    came around a corner one day, and found a car door in the road... A CAR DOOR. Turns out a couple miles ahead, there was a beat up pickup with scrap metal going to the junkyard with nothing tied down. Lesson, if you come across a car door, stop and pick it up. you may have a chance to return the favor just up ahead.

    While on vacation last summer in Oklahoma I had a piece of concrete from the road fly past me. I was rolling about 85mph when the car in front of me kicked it up. I only saw it for a brief moment but I swear it was the size of a trash can lid and about 3 inches thick.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    How about a small boulder, stuck between the two rear tires of a tri-axle, going 70mph down the highway.
    But the "best"? was a horse walking in the middle of the road at night!

    Yeah. no kidding. I like to ride the parkway, but this time of year I stay off the darn thing. Seems like riders killed up there every day for just exactly what you are saying.

    In the HOV lane........

    There are PVC pylons about 36" high, so if on a bike (like I was that busy afternoon) riding about 75mph, there really is no safe escape. I see a pickup (same speed) in the normal traffic side with a round lid from a Igloo water jug flailing about in the bed. Yep...............it broke loose and came whizzing passed me. That coulda hurt.

    Is your f6 actually blue or is that the lighting in the photo because I really like that color?

    It's blue, depending on how you look at it too. Actually I'm all about RED but this was different so, it came home with me.

    That blue paint job looks very nice.
