Default Almost wrecked today..........

During todays ride, saw something that made me think of some of the post here, laughed so hard almost wrecked.

At almost sunset, saw a chrome helmet coming at me, it got closer and saw fingerless goves, assless chaps, and a heavy leather jacket. Guy musta been a 250 pounder. ON A VESPA. Took a doublelook to make sure I wasn't seeing things. You know the saying: head and eyes and the bike will follow. That's where the trouble begain. I stopped in time in a left turn lane and starting to LMAO. Visions of ElectricRick came to mind with his dresser (It was a Gold Vespa).

Glad you're safe! What a terrible experience. Inquiring minds need to know, does ElectaRicks helmet match his ride? LOL
