I checked it out, and spent the first 30 seconds distracted by the legs & miniskirt in the ad on the right... D'oh!

I couldn't read to the bottom, because when I scrolled down the legs disappeared.

First ride out this spring, 1 hour in a lady with a cigarette in one hand and a cellphone in the other swerves into my lane at me without looking. Luckily I installed a wolo airhorn and was ready for it. I swerved hard and layed on the horn, she freaked so badly that she dropped her cellphone out the window at me. I had the brakes locked up and I was on the centerline looking to dodge oncoming traffic as well, she came over fast and almost out of control.

 

Me and the wife were unharmed and really shook up, she was mad that I made her drop her cellphone and was yelling at us at the next stoplight.

 

My completely harmless wife who is a perfect churchgoing saint flipped up her helmet at the stoplight and flipped the lady her IQ.

 

I was then smacked in the helmet on the way home every time I started laughing.

... a gal decided she just instantly wanted my lane. My electronic air horn didn't help at all. The fast swerving 86 VR saved my bacon, as I've learned long ago to drive DEFENSSIVELY, and NEVER offensively. Two wheels is not the place to defend one's turf!

 

Stay alive out there everyone.
