Default Hold the Jalapenos Please..

Enjoying a nice ride back from FL Sunday and was following behind a cage that blocked my view of a plastic plate laying in the road when the cage drove over the plate it kicked up into the air and you guessed it, I ran smack dab into it. Not a big deal if the plate were clean but this plate had been used to eat a pile of nachos and was still coated in yellow cheese. Long story short when I got home I had cheese all over my engine, engine guard pipes and cheese goo all up my right leg of my chaps, lol man I was pissed but hey what ya gonna do. I just so happened to have a new power washer in the garage so got to break that in.

You sure that cheese was from the plate or were you just really happy to be riding?

Come on man, think! It was because of all the cheese out on the roads.

At least you have good spirits about it. I guess there are worse things to get hit with.

Could be worse.......you could have been riding in Wisconsin. They think cheese qualifies as a helmet.
