Full moon and all folks out here drive with there head some place. Picked up my Valve cover gasket and bolt gaskets and had a few dudes drooling over the Blue 85  super     Owner said Jimbo, nice find.. The dudes were doing a 4 month ride after finishing collage, what hoot there having. 20,000 miles when done. Tomorrow there off to Canada. There from Main area I guess, OK LONG WINDED.

So I get on the free way, far left lane, car pool and bikes. I'm cruising about 65 and my lane ends and goes to normal lane. I'm always looking to make sure NOT to get in the blind spot of a full size pick up. In front of him is a semi rig, I figure I'd better get by and be safe. Just as I hit the grip he blast left  bugey I get off the gas, hit the horn and starts looking around, WHAT WHAT. Then sees Me with my left arm in the air backing off. As I right this the scanner is talking about a cycle rider down with car, full moon.

Any ways he shoots up, no place to go, falls back to behind the big rig again. I ride up next to him and give him the index finger to thumb sign, and yell that was to close. Shake my head and ride home that last few miles with big eye's.  

So watch out all, Sunday it was 2 girls just old enough to drive, about pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and thumbed that horn.. Tomorrow me and a buddy will be taking off from work early and riding to the Canadian border and back. Should eat up the rest of the day and weather is looking good..
