Addendum

More Motorcyclists saved from oblivion
I’m in Victor yesterday (Sunday, August 10, 2008) leaving the town-hall parking-lot, boarding site for the Finger Lakes Railway excursion mentioned below.
The parking-lot empties onto State Route 96, the main east-west drag through town.
Across and up the street, a street comes down a hill from a residential area.
89 bazilyun cars have come down the hill, and among the traffic are two bikers.
One is a macho-dude on a metric GeezerGlide, all shiny and red.
The other biker is his sidekick, on a tatty four-in-line Jap crap.
Both bikers pull straight up to Route 96 side-by-side, no signal on either. Where they are is a tee-intersection, so are they turning right or left? —Right is into my path.
But they are straight into the intersection, so it looks like they’re turning left (away from me).
Traffic clears, so I start to move, but both bikers turn right.
WOOPS! Hit the brakes; come to a stop — give the bikers a break.
Macho-dude glares at me as he motors past, like I was some kind of idiotic threat.
Well, EX-KYOOZE ME! Ya know it woulda helped if ya had signaled your turn.

“GeezerGlide” is what I call all cruiser-bikes. My loudmouthed macho brother-in-Boston has a very laid back Harley Davidson ElectraGlide cruiser-bike, and, like many Harley Davidson riders, is over 50 (51). So I call it his GeezerGlide. —A metric GeezerGlide is a Japanese Harley imimation. They use metric bolts.

Harley-riders, like my brother, refer to all Japanese motorcycles as “Jap crap.”
