Part 2

The same roomate's (Billy) Harley broke down a few months before he took it to the machine shop. We were on our way back from a bar, after an afternoon of playing pool and having a few beers out in the country where we lived.

Instead of graciously accepting a ride on my Yamaha 1100.....Billy insulted me by insisting on sitting on the seat backwards......game on. <G>

Willing to oblige Billy's sense of adventure and give him a taste of the techniques I used while racing Moto Cross over the years....we were off.

It was only a few miles back to the house, but as we neared each intersection, Billy would start to yell, curse and try to get off. Instead, I ran EVERY stop sign....while shifting violently and braking hard.......which basically scared the shit out of him.

When we got back to the house he jumped off and began to curse in a steady stream all the while trying to take off his $5 helmet. When he finally removed it, he slammed it on the pavement so hard.....the helmet broke in half. <G>
