Three Harley riders are going over a twisting mountain pass near Prescott AZ. Three pickup trucks drive up behind them. All vehicles are then going 10MPH slower than the already too slow(personal opinion) posted speed limit of said mountain road because it's painfully obvious that at least two of the three motorcyclists are not very adept at riding big fat lumbering kinds of motorcycles.(two of the three severely lowered, and equiped with "ape-hanger"-style handlebars, BTW)

This lineup of vehicles covers six or seven miles of road surface in this configuration, and yet none of the Harley riders move over for the trucks to pass.

Finally after a straight portion of road comes along and the broken yellow line appears for passing manuevers, and as the first pickup truck driver starts to pass said Harley riders, the last Harley rider in line flips off the driver of the first pickup truck as he passes them. The second pickup driver[that's me] notices this response from said Harley rider just as he starts to also pass said motorcyclists. The second pickup truck driver[once again, that's me] just shakes his head and starts to ponder the following thought:

IF one can NOT ride a big fat lumbering Harley-Davidson motorcycle over a twisting mountain road faster than even a bigger, fatter and even more lumbering pickup truck can be driven over the same twisting mountain road, then maybe the rider of said big fat lumbering motorcycle should either investigate the possibility of trading in said big fat lumbering motorcycle for one a little more nimble and that can actually handle that particular kind of road(possibly a certain british brand), or maybe said motorcyclists should consider signing up for some motorcycle riding courses in which to hone their riding skills, OR maybe said motorcyclists should just consider the possibility that they are NOT THE ONLY FREAKIN' PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET AND SHOULD JUST MOVE THE F*** OVER SO PEOPLE CAN PASS 'EM!!!!!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
