Man, that bike probably reached terminal velocity.

Ouch!!

In the rider's defense, it's easy to forget the hard cases stick out further than the rest of the bike.

I have never caught mine like that, but B had an indecent with a Hyper that could have ended very badly.

Seeing this made me wonder how the video happened.  ???

---------------------------------------------------------
<Ring Ring>

BBI - "Bubba's Boat Insurance, how may I help you?"

Sailor Jim - "I insure my boat with you, and need to make a claim."

BBI - "Oh my, what happened?"

Sailor Jim -"My boat got hit by a motorcycle."

<Crickets>

BBI - "I'm sorry sir, it sounded like you said your boat got hit by a motorcycle."
BBI - "But that's just silly, we must have a bad connection"

He is lucky he wasn't keeled, but I'll bet he got a good stern talking to.



I'll bow out now.
