I had to run some errands today. Since it was sunny and about 70F, I took Speedy.
Going down the Turnpike through Broward, I came up on a cruiser and thought, "look at that, a Harley guy with a helmet!" as I passed him, I looked over and saw it was a Rocket! we rode together for about six miles before splitting up. That thing can cut through traffic pretty good. (Maybe I was a bad influence - he was playin' nice until I passed him)

Heading back north about an hour later, I was on I-95, and got passed by an America (I was fixing to get off the highway). I changed my mind, and rode up two more exits, just to play in traffic again.

Two Trumpys, one day. :-D

Like I said, I was getting off the interstate, and he blew by, three lanes over. I thought he was a harley at first - had some loud pipes on - but then I saw the 'Triumph' plate on the tank. I 'stealthed' him and then we played for two more exits.

that's great.

the other day i was out on my usual sunday stroll with the bike, and came upon a guy on a thruxton sittting in traffic; while i came upon him lane-splitting, i leaned over and said "nice bike!"

the dude totally didn't know i was there and jumped pretty good! friggin' scared the sh!t out of him by accident. kinda felt bad after that.
nice bike tho.
