LOST my passenger seat

[z06boy]

I was riding down the street the other day and thought about this thread and since I had my seat off earlier that day reached behind me and pressed down on the front of the rear seat...just to make sure.

The wife following me on her bike asked later what I was doing and I told her about the thread. She's glad I checked because if it flew off it may have hit her.

Yep, stupid fucking law.

I saved a military guys ass a few years back. I was leaving a bar and looked across the street to see a car running and a guy sitting in the drivers seat with his head down. Walked over and dude was passed out behind the wheel. Saw the base stickers on his car. Not about to let a military guy get a DUI for sleeping in his car. I offered to drive him home, but he said he couldn't leave his car there. I told him to get in the backseat and get the keys out of the ignition, which he did. No clue if he stayed there till he sobered up or not, but I hope he did. Dude looked really fucking scared when I told him he could ruin his career if he got a DUI, so I imagine he paid attention and stayed in the back of the car till he sobered up.

You can be SURE i'll be checkin and double checkin that thing now. Sucks when you have to put money into your bike out of neglegence, whether it be a rusty chain, warped rotors from bad pads, or something as silly as not clickin your passenger seat.

Well im sure my friend was planning on driving home. he was eating beef jerky and passed out or something. but that was a good deed, capn. I avoided getting a DUI once solely because of the fact i was not in my car and did not have keys in the ignition, and the cops showed up while i wasnt behind the wheel, so it can work for you sometimes i guess (My hood unlatched on the express way and nailed my windsheld, smashed it to bits. They gave me a ride home and a nice lecture). all in all i considered that a gift from god and a second chance.

Wow, awful damn nice of them. Bummer about the seat, but maybe that's a simple warning to make sure you go over everything before getting on the road to Indy.

Very possible. I remember when I was underage and came back home. Went to a bar and showed my military ID. Dude at the bar said, "I don't care how old you are, if you can serve, you can drink." Which I fully agree with, btw.
