I had a Katana (long ago) which is a little slower than Tod's bike he mentioned. One day, I was riding when a motorhome came in my lane w/o seeing me & I had to squeeze on the sidewalk to aviod it (luckily there was an access to get on it in time). I got back on the road & proceeded to follow the huge motorhome so I could tell the driver he almost waxed me.... it was an old man (probably about 80) who had on glasses & hearing aids... we rolled up to the light together... I said: "Hey! you almost killed me & did not even see me"... he could not hear me!!! So I shouted it again.... "Hey!!!" he looked over at me & sqiunted his eyes putting his hand against his ear & said: "huh?" I gave up & sold that thing when I had my first born. (then I busted my arms on a little scooter 5 years later)

Here is the question I ask since then: Just how the hell is an old man who can't HEAR or SEE doing driving a damn motorhome that is 10 times bigger than a normal vechile???? I mean, am i the only person who thinks that is JUST WRONG??? I respect the elderly, but I was going to kill that guy... talk about dangerous.

PS- Tillman probably DID vote for Obama.
