wow - gentrification taking place, and i didn't even realize it. my bad! when i was a kid, dc was about 75% black... agreed it's unrelated to who's riding w/o helmets, and if the bikes are stolen or not, regardless of who's doing the stealing...

WELL KNOW FACT: Your LAME joke is based on things that are almost 30 years out of date. Are you so unimaginative that you can't come up with any new material and are stuck wallowing in your outdated parroted ?

Guy I know did Rolling Thunder from Cali to the Wall. I admire the sentiment and all being about as patriotic a guy as you'll find, but was boasting about riding 3000 miles, 2 seconds behind the bike in front of you, 80 miles at a time. Not for me.

And, as John Prine sings, "Your Flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore."

Instincts take over as the supercomputer between my ears starts calculating the odds and where I'm likely to end up. First, look for a way to avoid, if no escape is available, stand the bitch up while hitting the binders.

Also the pressure of my sphincter squeezing would be approaching infinity.

The second pic appears to show possible clear tracks not available in the first pic.

What would you do?

If the pressure of your sphincter squeezing does in fact reach infinity, does it form a black hole?

I'd do the same thing, without the benefit of a supercomputer between my ears. Actually, it's more like a 1981 calculator watch. First, try to find a path through, otherwise stand the bike up and trust the ABS and hope there's no vehicles in the opposite lane.

Maybe the joke is 205 but I thought it was funny.

But then I think Harleys and their owners are funny too.

My Harley and I are really funny......You should hear us do the A&C "Who's on first" bit. If things are really rocking we'll sometimes do the C&C " Dave's not here!" routine. Every now and again if the mood is right I play Fred Sanford and the bike does Aunt Esther...Brings down the house every time.
