TT TBSS does wheel stand

I ain't gonna lie, I read the caption Trailblazer wheel stand, and I'm sitting here at work I said BULLSH!T out loud!  That's pretty impressive!  Is that a plastic body?  The hookup is damned impressive! 

Now while we are sharing stories, I was riding home on an old country two lane highway that is frequented by bikers.  The road is pretty abandoned and ends at a Ferry.  The only way across the Mississippi is via the ferry.  I was on the gas, running about 70 in a 55 when I passed a county boy going the other way.  It's a two lane road, and not many places to turn around.  I saw him hit the brakes as I went by, so I knew he was coming.  I pulled over and sat there thinking about all the hell I was gonna hear from momma when she finds out I got another ticket.  I was just sitting there when he rolled up behind me.   He said "Damn, I just knew you were going to make me chase you", I told him that I wouldn't ever run from the law.  In my mind I knew there wasn't anywhere to go, I sure as hell wasn't going to sit down at the ferry with everyone watching as I get a ticket.  I said I was just hot footin' out here in the country, trying to get back for dinner.  He asked me about the bike, I told him what it was.  He explained to me that getting home alive for dinner was more important.  I said yes sir (he was younger than me), he smiled and got back in the cruiser.  True story, never forget it.

Only "race" I've ever been in on my C-10, I lost.

To a Ferrari Testarossa.

When I hit 120, I couldn't go any faster, and he kept accelerating.

It was, you can automatically assume such whenever you see me mention 'R' stickers.

Thank goodness.  I was a bit worried over that statement but then I realized you have a Jetta.   :rotflmao:    I can't talk much as I have a Prius but what the heck, eh?

That's right! Besides, we more than make up for it with our superior colored C14s!

I think I've been passed by two cages in my life. They paid the price in the long run. Nobody comes around the Jman. Nobody. 8)

   Ya'll can joke about an "R" its not gonna beat a C-14 ,but I have moved to 140 MPH and still pulling well in my 2004 R32.....real R here....and its a hell of lot less frightening than the same on a bike...only have done 130..well 2-up not scary but impressive and time to slow down as was 140 in the R.

What's the point in doing it in a cage?
