Crystalised stupid
Aug. 25th, 2009 11:21 amI was coming home from running CG up to her job in SF (the train was delayed). There were a couple of bikes, maybe a 1/4 mile behind me. A cruiser sort of thing, wih a bronze-colored fairing, and a yellow sport/racing bike.
The sport bike was cruising a little faster than the Harley, which apparently irked the Harley rider (skid-lid, leather vest; no colors, jeans, boots), who sped up, and passed behind; from left to right, and sped up to about 75.
Which seems to have made it needful for the guy on the sport bike to prove he had a bigger dick than the Harley rider, because he sped up (from dead behind me), and passed on the right, all the while popping a wheelie.
He got back in front of me, dropped the front (wearing a full face, white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers), and shot up next to the Harley, where he proceeded to show off some more. At 75 he stood it up again, and held it for 15-20 seconds. I was 3/4rs convinced he was going to lose it, 1/4 mile in front of me, because he had a couple of moments of wobbling to keep it upright, while he was looking over at the Harley rider, before he dropped the front, leaned it over, shot past the Harley and got off; too fast, at Whipple, with the Harley right behind.
Which made the BMW rider with his right hand on his thigh (who knew Beamers had cruise control) seem almost intelligent.
