weird

I saw a guy try and ride one of those mini crotch rockets through a spangles drive through-- he dumped his drink, and lost his bag twice before he even got out of the parking lot.

I have seen a man on a Vespa buy three large U-Haul boxes and go on to the 2nd busiest road in the city while holding these boxes in one hand and driving with the other with no helmet.

I tried to convince him that we can hold the boxes until he comes back with a car of sorts but he just brushed me off and rode out of the parking lot.

A month later I heard that he got in an accident where he died from head trauma and one of his boxes had caused a small school bus full of kindergartners to jerk off the road and into a parked semi causing several injuries to the children and driver.

I'd hate to lose my bag once, let alone twice. Especially driving a mini crotch rocket. LOL

Hybris, your post is a good argument that evolution does exist.

Evolution is alive and well and comes in all shapes and sizes weather it's a mini crotch rocket or a full size vehicle your gonna idiots driving them. This is a good start for a laugh or a cringe. The Darwin Awards

Too bad they have laws for seatbelts and helmets-- we'd have more award winners.

You think that's weird? Try riding a mini 60cc three wheeler at night around a corner only to be met by two Wichita PD officers on foot. I don't remember much of what was said by the older officer, I'm sure it was along the lines of "are you stupid?", and the younger officer was trying hard not to laugh. Luckily they let me off since I was only a few feet from the garage. I'm sure they had more important issues to deal with given they were walking down the street at night.

First and only time I've ever been pulled over by an officer on foot.

mom and dad were gone for a few days, we had a 350 yamaha 4 wheeler, it would turn corners fairly well, I took it down to the pasture and started cutting kitties with it. It kept wanting to to tip over, so I thought I would be smart and stand on the inside foot pedal, and put all my weight on it that way..
It worked great for a while.. till the tire grabbed hold, and it quickly went to its side, launching me about 10 foot in the air. I was never worried about the landing, or getting hurt, I was worried about if there was going to be damage to the 4wheeler.

We used to water ski behind my pickup down the long Italian beaches. Even parasailed once from the back of the truck.. then back into the back of the truck. Was allot of fun. Sold the truck and bought a Sazuki-- it wouldn't pull a skier.

Tried riding an ostrich once--- but i think they kinda have to want to be ridden. In the dark, in a feild, is just not the place to try and teach one who's Boss. Because I didn't like the answer.

I also peed on the Coliseum once. (Lets just say I used to drink a smidge.)
