returning motorcyclist crashes new harley in 10 seconds nklr

I've been on both sides of this, rolling around back roads (on knobbies) and in no real hurry. I go out of my way to let faster traffic get past, especially bikes. But, I've had times where a couple of guys on hogs, in Siegfried'n'Roy matching outfits, were putting along a twisty road below the speed limit, side-by-side, intentionally not letting anyone pass them. I got by them anyway, there was one turn that had the line of sight to permit an outside pass. They kept slowing down for the corners! Devon A15 Sonny Bulla wrote:

Point taken, but no was'nt bothering him, just following, since it was a charity event poker ride, and I did'nt know that leg of the route. Paintball guns would be nice for pesty riders like that however. Dooden

Here's an update on the latest adventures of our former Harley rider. Man Tries to Bungee on to Ship - Misses 10/02 A man was charged with criminal mischief on Monday after he attempted, unsuccessfully, to bungee jump from a Vancouver bridge to the deck of a passing cruise ship. William Dean Sullivan miscalculated the ship's speed and suffered minor head injuries on Sunday when he bounced off its tennis court, volleyball net and a deck railing, before being left dangling in mid- air as the ship sailed away, Vancouver Police said. Police said Sullivan has planned to bungee jump from the Lions Gate Bridge, which spans the entrance to Vancouver harbor, stopping just above the passing ship so he could then lower himself a short distance to the deck. After failing to land on the ship Sullivan rappelled himself down to the water where he was rescued by a passing water taxi, which turned him over for arrest. Don Detloff Fair Haven, MI, USA
