Nice ride

I've been collecting parts to build my trike.But I decided to try to ride solo.[going crazy not riding] I have no feeling in my legs from the knees down.So had to watch what I was doing.Went up to Cayuse Pass to get some fresh cool air.Had a good time. On the way back we were pass by a group of crotch rockets going faster than 100 plus on some ess turns.They passed 5 or 6 rigs.Crazy! We caught up to them at the Naches Inn. I walked to the table and asked if they were enjoying thier ride.I told them they better cause the way they were riding they would be dead before they got down off the hill. The guy was a smart ass but
At least I got to get in my opinion.And what was he going to do? hit a guy walking with a cane.Still it was a good ride. I'm looking forward to more.

Re: Nice ride

As many of us do, we run into the squid bikes often running extremly fast. I use to say something to 'em once in a while when I had a chance, but I just got the same results as you. They are looking for the "rush" and figured why should I care how they do it. My rush just comes a bit slower and safer. I'm getting old I guess. As long as they pass me in a way that doesn't put me into jeoperty, I"m good with that.

However, it's all been good. I've only had just one incident where a squid got me screwed up and almost killed a long time ago. And I did catch up with him. And luck would have it, he was smaller than me and I had the advantage of surprise. () I knocked his ass to the ground! And no he didn't get up. (probably a good thing...I hit him pretty hard and if he did get up after that, I might have been in deep do-do if ya know what I mean) I don't do that anymore for the knuckles take too frig'n long to heal! Guess I'm getting to soft in my old age.

Anyway, let 'em do their thing as long as they don't screw with ya. Besides, it cleans up the gene pool.

Re: Nice ride

oocrasher, you did right by telling the sport biker what's what. He ruins the experience for all of us, by riding unsafely. Nice work.

Re: Nice ride

Scorpion is right! Unless it affects you or you are a LEO on duty, stay out of it, no one appoint you "savior of the world". Besides getting your self righous ass kicked or killed, we need the organ doners for the rest of us.

Yaha just can't tell a book by its cover or a gun fight from a fist fight.

Where they were doing that crap they may also thin down the deer and elk population.
Stupid bastiges don't have a clue,no chance with a deer at that speed,see them ride like that all the time up here and the tow truck drivers make a good living picking up broken sportbikes out of the mountains.
