Almost bought the farm,
Holy ???? Batman,
Yesterday after a local hog chapter ride. A few of us were riding back home.
We decided to take I 465 around Indy. Near the airport in construction zone I got thrill for a few seconds. The road had uneven pavement and the lanes were shifting several times. I am running 70+ and both wheels drop into this groove made by the uneven and broken pavement. The bike felt like I was sliding in mud or snow and I was frantically hanging on and fighting the steering. I held it as straight as I could and finally got the bike back up out of the groove and onto good pavement. There were cars on both sides in multiple lanes everyone was running 70+. Had I went down it "would have been curtains as they say". The guy next to me in a cage look over and he knew I was having trouble. He was just as glad as I was that things worked out. I think he thought I was going to fall in front of him.
I getting to old for that kind of crap.

Need a pair of vise grips to pull the rest of your shorts out your azz ? I'm pretty sure this is why old bikers have no butt , if you ride long enough it kinda implodes from the constant pucker factor .
