That musical group, salt and pepper could sure lay down some good licks

I briefly met them in Cleveland in the '90's. I was visiting a music distributor to pick up a box of promos and they cruised in like they owned the place. Which was fair enough, since they kinda did.

Bicycle riding is a lot like flying when you're bombing down a mountain. It's a lot like effing work trying to get UP said mountain.

So there we were... buddy of mine and I were at *just* about the crest of Mt Vesuvius outside Charlottesville when a guy 2-up on a Hardley HAS to pass us. He hammered on the throttle to the corner then grabbed fistfuls of brakes. My buddy and I were on knobby tires at the end of a several (3? 4? I forget) hour ride at that point when we ended up on this guy's rear fender in the bend. We were pedaling relatively hard, but not all out.

Gets out of the 'tiptoe around the corner' zone and hammers on the throttle again. Right until the next corner when he grabs fistfuls of brake to tiptoe around the corner. Where my buddy and I end up on his fender again. ...and again. ...and again.

That lasted the whole way down Mt Vesuvius till he hit the last corner and hammered on the throttle again.

Had a similar situation happen on the Tail of the Dragon one moto trip. Riding to a buddy's house on the other side of TN when I figured I'd make a 'long cut' across the Tail of the Dragon.' I'm on my BMW GS-Adv and catch up to a gaggle of Hardleys. They're HAMMERING into the straight and grabbing fistfuls of brake in the corners, slowing WAY down to tiptoe to the exit of the corner where they HAMMER on the throttle... I was hoping there was a passing zone, so I tried to stay close the first few corners. Nope. They did the same thing all 318 corners over the 11mi so after those first few corners I stuck it in 3rd and rolled on gently and rolled off gently and caught up to them EVERY corner.

I've been caught behind more than one gaggle of Hardleys over the years. They're much more frustrating than being caught behind cyclists. The cyclists you can get past relatively quickly. Gaggles of Hardleys? You're stuck following them at 5-10 under the speed limit for miles and miles. Nope. I'd rather meet a group of cyclists on the road any time.

Semis passing on the interstate at 70mph are equally obnoxious. Get 70 cars lined up while they take 20 miles to pass two trucks going 2 mph slower than them.

which leads to impatient SOBs jamming up the right lane then forcing their way in to the left lane string of cars, making things worse.

...but they 'got ahead' so they're happy

Well she has a better chin beard than @Bender, she wears makeup better than @akmike47 but she's a little underweight for @Dirty D

I don't understand why people don't appreciate her dancing.


No, bitch. “We” don’t have any work to be done. You have a lot of work to be done on your diet and exercise plan.
 
I had a friend with border mix we found dumped. She would smile like that at people she liked. She would also show teeth at people she didn't and it was easy to tell which was which.
My Chocolate would say "I love you" to some people and "Fuck You" to others (clearly enunciated) and when asked, I would say he said "Thank You" They knew what he said.
