| lost many "cool points" yesterday We had a GREAT weekend of riding! I rode the blade all day Saturday and the RC51 Sunday. The 51 really cornered well. I think the 51 will be the bike I track.
Anyway on the to the topic of the subject line. As we are rolling up to a stop, I see a buddies right puck is loose, so I come along side him at the stop and push it back on  as I do so, my foot slips and I almost fall over into his bike. This would have made 3 bikes fall over
Man I would have been toast!  |

On a related note, while we were eating lunch, they told me about a ride earlier where they were at a rest stop we use and a highway patrol rolls up and stops. The guy asks them where they ride. Nobody wants to say...anyhow, after a while they find out this guy rides...(someone in the group flashed their badge as well) The HP says, "ride and I'll follow you. Youve got a free ticket/etc.." So the ride and he follows in the black&white. Theyre tearing through curves and people are flashing and waving warnings at them about the HP behind them
Wish I had made THAT ride
