I did not get to go for my Sunday ride this week......so today it was more than I could stand.......beautiful day.....warm......sun out.....so I tucked my shoe laces inside my work boots and picked up a helmet in the garage and off I went on Crickett to go in person to see about a bid on some water meters, heck with this phone stuff.....lets go for a ride. On 378 a Green Chevy Blazer at the stop light by I-20 overshot the stop light and ended up halfway through the intersection. He backed up to the painted line......I was right behind him, another white Ford pickup right behind me......I noticed the right rear backup light still on.....the left was burned out.......so I put both feet on the ground.....and slowly backed my bike up as far as I could almost up against the pickup....this gave me about a 10 foot escape area........I saw it setting up......I knew it was going to happen!! The guy in the Blazer was still in reverse gear....he had forgotten to shift back to drive. Sure enough....when the light turned green........three things happened, I saw the rear tires on the Green Blazer start to come my way....so I instantly zipped around him on the left side into the middle median.....he hit the gas to go forward....the pickup behind me hit the gas to go forward.....yep.....busted plastic and headlights all over the place......the fellows face in the pickup.....it was classic.....I am still tickled over that. I called the cops for them......stayed.....county sheriff asked me what happened....got my name and number .....told me I could go.....I think he was giving both of them a ticket for something. You simply have to stay alert.....if I had not seen the backup light on. Could have been serious............Ride defensive guys...it can happen at any second......sure can.
