Default and then.....Michael Jackson screamed

best morn of the year. 6 am headed to work down us441 towards Apopka (Orl,FL) town, still dark, perfect 74 deg ridin weather , first morn without the jacket. doin bout 70mph starting my approach on a lite. theres a car pullin out to the left,truck changing lanes in frt and a semi comin up on my right. I'M ON TOP OF IT!!! see it all and alert!!! when all of a suddeni hear this HORRENDOUS SCREECH and i start bobbin and weavin and duckin and lookin for the impending doom thats sure to befall me when I realize that the stereo has just erupted with a Michael Jackson song and it was his scream I heard. Scared the $h!t outta me. damn near fell off the bike. and then once i regained my composure I damn near fell off the bike laughing. ah.......good times.

figured I desrved a nice ride home tonite so took a few hours and went thru the Ocala Ntl forest. great weather here at thec moment. ride safe.

Relli, I know what you mean. Ever hit the horn buttonwhen you meant to hitthe left turn signal button? When you're not expecting something like that, it will certainly scare the poop right out of you!

Relli, that was funny!! Last Spring I was riding to work in moderate rush hour traffic and not paying attention to my radio, when all of a sudden I hear tires squealing all around me!! It was the local Honda dealers radio add. I almost wrenched my neck trying to find the skidding vehicle, and I nearly had to go back home to change drawers too.
