Look Twice - save a Life
Well we survived another busy weekend with the highlight being an event in Anderson.
The Motorcycle Awareness Alliance held a poker run with the focus on safety. The title “Look Twice, Save a Life” is more than a great slogan, it should be a way of life. When you are on the road, take an extra second and save a life.
We spent a few hours hanging out with some of the nicest folks you could ever hope to meet…along with one major pain in the ass. Anytme you get a crowd togther there’s a good chance there will be one person who’s opinion of himself is higher than everyone elses. Saturday was no different. A guy in his early 30’s, who has been riding a Harley for less than 2 years, who spent more time picking out his over priced Harley jacket than learning how to spin a wrench on his own bike, and perfecting the art of drinking too much beer became our offical “PIA” (pain in the ass).
He was determined to get a free Rock 101 t-shirt and came up with a creative way to make it happen…….by berating our promotions guy and me. Yep, mister smooth figured out that if you stand there and call people names we will naturally cave it and give him a free shirt. When you mix hops, grain, barley and stupid, you get an insulting drunk with a bad plan. Hope he made it home ok.
Apart from the PIA the remote was great and reminded me its only 4 weeks til the Spring Rally at Myrtle. God help us all.
