PC: Sharing The Joy, "Several Guys Owe Me Lunch" Options

[SLITS]

Ok, I've read Old Joe Sharp's and Toast's account of my encounter with the Ventura Sheriff and have been insulted by the Arizona chapter about "sharing a cell with Brad", So maybe it's time to give the account from my eyes and ears....

Friday Nite...WCC2005....Joe Sharp's Rolling Brothel and Tequila Storage Facility Motorhome.....I must have drank most of the ToKillYa.

Saturday Morn...."How did I get here?"....Any information is welcome. No Pics please..The view from my eyes is REALLY bad.

Poker Run.....Old Joe starts out behind me in his beautimous sixer chasing Der Weisze Bandit mit the mighty four. He is unable to gain much on me as we roll down the highway and start the twisties and at that point I lose contact with him in the mirrors.

I come upon a line of teeners and proceed to make an outside pass. No problems...Jason in the Otto's Bumblebee takes offense and gives chase. Old Joe is nowhere in sight. We continue and Jason almost misses one of the required turns as I brake hard for an uphill righthander. Where's Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

We are now rolling thru the "Land of Money I will never have" when we come upon a straight with a "Student Driver" in the lead of a sixer. A quick decision is made that the two car pass will present no problems setting up for the 90 degree left hander I can see in the distance....so one gear down...foot to the floor...I make the pass and kick it into 5th the Tachometer hits 5200 rpm as I drop back in. I'm setting the line I'm going to take as I see the odd colored domestic sedan hiding behind a bush and go hard on the brakes. Just a tad to late as I make the 90 degree. So I'm busted and find the nearest MBZ driveway to pull into and shut the Bandit off awaiting the arrival of the Blue Meanies.

I am assembling the necessary papers as the BM approached from the rear. At reaching the door, the following conversation occurs:

BM....Give me a reason for not arresting you and impounding your car (very loud voice)

Slits...Ummm, I don't have one.

BM...Do you know how fast you were going?

Slits...Not really, but I was in the lead (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

BM...We take reckless driving very seriously here because of the Bicyclists.

Slits...I was watching for them and didn't hit any.

BM...Give me a reason for not impounding your car!

Slits....I don't have one.

BM....No narrative here as it was a 10-15 minute scalding of reckless driving, high speed, bicyclists problems they were having and a general dressing down. I held my head in the appropriate position indicating submission (it was really hurting from the ToKillYa and I didn't want him to see my eyes closed).

Slits...15 minutes later...Yes Sir, I understand your postion and am willing to suffer the consequences. Would you like me to step out of the car so you can handcuff me?

BM....No, wait here

Slits...I hadn't planned on going anywhere.

Intermission...background sounds of radio calls, birds chirping and other teeners motoring by with a horn honk here and there.

BM....Well you seem like a good guy, so I have written this citation for 80 in a 55 which will help you a bit on the fine amount. This is a 40 zone and I am not a Highway Patrolman.

Slits...I am eternally grateful. I am sorry that my exerbuence got a bit out of hand. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

Enter a semi-english speaking bicyclist..name unknown, but sounded like Sir Andy. "You did a 360 at the top of the hill, out of control"

Slits...I'm sorry Sir...that was not me..I do not lose control of my car in a turn.

SESB (see above..semi english......)...It was a car just like this one (speaking to the BM)

Slits...Sir, there are only about 99 more of these on the highway today.

BM to SESB....Sir, it wasn't him, so pedal down the road a bit and I will come talk to you after I'm finished.

BM to Slits....Please sign here (offering a pen)

Slits....I have my own sir.

BM....Here is your copy and slow down. We have a lot of problems with the Bicyclists...They even get into fights with each other over road space and you sports car guys and motorcylists don't help any. By the way, I would have pulled all six of you over, but I'm only one guy and you're it. Tell your friends they owe you a real nice dinner for this one.

Slits...They're to cheap to do that. They are all 914 owners. Have a good day sir.

Exit to the sound of the mighty four at 2500 rpm, drounding out the chirping birds and bicyclists threats of harm.

Oh, BTW....has anybody seen Old Joe Sharp?
