Talking My weekend encounter....

My buddy and I were out riding this weekend and stopped off for gas and this pulled up at the next pump:













A lady hopped out/off (don’t know if you can define if you get out of it or off of it) and proceeded to shoot the proverbial $hit with us.

My buddy immediately asked if he could get his picture taken with this thing so I was more than happy to snap a picture. Don’t blame him he rides a sportster…..








She seemed like a 50 something year old that had a major cat collecting problem but she was nice enough.

In the end she asked me what a “Harley guy” would compare this thing to. At this point I can’t contain myself any more and as we are getting ready to leave I tell her that it’s kinda like if a smart car and a moped had an illegitimate baby and that baby fell down a flight of stairs.

I wish I got a picture of the look on her face….

It’s all good though because after about 5-10 seconds of her processing what I just said she started laughing hysterically (remember crazy cat lady here)

Just thought I would add a little levity considering all these doom and gloom threads going around right now.

I've got a co-worker who drives a gay Prius...brags about how much mileage he gets. 45-48MPG.

Another co-worker just bought a turbo-diesel Jetta with a stick...Get's 52 MPG...much nicer car in every way and fun to drive.

I see these souless POS Prius's all over Kaleeefornia. They're like a herpes breakout, and equally as fun to be around.
