Conversation at the Stop Light

I’m a sticker guy!  No stickers on any of my cars, but several on the RT.  Turns out they are great conversation starters and in a recent case, almost a conversation stopper.  About a week ago while I was waiting at a stop light, a rusty old van with a couple of inbreds rolled up next to me.  By their demeanor I knew this wasn’t going to turn out well.

Good Old Boy:  “I don’t like them stickers on your motorsickle!”

Me:  “I am amazed you can speak, let alone read!  By the way, I really enjoyed you in Deliverance, you are one heck of a banjo picker!

Always believing there is a God, I now know how Moses felt when the Red Sea parted.  For at that very moment the light turned green and I was away in a flash.

    …hurry up! I hear banjo!

    HAHA

    I have had a few not so nice comments about my patches and stickers, but oh well. An advantage of riding a motorcycle is that they accelerate a lot faster that cages driven by banjo players.

    BTW, I think your bike needs more stickers. :-D

    I guess he wasn’t a fan of the H.A.N.S device? The fact they were in a van speaks volumes.

    The most amazing part is that he actually thought you gave a crap what he thinks about anything :)

    I like stickers too. I put them all over the inside of our garage door as a nice reminder of the places we’ve been.
