or in this case a truck and bike
when i lived back on the east coast i stopped riding because ppl did not pay attention and i had to many friends that were involved in car/bike related accidents
so just recently i started to ride again now that im out west so far no problems on the highways and or in town
but yesterday i was on my friends Yamaha r6 that he just got and he let me take it out anyways i take a nice lil ride threw town and then decide to head out to my friends farm since the road its on is a nice road to ride.
anyways im cruising along at 5 over the speed limit 55, and this full size truck ends up behind me , this guys was literally so close to me i could have turned and reached back and smacked the front of his truck.
so i kick it up to 75 for just a second to put some distance between me and the truck then slow down back down to 60ish and here comes mister a hole right back up behind me again . at this point im getting really nervous as i dont have on a helmet and the guy just wouldnt back off , speeding up just resulted in him speeding up as well . both shoulders on the road are tall grass/sand or large stone so pulling into the soft shoulder at speed is not an option
so i start slowing down so i can pull off without risking dumping my friends bike and the guy just lays into his horn and dam near hits me. so i just keep on going knowing a mile or 2 up the road theres a paved shoulder i can pull off onto
eventually i make it and pull off and the guy drives by flippin me the finger and blowin the horn like im the a hole
there was a 2 times i tried to slow down and wave him around me and he would not pass me
anyways guys if ur in ur car and u come up on somebody on a bike give them some friggen room i just cant belive how dumb some ppl can be when it come to stuff like that
i was just praying the whole time a cop would drive past going the other way
luckily im not in my younger stupid days were id prolly would have stopped in the middle of the road and tried to drag the guy out of his truck
