That's right... in my day the best singers had long hair and dressed like women and sang about the devil. Now that was real music... not this jibberish they have these days.

You're a mess!

I'm pretty sure my parents said that about The Andrews Sisters. And I know my grandpa said it about Lawrence Welk.

Tecnically they are supposed to travel no more than five miles an hour faster than the cars. A Co worker got a ticket for lane splitting on his way to work. He was laughing...

"But officer lane splitting is legal..."
"Yeah but not at sixty five when the speed limit is 35"

I am a mirror watcher... I can see one coming for about ten cars back... Most drivers I see will squish over a bit to let em come through. Thats regular commute traffic... But Dang there is always one that cuts it too close and another that doesnt see em.

I never rode motorcycles myself I was always Riding shot gun... only time I ever experienced lane splitting was on a Honda Gold Wing... Heading for the Mule Lip saloon in Colton, to go dancing. I just about had to change my pants when we got through traffic.

That was before there was freeway all the way through ... Stretches of hiway interupted by Stop lights for cross traffic....

Crazy... Dancing was great though....

I am one of those that like it all... When I went in for dental work the dentist asked me What kind of music I liked... "Right Now Metallica" The nurse had a fit of giggling.

Speaking of cars, does anyone watch Adam Ruins Everything? They did an episode on cars and how their invention kind of killed public transport and how we now actually build cities around car needs instead of human needs. And how the dealerships have had super shady laws passed in their favor.

Oh theyd figure a way.... I always drove a standard... Corvair even... The throw on that was a good foot... Or so it seemed... Back before panty hose... YEP...

When I got my first pair of panty hose I could put em on while driving to school... cus it was against the rules to wear a skirt without hose...

Yeah, I learned to drive standard in a Triumph Spider. Then had a peppy little VW Rabbit, then every vehicle afterwards was standard pick up. You can seriously multi task if you time it right. But I never did and never will mess with my phone while driving. Just crazy dangerous imho.

I miss my one ton. We lovingly called it the great white money pit.
Even in that I had a very close call. I was driving on a 4 lane highway with a giant turning lane in the middle because of so many businesses. No raised median.
A complete idiot in a big van decided to flip a U turn putting him DIRECTLY IN MY LANE. I literally stood on the break to avoid hitting him.
My poor foster dog was thrown to the floor so hard it knocked my shifter for 4wheel drive out of position. I had to pull over. That same IDIOT and his family poured out of the van in the parking lot a block further up the road. Seriously! Kids from tween to two and two people with casts on.
The foster dog had a cracked rib and bruising. I don't think I have EVER been madder at another driver.

Yes I chased him down on foot in that parking lot and let him know exactly what I thought of him.

still have mine its got 300K on it and I will be keeping it till I cant drive it any more.... Five speed One is a granny low gear. If I start out in first and give it too much gas it will spin the duallys... Still gets 20 miles per gallon Loaded or unloaded. I still pull the occasional horse trailer and load of hay. Bed is cracked so bad I cant keep tail lights on it. So I had some made on brackets and riveted on with washers...

I had to take off the tail gate because It wouldnt stay on... plan is one day to put a flat bed on and be dun with that truck bed....
