Butt pucker moment

[Mr.E]

Those fucking buzzards take off in slow motion.

Yup they do. And I've got a big scratch on my helmet from its "razor sharp claws." At least I assume its from that, only thing that seems to fit.

Oh yeah, I hit a bat last fall too. But that was more funny than anything

My most recent pucker moment came riding down a busy 4 lane city street with fairly heavy traffic. Had a median on my left, traffic on all 3 other sides, and the 400 lb woman next to me in her cage was too busy trying to lick the melted chocolate off the Reese's peanut butter cup wrapper to pay attention to lil ole me next to her. She kept drifting into my lane which had me riding as close to the median as I possibly could honking trying to get her attention. She nearly rear ended the car in front of her at the red light (nose deep in the melted chocolate as she was) and at the stop my irritation got the better of my judgement and I kicked a nice sized dent in her driver's door w/ my steel toes. That was the first time she looked at me, right as I was gassing it and leaving her behind to wonder.... All that happened in a matter of seconds, and I was fairly sure I would be explaining myself to Johnny Law at some point, but he never came knocking.

Unfortunately, all that did was give her an "asshole biker" story to tell her friends. But, can't say I really blame ya, shit like that gets under my skin too.

Rode the chop to work yesterday. Doing about 60 on the highway in the right lane. All of a sudden, this kid (maybe 18) comes flying up in the left lane beside me and settles to my speed. I glance over and the dummy is giving me the thumbs up, and looking at me. Not the road and traffic ahead. And all the while, veering into my lane. Big ol' dumbass smile on his face as he forces me to swerve into to sholuder, than he floors it and takes off. If the bike was running better I wouldve followed him and punched his fucking mirror off or some juvenile, idiotic thing like that. I was fuming.

I realized that as soon as my foot made contact with her car. One of those few moments in life that I reacted without thinking it through because I was just that disgusted/pissed off that I almost got turned to squish so this obese cow could enjoy her chocolate...

Several years ago I had a crow swoop down and glanced off of my headlight only to hit me in the throat while I was cruising along at about 50mph. I pulled over, got off the bike, took my helmet off and had about two thousand "oh shits" run through my mind before I was able to take a breath.

I was heading downtown last night and I saw someone who had their own butt pucker moment.

The dude was sitting on the guardrail with his helmet off and his gf.... who's car was parked a
short distance away. Together they sat looking at the twisted remains of some 80's vintage
bike. The forks and front tire was all mangled.

I am not sure what happened to the guy but given the look of the bike.... he was very very lucky to
be unhurt.
