Yesterday I was just cruising down this two lane road in a farming area, (I wouldn't do this in the city) the road is a straight shot about 5 miles long.
I see these headlights in the rear view mirror approaching, they get closer and it is a group of four Harley bikers right on my tail. There is this hay truck that just pulls in front of me, I couldn't pass because there were a couple cars comming in the opposite direction, as luck would have it, the cars pass and the truck turns off the road, I thought do I, or don't I????
I dood it. So knowing that these bikers probably would pass me, I downshifted to second. Off I go, (give me a break I have been driving a chevy pickup for 8 years) anyway, I caught the bikers by surprise, they hit it just as I did, 20,30,40,50, watching my rpms, shifting to 3rd, bikers still behind me, they did not attempt to pass, hit 100, Bikers about 20 feet behind me keeping up rather well, stop sign comming up, we stop. I can see the two front bikers smiling and talking to each other like they were saying, that was cool. Anyway They gave me the thumbs up while I was turning on my street. yeah I know they could have whooped me if they wanted. But it was fun!
