    I used to go out to the Goodwill donation yard and grab the European 3 speed bike and lace in rims and tires from a cruiser. That way I could ride not on the streets, And didn't take a tumble if I found a root crack in the blacktop.

    Probably would depend on the damage. I mean if something is obliterated due to shift from an obvious panic stop or something, probably not.

    There were a couple guys that couldn't bring a load back to Phoenix without F it up, at the place I did all the local deliveries for.

    The one dude ended up killing one or two people in a rear ender on 17 about 2 years ago.

    Another interesting thing on my little trip. I get to the TA in Vegas. And it is wtf packed. Not even a paid spot available, that I pulled into, but was quickly shewed away by armed security in golf cart.

    SO

    When I first pulled in some dude was trying to squeeze into a spot. I thought, " You need to blind that in, never in a million years are you gonna sight side it."

    SO

    While I was being shewed away by armed security, dude gave up.

    SO

    It took me 9 minutes, but now I have a free spot.

    The OM is pleased.

    Major, no epic score at this TA.

    They have all these DVDs. And many are the ones I like / have. And I'm thinking, "Wow. They have a pretty awesome collection here."

    So I'm thumbing through, and behold......

    "The Bridges at Toko Ri"

    This is an EPIC find.

    I took a photo the other day of my truck next to one of theses chromed out 5mpg things and the image kept rattling around in my head.


    Then it came to me. I love pit bulls and my truck.

    Still can’t stop laughing. :D
