I just have to tell this story. We all probably have them, but someone doing something STUPID, almost cost me a couple friends a couple years ago.
My friends were on a motorcycle ride going down the freeway at 70mph when they came up on a person hauling an old pos trailer full of large rocks. This trailer was so overloaded that he hit a bump and one of the trailers leafsprings broke. The loose piece of leafspring hit the road, bounced up underneath my friends bike, and put a hole in his crankcase. Luckily it did not jam up in a wheel or hit his leg, bit imagine the fun of going 70 mph while spraying your rear wheel with oil!
They got the driver to pull over and he had the balls to try and deny it until my friends showed him his broken leafspring. It all got resolved but I believe someone was watching over him that day, because the were a hundred other ways that have gone, and none were better.
Please people don't just think can I get away with it, use your heads and think about the consequences of your actions.
