Got BUZZED by a crotch rocket. [:@]Was riding north on Maryland 235 just north of Hollywood, a two lane each direction. Traffic was light and was riding two up with the wife, I just caught a glimese ofa bike coming up on us in my mirror. We were in the right lane with the cruise set at sixty and this fool on a crotch rocket had to be doing over a hundred, passed us riding the center line as he did. I felt my wife jump just after this idiot went by, She was shockedby the sound and howfastit went by.I ride the left side of my lane when riding alone, it was close.[:@]
Don't worry, he will die soon. I don't believe in evolution, but "natural selection" (the eradication of the stupid and the foolish, etc) is like gravity, you cannot defy it...
I got Buzzed today too. It's just that I wasnt' on my bike but was drinking Vodka all day and feel really good right now. No riding but still had a great time.
I had some azz do that to me last year at Delmarva Bike Week. It wasn't that fast but it was on wet roads. He came within inches of my right saddlebag while I was making a left turn.
Had that happen to me and my buddies last summer, but the guy was on one wheel when he flew by us like we were standing still... and we were doing around 70mph. I'm always checking my mirrors to keep an eye on what's around me, and this clown literally came out of nowhere.
I have been "buzzed" before by a Harley, so we do it too. Nothing like a road king blowing by with its baffless pipes just singing. It will make your ears ring.
