Why me?

Yet another wierd incident on the road today.

I stop to get some liquid gold, aka petrol, and a coffee about half way into my run this morning, fiddle about with my new gps for a while - then get kitted up and leave. I get a couple of hundred meters down the road when I realise that I have to pull over to erm... adjust myself to a more comfortable layout. :blush:

For some reason I just happen to glance in the right hand mirror only to see a taxi pulling over behind me. Okay no problems, he's going pretty slow but it doesn't seem to me that he's gonna stop in time without a sudden change in his deceleration. I'm watching this and weighing up leaving the "adjustment" for the time being and pull off. Next thing I see is a loose wheel appear from behind the taxi. $#%@^@! he's only got three tyres on the ground.
Hand out of pants and on the gas, clutch in, first gear and dump the clutch leaving a nice black stripe on the tar. Didn't even look back - just got the hell outta there. :silent:

From now on, make the choice,
hands in pants , or ride the bike, not both at once.

Wow lucky you were watching him. I always make a special point of thinking the unthinkable when I see a taxi :tongue:

Why were your hands in your pants?

Too much information. To quote an old preacher at one of those tent revivals, "Don't believes I'd a told that, brutha."
