Speaking of motorists throwing crap out the window, ever had this type of cager shower visited upon-you?
I was on my FZR1000 coming home from school this afternoon, and was in traffic on notorious US 1 south of Ft. Lauderdale. Moderate traffic, so I was looking for the spaces in traffic, which is where I like to ride instead of being "one in a line." There is just more exposure when you are sandwiched-in and have no place to go as an escape route if you see the young female in the smashed-up compact start drifting your way across the lane divider, oblivious to the world, except for whoever she's speaking-to on her cellphone (happened earlier in the week) . Well, we all have our similar experiences. A year ago a woman who ran-into me while I was stopped at a light, said, "I was applying my makeup!" as an excuse for rear-ending me!
So, anyway, traffic is lined-up pretty-close together, and I am in the middle of a block of two lanes headed in the same direction. The guy in-front of me in a Japanese coupe starts showing me why he thinks I am "Number One" by displaying his middle finger and jabbering excidedly to his female captive audience riding shotgun. He keeps up the hand gestures and about the only thing he didn't do was suddenly slam-on the brakes. He continues to watch me in his rear-view mirror more than he is watching traffic ahead, so he reaches into his dirty-tricks, and starts washing his windshield, most of which is going over the top of it and is spraying me behind him, quite refreshing! So I cut the lane and passed him to his right before he knew it, and kept on truckin'. Guess he' had a bad day and doesn't like motorcyclists.
So now I have an excuse to skip the Saturday night bath! :biglaugh:
