Today I'm a lucky Man  Hondo we need an angel Nome up here. So after work the weather is looking good for a spin but cold. I roll out the 84 Z50 and up and down my dead end road I go, well this isn't fixing my need for grip twist so I take out the 85.. Gear on I had for the sound for some pictures and see what the count is on Winter Black Mouth @ the City Launch.. Not good, 20 boat's 2 fish 7 lbs. Any way I take some pictures and head home, round trip about 25 miles. 1 mile from my house I come up to a Left hand turn off this road, speed limit 35 mph. I go 4th to 2nd slowly as this Jeep pulls up and stops. Just as I'm going to commit to the left the rig bolts out in front of me. I hit the brakes, go into a left hand skid dirt bike mode and lay on the horn and stop. This Lady in on her Damn Cell phone. I give her a rash of hand signals, she throws the phone down, both hands up as nothing there and then speeds off. I had my camera but figured getting it out in a high speed chase may end up BAD for me...... I just said thanks to the Angles for having my back and rolled on home.. Here are some pics of the fast and chilly ride.. Stay alert all  |

Man this is stating to sound like the same old tune.  I have a friend who has started riding with multiple cameras mounted and recording on almost every ride just for moments like this. With incidents like this the video gets trimmed down and he includes a short note with all pertinent information and sends it in an email to the appropriate law enforcement agency. I haven't heard if he has gotten anything other than a response acknowledging his email. |

Glad to read you are OK, T/R. Which one of those boats is yours? When does crabbing season start? I should be catching blue point crabs in about 2 weeks down here.

Man, the Nighthawks around here seem to be attracting a lot of the wrong kind of attention (or should I say inattention) from cages lately . Glad your safe. Is this an unusual amount of close calls this year?
