Just a nice day for a cruise...

My son was home for the weekend and dusted off his 400 Maxim. The weather was stunning so I convinced myself that he needed company on the 2 hour ride back to Vernon. Of course that meant a nice [B]4[B] hour cruise for me to get back home. Couldn't have asked for anything more. I had just replaced the fork seals on my SG so the front end was very much improved! Lots of bikes on the road, every body waving.

The only scary part of the ride was in Vernon waiting to turn left towards his house. We were on the green waiting for traffic to clear. Light turns yellow, Drew looks around and sees nothing amiss and he heads through the intersection. Missed getting creamed by about a foot by some B**** running the yellow light! Probably the most frightening thing for a Dad to witness.

Anyway, all's well that ends well - everybody safe.

Sounds like a great day but if your son and that B**** gamble like that often one of them is going to lose.

You're absolutely right - when you gamble, somebody is going to lose. In my son's defense he was in the clear (I was right behind him) and that B**** just decided to make a run for the yellow. If I felt he had made a bad judgement call he would still be limping!

Got the whole pic now, in that case glad both of you made it through unscathed.
It's not that We are really that invisible, cagers just let themselves get that distracted and because of the recent numerous texting fatalities, in the past couple years, new laws concerning all distractions are on their way.

So eating, reading, putting makeup on and all sorts of other things people think they can get away with propelling 2 tons of deadly weopon down the road will soon be illegal.

Now only if it's enforced.
