Default That was an interesting first ride of the new year

First motorcyclist I passed ( two fingers pointed towards the ground ), I waved to and he flipped me off

Nothing like a "I'm better than you" Harley rider to start the riding season on a high note

All the other motorcyclists I passed either waved or nodded. ( Yes, that includes every other single HD that I passed, even the BMW rider waved)

Got just over 50 miles in today. Felt good to be out. I stayed on the major roads since the secondary roads are so filled with pot holes they look like they've been bombed.

I will never understand some people. Glad you got out on two. Our roads, even the primary ones, are also filled with potholes.

That was Roger. He lost all his fingers on that hand in an accident when he was 4 weeks old His parents had ferrets. All that's left is his middle finger. He wasn't flipping you off, he was just waving back.

Not exactly. The road wasn't that wide and I could see the hate in his eyes.

Exactly. For that split second and I wanted to turn around to kick his handlebars towards the ditch as I rode past. But I figured why lower myself to his level.

Having your fingers chewed off by a ferret, leads to an onset of hostile behavior by men in ass-less leather pants.

Then again, he may have lost is fingers in a belt chroming incident.

That's the problem with Roger. You never know when he's lying.
