Default We're a scary bunch....

So my wife and I go out to dinner with my parents the other night and I get voluntold that I'll be driving their minivan to our location. We're headed down the interstate in the right lane when I hear that sweet rumble in the passing lane beside us. I look over to see a rather large individual on a blacked out SG starting at me. He raises his left hand and draws it across his neck in a cutting motion as if slitting his throat.

I'm like WTF did I do and I notice that my dad its chuckling from the passenger seat...ok there has to be more to this story. The dude on the SG motors ahead and I notice he's got a Freemason emblem on the back off his bike...in fact its identical to the one on the back of my dads van which I happen to be driving.

I'm guessing that either us bikers are as scary as we're often portrayed to be in the movies, or that was some Freemason secret handshake so to speak Pops wouldn't elaborate but the way he chuckled at my reaction pretty much tells it all. Too funny!

I have found that with my vest on, with my colors on the back and my tattoos on my arms not many people mess with me on my bike, and if they do something stupid and they get close enough to me to see my tats and vest colors, they fade away or pass with a lot of space not even looking at me lol, kids look all the time at me like I am from outer space lol.

But sometimes the OL in the passenger seat is looking out of the corner of her eye....

Now thats funny right there... Yeah, I'd have preferred to be on the ultra instead of driving my seventy something year old parents grocery getter, but that was the cost of a free meal, lol.
