deer on a motorcycle? was he trick riding or being responsible?

 

oh, i was riding the motorcycle, smart aleck.

 

yeah, not sure how to post it here, still have it, found it buried folders deep

 

Speaking of trick riding, have you ever seen the Indy motorcycle cops trick riding? I was at the zoo there once with family and when we got out of our cars in the parking lot we noticed their version of CHiPs out on 40 going back and forth doing crazy tricks like standing on the seat and stuff. I've never seen anything like it. I thought they were filming for a movie or something. We were all stunned watching those guys.

However, despite the location, there were no animals on the motorcycles.

How about you, @Naptown ? You ever see those guys trick riding?

 

Say did any of you see all those trucks that were parked under that bridge in Detroit to stop that man from jumping off the bridge. They were parked on the highway for 4 hours.

How does that work? You have log book time you're burning you have LTL trucks and UPS trucks that run on air tight schedules hauling in some cases next day guaranteed freight, what happens when you're sitting there for 4 hours like that? Do you get in trouble with dispatch? What if you have a trailer full of red hot has to be there yesterday freight? I mean that could really screw up the night line haul schedule. I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it I would have sat there too for 4 hours if the police asked me too, but what I'm asking is how does that work on the dispatch end?

 

The truck third from the left is Dayton Freight you can tell by the fancy light up air shield.

 

Jump you Folker, i got places to be!

 

Man, we look good out there flying the DFL flag at night!
