Riding down the road at 70 mph, you glance down at your front wheel as something catches your eye, a 16 oz plastic pop bottle, empty of contents and lying parallel with the tire, thrown there by an obvious non tree hugger slob.

Do ya think if I had been 2 inches to the right and caught that bottle it would have shifted my front end over while it was lifting my front wheel off the ground? The thought of that kind of change in direction at speed just a momentary chill down the spine don't ya know.



I'm ashamed to say that I actually ran over one yesterday while cruising down a perfectly straight stretch of unobstructed highway. I must have been completly in a fog. That SOB popped like a shotgun. It rattled me so badly that I had to turn around to see what it was. Needless to say, I remained awake ans allert for the remainder of the ride.
