EXCITING RYDE LAST NIGHT

[grumpybob]

Decided to take a short 20 mile ride before getting ice cream last night.

First Nan kicked my helmet off the deck down 5 steps onto the driveway. Scratched my shield and helmet up, she owes me a new helmet!

Then a City Cop follows me thru town, I was speeding. Seem to drive faster with the RT than the GS for some reason.

Then a pickup turns left in front of us with a trailer with a 250 gallon water tank on it, not tied down. The tank came off & slid down the road in front of us thankfully changing lanes before we hit it, water all over the road. Car coming at us missed it, but must have been exciting for him for a couple of seconds.

left the ice cream stand & a guy two cars in front of us decides to take a left into the liquor store, car coming from the other direction hits him, both go in the ditch, nobody hurt.

A mile from home we drove thru a flock of bats, that was just strange, they all avoided the windshield.

It is exciting riding a Spyder!

Oh made it home just in time to watch the International Space Station streak across the horizon.

That was enough items to make a movie sequence with. Glad you got through everything okay. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

With your luck missing all those accidents, maybe you should buy a lottery ticket.

Wow! What a story!!

If someone else told me this I would be hard pressed to believe them!! That is exactly the way it happened, not a good enough story teller to make it up. Think I will take the truck tonight, probably not, the weather is to nice. Besides I have to try out my new $6.00 flag holders.


Two bolts two nuts 6 flat washers 2 lock washers and 2 tarp clamps. Replace the 2 license plate bolts with those parts and add 2 flags on wooden dowels. Got the idea from another RT ryder!!

Could you post a picture of the flag holder. Sounds interesting but I am having a hard time visualizing it

Just got the camera out and the battery is dead. It is charging as I respond. Will take a couple of pic's and attach them. I think the holders will work great for parades/escorts at a moderate speed. I intend to use them for PGR escorts/rides.

It wasn't as scary as it sounds. Had plenty of time to react. We were never in immediate danger. The bats were pretty cool, that happpened just at dusk, having them fly thru the headlights was something. I was glad I didn't have my helmet on when Nan kicked it!!
