Last night on the way to the gym, my GS did a very bad thing. When I fill er up today, because of this, GS only gets 89 octane, THAT’S how bad it was.
I was cruising down the rural paved road going pretty slow, had a rough day, just sort of chillin when WHOOSH
A brand spanking new looking HD Soft tail chromed out sailed by me doing about 70, new fringe a flying, Harley bandana on the head, black fringy jacket and no look, just straight ahead.
I told GS "be calm; don't let it upset you!" but did GS listen? "Noooo", I say between clenched teeth, the GS dropped into 5th, then fourth....
"Don’t you DARE accelerate" (going 55 now) GS drops a gear, accelerates.....
Now we are tailing the HD, and he speeds up to lose us...
Now being the responsible GS rider, I applied the brakes, and FORCED
GS to give up the chase and turn the other cheek. The road comes to a "T" go right, you hit dirt, go left behind the HD you stay on pavement; I might add both roads end the same highway. a 1/4 mile apart.
BAD GS...the next thing I know GS has slipped into third, fish tailing over the ruts left by all the farm trucks and tractors, sailing above the ruts, GS accelerates, drops fourth, and hits fifty..."stop that!" I say as we approach 60 "STOP GOD$#$$^N it!" I yell at GS, GS ignores me
At this point, GS is out of control, I'm hanging on for the ride...I had nothing to do with this episode, nothing...
We hit the end of the dirt road in a full sliding turn, ending up at the paved intersection. At this point, I'm scared and afraid to take my hand off the bar to hit the kill switch, GS doesn't even slow down and turns left towards where the Harley should be coming up to the highway. GS hits pavement and drops to 4th "stop it" I yell as we push 60, then seventy GS hits fifth, jump to 80 "not 90" I yell, muffled through my helmet "noooo" I scream as we now approach the intersection that the HD is setting at a stop sign....I waive helplessly at him as we shoot on by... He looks pissed...
Bad, Bad Bad GS... it's not my fault...
