Trucker Forum - Trucking & Driving Forums - Class A Drivers

Yup, I hear ya. New Hampshire has the most motorcycles per capita anywhere in the US so people are very much aware. Loud pipes tend to make your presence known also!!!

I use to teach the advanced rider safety program like jumping over 2x4's and how to fall down. The one thing I impressed upon them was that you really have to survive the learning experience by those close calls. Your mother can tell you over and over that you'll get burned but until you do, it just doesn't become automatic.

And, by the way ladies. You had the highest percentage passing rate in all motorcycle classes. Beginner, intermediate and advanced. Why you ask? Because you followed directions.

My goodness Steve....is there anything you HAVENT done?? :shock: :lol: You never cease to amaze me with all the stuff you have done and you are NOT that old.....yet.... :wink:

I only did it for one class while my buddy was in the hospital. He actually didn't follow his own teachings when a car pulled out in front of him. He put the bike into a sideways skip but didn't lay it down and push it away. He stayed with the bike and upright and his leg was crushed. I was right behind him. He lost the the leg. He got up and started walking around and didn't stop laughing. We had to hold him down on the ground. He was delirious. It was really weird.

Nah...he didn't do any of those things, he just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express...that's all :D

Me however....I invented the internet. My next plan is to end global warming by getting everyone to turn their AC to high.

A minute later it started to hurt then he was screaming and crying. We all ran home. Didn't see him for many years after that. I guess he almost lost his hand and thanked us all for running away. Then we hooked up again.

The lot that I plow is just south of Muirkirk Rd in Laurel, and I've done a few jobs down there as well, and I agree, no way would I ride a bike down there either.

I'm sitting in the T/A in Albert Lea Minnesota and this has to be the biggest store I've ever seen. You can do your Christmas shopping right here for your whole family. This must be truck drivers heaven. Package after package of salami, pepperoni, beef jerky, cheese, bacon, smoked this, smoked that and all made locally plus one of those ice cream places that chops up what ever you want into the ice cream!!
