    That would have not gone well. Good chance that he would be flying back out the door with .45 hole in his chest.

    Big dollar paint job is what confused me about this bike. I know if was was sheriff's department bike in Lee county because the title is branded and it still has a tag in the frame. I imagine it would have just been plain white. It's got a TON of pearl in it.....looks electric blue in the right light. The only thing I can think of is the first flake job I sprayed. I cut so much flake on a gram scale I felt like a drug dealer but the paint job was only okay at best. Maybe this was a similar situation. 15786870547291844851067188207710.jpg
    No denying this was actually a police bike lol

    Hey swamped, good to see you back.
    Sometimes you just gotta decompress.
    Nothing wrong with that.

    Sounds like it was an adventure.
    Should have been on one of them high dollar adventure bikes.

    I would get out then get angry.
    Gives them no chance to run.

    But once my calm is removed, the Scot and Irish comes out

    I don't know much about the Irish but @otterinthewater once said something to the effect of his wife is part Irish and tried to get him drunk to beat him up lol. I think it was @otterinthewater that said that because he told me that with my wife being Puerto Rican there was no point because my murder was already planned lol

    I was looking at some of the aerial footage from the wreck and it looks like that sleeper was opened up like a tin can. I am sure it was terrible for everyone involved. It really would suck to be driving down the road and see a bus full of people laying on its side straddling the highway. My guess is the Fed Ex and both UPS trucks did everything they possibly could to avoid impact. With the concrete barrier on the left and possibly bus passengers on the right my guess is that it was unavoidable. Were you at the Harpa location?

    Irish get drunk and fight for fun.
    Scottish are territorial and grumpy when provoked.
