Sunday here in western PA was gorgeous!!! Was out riding and stopped by friends of mines place to agitate them on their xmas decorations. Wife called and told me wally mart was having a sale on flat panel tv's. Wanted me to come up and take a look. So, I go up and we grabbed a nice 46 inch high def unit. Love the picture on 1080 resolution!!! Anyways, while going thru the wally world parking lot, some dumb broad pulls out in front of me without even looking. I instinctively hit the brakes (was in 2nd gear) and felt the rear wheel slide to the right, I corrected and then slid left. Then the bike straightened out.
Happened so fast!!! I didn't drop the bike and quite frankly, don't even know what I did to keep it straight and up. I do remember beeping the horn and let loose with a plethora of 4-letter words!!!! And I also remember for the next five minutes how jumpy I was and pretty much shaking all over. If I had not been paying attention, I would have been an ornament on a cream colored SUV.
So, those of you riding doing some shopping for the holiday season, watch out for the idiots because they could care less about you.
