Not sure what’s up with today, but it sure has brought out some very unthoughtful, angry, and down right despicable people.
Drive to work
On our way to work this morning, we pull out of our street and proceed up to an All-Way stop, where there will soon be a red light when the construction is finished. There was a guy on a Harley behind us, they’re crazy enough to ride year-round, and pulling through the stop, he does what they all do, ride your butt. As we approached the next stop light, he cuts through the median to get into the turn lane that is further down the road, and cut us off. There’s not many times that I feel that it’s appropriate to lay on the horn, but this was one of them. Annoyed by the horn, he starts kicking his left foot trying to land on the kick-stand so that he can get off his bike. Now mind you, this is one of your typical Harley guys, which by no means intimidate me whatsoever. I’m not sure why, but when you get a Harley, you instantly become a bad-a, or at least that’s what the majority of the riders believe.

Motorcycle ride through the mountains to Tellico Plains for Father’s Day.
A few photos from this set
Got up early on saturday, ok not early but left at 8:30AM, and drove up to Paducah Kentucky. It was a 4.5hr trip each way. My dad bought a new bike (2007 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200C) so we went up there to pick it up. I was actually kind of surprised of how nice the area up there was and w/ the leaves turning up there moreso than in GA right now, looked very cool. I should have taken some pics, but forgot camera as usual :p
You don’t have to make the headlines to make a difference.
