Haha that's good PBO.

Last summer I was coming home on a backroad, putzing for once on the bike. I see a headlight in my mirror, ok I'm thinking, dude wants to roll with me. So then he passes me.
Ok he wants to go by....... nope he proceeds to pull out his Blackberry and start texting with his clutch hand.

This is at night. This is on a road that is overflowing with deer, fox, turkeys, possum, raccoon, you name it. But all the while he is slowing down, apparently trying to ruffle my feathers. I'm thinking.. this guy can't be serious. Oh he was, and was obviously trying to impress me and/or whatever other form of wildlife that might bear witness to his awesomeness. I entertained the idea of rolling alongside and knocking the toy from his neanderthal hand. Better judgement prevailed however, and I simply passed the steam-powered-weekend-badass-poser. I then got up to 80ish, with a bit of distance in between, and locked the rear. Actually pitched it a bit, dirt-track style.

Guess what he had to grab, and guess what he had to drop to do it.... that's right the clutch, and the phone.

I then made a very effective depart by diving in the left lane as he went by and did the quickest U turn in history... I don't know if he pursued. All I cared about was the critters..

Yeah I may have maimed him (I didn't) but I may have saved his stupid ass at some point in the future.... he learned a valuable lesson. And yeah sometimes you gotta be a bit of an arrogant jackass to do it.

And I have truly seen it all......
