Snarley Bill Posted October 20, 2008 #1 Posted October 20, 2008 i was just sitting here at the keyboard and the picture of lewis coming off the highway at a turn off near memphis, flashed in my mind. although it was'nt funny at the time it makes me chuckle now. it was a 90 degree off ramp and lewis hit the weeds. dust and crap was flying everywhere. luckily he got back on the pavement safely. i almost followed him on my wing. luckily all the debris flying caught my attention and i stayed on the road. sorry lewis not to good with secrets. reason it made me laugh is the same thing happened years ago with a buddy of mine as he missed a turn at 50 mph and i saw the same picture. luckily we sat over a beer later and laughed about it. bill
Eck Posted October 20, 2008 #2 Posted October 20, 2008 Wow Bill, You had me worried there for a minute when I read your post "title".... I thought you were gonna say Lewis tricked you and "shook the bed covers"......phew... Sorry Lewis.... but sure glad you didn't mar up the bikes paint job or chrome, OH...or your body...
mini-muffin Posted October 20, 2008 #3 Posted October 20, 2008 Darn and nobody had a camera ready for that one. Sorry Lewis but I'm sure it was funny...................................... after the fact. Glad you didn't hurt yourself, Charlene would never let you out on the bike again. Margaret
