has to be in the fast lane behing his friends but small problem there are a line of 8 bikes in his way.. What does he do you ask? He almost sideswipes Mark, Mark decides to back off, at this time is when I see this Huge freaking P.O.S. car filling my rear view mirror as if I was the Hood ornament... WTF?? I cant even imagine how close he was to my rear tire, and how close I was to being Killed. Thanksfully the S.O.B. Missed us continued onto the fast lane. I in turn sat up side saddle and gave the open arm gesture as to WTF? and stared him down. He stared back and gave me a peace sign??? Huh??? Peace, Yeah more like I want a piece of your hide Mo....Fu.....
The next incedent was 5 minutes later?? ( Maybe racing should be were I ride and ride alone? ) So we are all at a gas station in Holyoke we all filled up and we are just relaxing for a bit. Well I left my bike at the end of an island out of the way in the shade. Well it wasn't out of the way enough for this huge ass rig pulling a 20 or 30 foot horse trailer. This old lady isdriving tryine to swing through a small station and is getting real damn close to taking out my bike. I see her checking her mirrors, so I think she has it in control.. NOT.. Next thing I know the wheels/wheel wells are soooo freaking close and just as I YEll at the top of my lungs (HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!) The wheel well catches my front tire and slides my bike ever so slightly and from me yelling the old woman stops, and doesn't even blink at me. I swung the bike around enough for her to get around. The daughter comes out and checks out the bike with me and apologozes and makes sure nithing was wrong. The old lady did NOTHING... Bike was fine thank god, if she drove any further My bike would have been down for sure, maybe run over? Oh yeah and I'm such a jerk, I startled her horse.. If I was really a jerk I would have oinned the rev limiter next to the trailer when we were leaving, but it's not the horses fault the driver was an idiot...
310 Miles and more to go, I have to ride up to Manchester. go out drinking while the bike sits at my friends house, then go riding all day in NH! Damn my life is horrible! : )
Later Kids have a safe happy 4rth..
