I recalled 2beers relaying a story about multible stings so I grabbed the leather and started squeezing hoping to crush the sucker. To my memory, that is the first time in my life I have ever been stung.... freaking thing still hurts.
They say to never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can fly. Luckily, mine honks on. Glad you made out of that mess. There will be more, so always ride within your means and plan for the situation.

Yeah, I learned to squeeze the stinger-dudes, don't slap them! Of courser, I learned the hard way, but at least I learned ... and glad my experience helped you smash yours.

dec 4 2003 phx az it all all most ended ,,,my new 100th deuce and i went down hard..now after ten long years ,endless searches, loss and regaining hope and retrying to find my tank at a reasonable replacement price GOLD 100TH LOGO( it was never found at any price.( sane) too rare ) trying not suffer MORE $%#%$#@% and outright theft to be inflicted by Harley Davidson on me by forcing me to give them my tank and emblems i paid cash for once all ready, that's now to allow me to partake the privileged honor of repurchasing my 100th anniversary tank set at a insane price and!!! this all comes after the triple deep ^#$@%^% i got already from a some &$$%$@ mouth moron filling out a accident report when he saw the whole accident a 1/4 MILE ahead of it in his rear view mirror yet!!"no the car didn't hit them they just fell down in front of it " this is to add the cops map hes drawing in the report that is totally wrong too .
now laying right there in front of them in my blood pool is the unassailable or debatable facts of hard evidence of crushed steel and chrome showing the impact point of the car into my twin exhaust pipes clearly smashed from behind ,crushing the ends 5 inches forward, hit from the rear
crushing the ends of 1/4 inch thick walled round pipe like a stepped on beer can collapses , a force of a sledgehammer used non stop over a week could not apply that amount impact force all together needed to recreate that amount of force and shape of damage set permanently on display that was delivered in split second by two tons of car impacting at about forty mph, as it smashes the ends forward now launching the 700 lb bike so hard and fast it forgot me and my death grip,step seat back support, my passenger and steel sissy bar meant to support us in place in comfort
as it launches forward with out us . up and to the left faster than Kennedy brains did
landing up side down sideways on handle bars and headlight and gas tank 30 feet past my unconscious body just a few feet ahead of my passengers impact point .
the next dry ****ing i got ,was my realization is none of this destruction should have happened. the ****ing federal governments failure to enforce a law meant stop **** like this did it , this was all set in motion
that morning the instant that illegal mule beater that climbed over the border fence
who has a job up here ,that I needed..has enough to upgrade from mule to car.
even coming with license plates, what he did not have,license, insurance or any experience, training or skills of driving ( the $%%@% mule could done better ) as he just gassed it out
the driveway right dead in front of me at moving at 40 mph ,him at 5 mph, had to see me, head light was on ..my head turned that exact second up and to the left asking Nancy some thing a quick twist so she can hear me say no.
1/2 second or so max left to impact next 1/4 second passes i see Pancho has ****ing killed us 1/2 second to impact to his **** mobile rear bumper 10 feet out bike tires begin smoking ,my brakes locked ,,5 feet we are not making it, we will hit,hard, it will crush my front wheel and then fold the forks into my motor when nothing is left bend ,full mass of bike will impact to full stop ,my self with nancy will continue at 20 or more mph then my legs will hit my handlebars bending then breaking bars and both legs as we are launched face first into rear windshield.. baby we are gonna floss this am on rear window glass.. a 1/2 second left to go... INSTINCT OF YEARS RACING RIDING BIKES
TAKES OVER brakes off panic full road race bike snap turn lean throws us into next lane ( A SNAP SO HARD IT AMAZES ME WE DID NOT FLIP OVER,OR RUN OFF THE ROAD ) as his right rear fender leaves a white paint streak on black leather saddlebag a inch from Nancy's knee cap
in next 1/2 second i snap us back upright aside his passenger door i brake again
as i want to see who I am about stop rip from his car and beat and stab to death now and here!!!
next 1/8 of a second
I see my left grip ripped forward out of my hand and think gotta grab that my last thought till 6 hrs later... awaking in ICU as my arm had been ripped off at the shoulder
my bare skull cracked wide open , brain exposed ,,only by my passengers skills as a long time surgical nurse did I live,Ive had 3 implant surgery's so far dead guy parts hold me together
pain .. my new best friend
the illegal he saw he knew what he inflicted two total strangers he then chose to drive off ,i still wonder if he pulled out on purpose..ya thanks feds for Pancho's rolling death show...... one of many more out there looking to meet you soon .
my next great dry *** ****ing is from "the good hands finger $@%^*% people"
at Allstate.... bend over rey
then Nancy joins the fun with the all****you team when now Ive now sold all my prized
and valuable items to help her money problems ,she steals my last sale item funds
on the way but due soon as she throws me out in the dark rain no money shelter or gas on still %@^& up bike I spent the in the night laying in soaking rain and mud next to my bike1/4 mile away no gas to anywhere,my body maimed my heart crushed
she to spite me refused to testify ( she got a broken arm) i never got a dime in the end ... but theres a 100th logon on e bay right now... NEED A 100TH AIR CLEANER COVER TOO
i allmost had one a months ago ..dam mule out bid me at the last 1/2 second
HOKA HEY I AM ON THE WAY
OR AS MY NON BELIEVER BAR STOOL WHEELIE EXPERT CALLS IT THE HOKIE POKIE ^#$@$ NUTS ON PUTTS RUN

Reply?? Hardly could make out his story. Only two things are : 1. He had an accident 2. He wants 100th Anniversary logos for his bike. Oh yeah, he uses e-bay.
Phil, I don't think you should talk about your sexual prowess. Beat it???
