Default Who wouda thunk it?

This is a true story you are about to read even though it may seem like fiction. I was recently riding on my day off from work and was stopped at a traffic light.
About then it happened... one of the best looking women I have laid eyes on pulled up beside me in a late model corvette ragtop. She then said heh you on the bike you wanna race? I said no too dangerous and then she said if you win you can have me! Right I'm thinking and besides I'm no spring chicken turning 63 sun. Anyway light turns green and she floors it. Squealing tires smell of burnt rubber you get the picture. Well me knowing I couldn't win with my 90 softail I didn't punch it or nothing. Lo and behold I get a mile or two down the road and there was that corvette hood up steam going everywhere . Well of course I stopped. Seems a radiator hose had busted and she was down for the count. She asked if I would call a tow truck for her. I said I don't know maybe . You said if I beat you racing I could have you is that still true? She said oh I was only kidding about that. I said yeah I was only kidding about calling you a tow truck hopped on my scoot and took off.

I call "typical woman"...promising something, giving nothing. You could have stopped down the road from her and hollered, "I WIN!" and rode off. But you did the right thing.
