Last week when a ford truck pulled out in front of me, back tire ended up locking up and it was a squeelin'

Earlier this year on my way home from work at 3 AM.  Passing a car on the super slab, I'm right next to the car when a deer jumps out.  I was really hoping the car didn't swerve.  He didn't, and the deer gave us a dirty look.  LOL

the other night coming home traveling 100 km/h see two sets of lights coming straight at me .... Think to myself "must be an optical illusion"  he still wouldn't be in the passing lane ... Boy I was wrong had to go around him on the unpaved shoulder was doing about 70km/h by then but almost shat my pants .... The guy never seemed to have seen me had to pull off the road to have a smoke get the shakes out.  It was a very close call.   Never have I wanted to have a handgun so bad.

That's strange. I tried to take the shifter off before, and I couldn't because it hit the frame half way. I wanted to grease the pin that way.

Two weeks ago some jerk switched lanes without checking. Lucky for me there was room on my left to just move out of his way. It wasn't a close call, but it did get the old heart into high speed mode.

newby mistake only been riding less than 50 miles - never had a bike before - was doing a Sunday morning ride to get some experience with lite traffic conditions (or so i thought).....back to the newby mistake - came up to medium heavy traffic intersection geared down (thought all the way to first)....tried to time it so i could keep rolling and not have to start off on an uphill......well that did not work too good - so after coming to complete stop at the head of the line 4 or 5 cars behind and more coming - i let the clutch out - gagged it - stomped it (gear shifter - now in 2nd was in 3rd) gagged it cussed it stomped it now in neutral - reved it rolled back cars wizzing by on the right side - stomped it now in 1st now light is red again......guy behind me laughing his a$$ off - i am cussing and embarrassed - and now thank God it is in 1st gear and I only have to negotiate the clutch out gas on uphill take off.....gagged it - cussed it - cranked it and finally by the grace of God it got it moving as more cars coming wizzing by and showing me I am "number 1" in thier opinion.......that was a real attention getter and ran my blood pressure up!

this was in June 2010 now i have 1000 miles under my belt and i can get it in gear pretty good and take off uphill no gagging......

Lol, I don't feel too bad now, that happened to me the first time I rode into town and had to stop at a light.  Mine was on level ground though, making a right turn.  Eased out on the clutch, but didn't gas it enough, splut, died.  Embarrassing!

My last heart jumper was in my car on the way to work last week.  30 mph on a twisting industrial area street behind a semi.  Saw a minivan stopped on the sidestreet on the right, cellphone glued to his head.  Soon as the semi passes him, here he comes!  Utilized my antilock brakes and horn, and had the satisfaction of seeing him freak out enough to jump the curb.  Hope he dropped his phone in his coffee!
