You're riding down the road behind WHAT? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|

Took a little 2-lane blacktop ride on the scoot earlier this week and found myself stuck behind a garbage truck with no opportunity to pass. Stank like . . . well . . . garbage. All sorts of foam packing and other material was blowing out of the top of it affording me plenty of opportunities to play dodge 'em. Lots of slime dripping out of the back of the thing. Generally a disgusting mess. Well, I backed off about a quarter mile until I could find an alternate route and get on down the road. But it got me to thinking about other "stuff" I don't like to follow down the road. I think a definitive list is in order. Contributions? I don't like to follow:
Garbage Trucks
Cattle Trucks
Sand, Gravel, or Rock trucks
Hay Wagons
Tractors dragging any sort of Farm Implement
Recreational Vehicles with overflowing/dripping sewage tanks
Recreational Vehicles without overflowing/dripping sewage tanks
Puking Drunks
Non-Puking Drunks
Beer Can Throwing Drunks
Anyone talking on a Cell Phone
Rural Mail Delivery Service Vehicles
A Log Truck
A Landscaping Service Truck hauling a wood chipper
A Landscaping Service Truck not hauling a wood chipper but hauling a load of wood chips
The Porta Potty Man
The Honey Pot Man
The Truck that delivers the slaughter house floor sweepings to the dog food factory
The Police
Any Road Repair Crew
A Roofer hauling a load of old shingles and roofing nails
A Roofer hauling a steaming pot of tar
Oh, and Harleys. I hate following Harleys.
Whew. I think I could go on like this all day. Beats me how I ever manage to get a ride in with all these obstacles on the road.
Anyway - anything you guys would like to add to this list?

Man...don't you just love it when you're following a road train full of livestock and you get a shower then look up and the sky is blue

I don't like being behind any truck, especially tractor trailers

I disagree though about being behind a drunk. I'd rather be behind one than riding in front of one any day. Also.....did you include Bluehairs? those I don't want to be anywhere around!

That is not even in the realm of anything I would  want to contemplate!
