Yey For Retardation

I attend the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming, and in my town is also a "rival" (more hatred than rivalry) school called WyoTech, a respected school in the mechanical world. Today on my way back to work, my hatred for "techers" was instilled as one of them decided to dart across the road and smack into the side of me in his shitty truck.
Fortunately, there is no damage to the bike and I was able to keep the bike up (somehow) but my leg is now black and blue and my knee is twice its size.

Just a reminder to everyone to always keep your eyes open and your head on a swivel!

Did you take his number? I would have filed a police report. That sounds like the most extreme case of stupidity to me so please tell us your taking some action.

There was a police officer 3 cars behind me so he saw the whole thing. As far as I know the other guy was ticketed for wreckless driving and failure to yield (to oncoming traffic). I turned down the hospital visit because I could walk just fine. I am fine for the most part just sore with bruises

Sounds like a slap on the wrist.

Don't go lightly on this guy or he'll never learn.

I take it you can still ride huh? I've been real busy on the weekends as I'm on call a lot and the rest of the time I've been busy with the family. Anyhow, next time you venture down to the Fort, hit me up. 970-988-8481
Sorry to hear about your mis-hap.
(I dont remember right off if posting phone numbers is frowned upon. If so, please inform me and I'll remove)

Back when I attended Universal Technical, we always cracked jokes about the wyotech bunch. Not that the douche bags in UTI where any better. :/

Got two guys going to UTI working with me right now. Funny thing is, they are examples of the best and the worst kind of people to come out of that place.

One guy is neat, organized, and very careful in his work. Never any problems, and also very good with the customers as well.

The other one is a total slob, and we don't let him anywhere near the tire machine after seeing him on camera snapping the pulley on a harley wheel in half. Yeah, no joke. He took a dirt tire iron to this wheel, and I don't know how the hell he did it but he managed to put so much force on it after just jamming it in there that he was literally lifting himself off the ground. And this guy weighs over 300. Yeah. Gouged the hell out of this dude's rim, and actually snapped one side of the pulley off somehow too. Then tried to pass it off as already being like that when it was brought in. ARE YOU F***ING S***TING ME?!?!?
