From The terror of Highway 101
: Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!! He
said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise." But he hit a
screamin' diesel
that was California-bound" And when they cleared the wreckage, all
they found - - - -
So I decide I want to try this 1000 mile ride called the Iron Butt, Bun
Burner.... this is an organization that establishes records and goals for
idiots like ME... LOL I got on my BMW F-650 single cylinder ( which is
cheating really cause the bike was built for this kind of stupidity ) and I
rode..... here's an bit of what happened....
...
Wanna know how far you can push yourself on a scooter in a single day....
these guys are for you....
quick story... so... in the middle of the night... between 2 and 300 miles...
I get into really heavy Road construction to go with my Really heavy Rain and
FOG... and I'm running along at ... what 70mph... speed limit is 60 and I
can see far enough in front of me to brake... so I'm fairly comfy... ( okay
I'm scared freaking to death... but Gotta act manly here right? )... anyway
I'm focused at infinity... and the next thing I know... the bike literally
falls out from underneath me.... just gone.... like a freaking amusement park
ride... freaking GONE... oh wait... there it is... spanking me in my falling
ass... The road crew took 8-10" of material off that area... so I'm
gathering
my senses back...and Yep... UP we go... into the Wild Blue Yonder... up and
away... into the sky.... Hmmm Always remember to at least try and breath...
It's hard I know.. but if you have air your brain works better... Okay it's
landing... cool... hmmm I really gotta do some more off road work with this
bike... Wow.... then I look up and the freaking lane is going to the right to
go around some freaking bridge and the lanes got that Shoulder of asphalt
that
they think is cute... Damn it man... I'm still trying to breath here...
Wow... and the answer is YEP... I pulled over and looked for my
Cigarettes.... didn't have any so I downed two cokes... an aspirin and
promised myself that next time I saw god at 4 in the morning... I'm gonna ask
a few questions...
I'm not sure this gig is going to be part of my life.... BUT what a kick in
the ass.... quite a challenge...
Just thought I'd share the latest lunacy...
