I sometimes think about my buddy I worked with over 30 years ago when we were part time college grunts. My buddy outfitted his vehicle with two water canons that fired at a 45 degree arc from both sides of his back license plate, and was controlled by a button on his dash. No doubt highly illegal and maybe a little dangerous, so he only used this 'weapon' against his friends. I like to believe he was comforted, however, knowing he was just the push of a button away from cleaning the windshield of a jackass behind him - but chose to keep that knowledge to himself. I have always wanted to install these water canons, but alas, I was a business grad and he an electrician/jack of all trades.DaBladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160781062081889980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-515770267161643682014-05-17T23:00:00.074-05:002014-05-17T23:00:00.074-05:00Truckers do it all the time and most don't hav...Truckers do it all the time and most don't have a choice. <br /><br />The first time I drove a car with a cruise control, I didn't like it. I felt a little out of control, even though a quick tap on the brake, or push of a button could disable the device...or could it?

The lack of respect and diligence is reflected in their view of motorcycles. <br /><br />When you add the specific things involved with motorcycle riding, such as tougher conditions in high winds and reduced handling with bad road conditions, the rider's journey is further imperiled by ignorant drivers.

...Two and a half things.<br />Slower traffic stay right.<br />Leave enough room in front.<br />For the half, watch for motorcycles. <br />I think it is because since motorcycles are not shaped like a car or truck the mind does not register.<br />I have had drivers look right at me and not see me on the bike. <br />Bet every motorcycle driver has had this done to them.jon spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886632644249920124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-29437145218148549432014-05-16T21:10:59.886-05:002014-05-16T21:10:59.886-05:00It's a little different in my redneck of the w...It's a little different in my redneck of the woods. When I leave the highway without hitting a state route I'm on a county road...we don't have feeders here. County roads are just glorified wild animal trails that were turned into "roads" during the depression era.
