Can’t get to sleep tonight. Tried, then ended up watching a very old flick with James Caan as a Submarine Training officer on the British super secret X mini subs. It was said to be the precursor movie genre to bring on the likes of “The Hunt for Red October”.
Back to no sleep.
I had to make a long drive today over to Wickenburg to pick up some things we needed here in Mesa.
On the way, I was traveling in the HOV lane at the stated speed limit of 70 mph on I-17 north.
All of a sudden, a sport bike with two up and her hanging on because she almost got dumped, this bike’s idiot driver jumps out of the lane or three he was in, it was not the lane beside me, he came out of the 2 or 3 lanes over to the right.
He pops up in front of me so close that I almost rear ended him. I slam on the brakes so hard the ABS kicks in. Even at 45-50 mph he pulls the throttle so hard that the front wheel lifts up clearing the ground just a bit, slams down and lifts up again, then levels out.
His girl friend nearly slid off the back of that bike. I was scared she would fall and started for the left berm.
While this was going on, I held down on the horn to let him know his/her life was in peril.
Then he rides along at 55 mph for maybe 3 miles before pulling back over to the right and letting the HOV lane of traffic go on.
I wanted to stop him and ring his stupid neck.
