Title: Scary Incident on the Tollway
Post by: andym on May 17, 2010, 12:47:50 PM
I was riding home from work last week, it was a great time to ride, traffic was light and it was nice and warm.

In the distance I saw a guy riding a Harley, as I gained on him everything seamed normal.  I finally made it passed the last car and pulled in behind him, there was about a two car gap between us and then it happened, his bandanna flew off, the poor guy was left without any protection whatsoever.

I did not know what to do, how could I offer assistance, I wanted to protect him but I was not sure how so I left the tollway at the next exit and continued home.  [moto]

If you were a squid you could have lent him the *spare* helmet attached to your bike....

 [roll] That was likely a Harley GIRL ( in spite of the broad shoulders, shaved head & mustache ), & she was trying to pick you up by counting on your good English chivalry, manners, and breeding to retrieve her hanky as her hero ( after which you would become her #$#@$ - uh.... kept man ... ).

If this had happened on Woodall Rogers it would have meant something weirdly different.  [laugh]

I think doo-rags are very usefull. They are immediately available to be used as a tourniquet, just pull it off the head and apply. [laugh]
