Default 3000 pounds of irony....

Driving out of the neighborhood this morning and almost got clipped...

Dude has a "Harley Country" sign on his mailbox, harley stickers on all his cars, and no harley...

As I am passing his driveway he is backing out with SUV and apparently not paying attention... Almost plowed right into me.

I have a buddy who owned a honda "not cutting hondas" and wore
Harley boots, jacket, t-shirt, the whole nine yards. Was quite a site.
He was a real good friend and a while back going through a divorce
rode the honda decked up in HD up to the bar. I felt bad and like
I said he was a good friend, so I tossed him the keys to my sporty
and told him to come back in a few hours. I think he forgot about
the divorce for awhile.

I just don't f*ckin' get it! [sm=bangbang.gif]

In his five year campaign of propaganda between him buying his first bike in 20yrs (FLHRC) and me getting mine, Dad bought me a pair of Harley boots for my birthday. They sat in the closet for three years until I brought home a Street Bob.

My nieghbors are all really old or retired. So I almost think I should ride down the side walk just to be safe. I also live in a farming community and well, its no picnic sharing the streets with them either.
