Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

I paid $9 at HEB last night.

 

I’ll get a list together this week.

 

I’ve been joking with my wife since we are living in Louisiana. If she gives birth here then we will have a Cajun Asian. Lol

 

Never have I said I was a real. asian....

 

Almost got rear ended yesterday. And not in a good way.
Usually when I sit at a red light, I'm checking all my mirrors. While I did my normal sweep. When I got to my rear view mirror, I seen this Volvo coming towards me fast! First thing I did was brace myself.... then a split second later I jammed it in first and jumped to the next lane. I couldn't tell if it was my tires screaming or hers. That shit was close! As I jumped over, she came to complete stop where my car was. I open my door and yelled, get off you fucking phone! She held both hands up to say sorry.....one hand was holding a phone

 

Geez man. I'm glad you're okay! Good looking out!

 

Fuck me, I was more worried about my spoiler..


I'm more scared on the scooter sitting at a red light or especially in traffic

 

Amen to that. I keep the bike in first gear in case I need to get my ass moving pronto.

 

Wtf is wrong with this?
The x is my answer, they said I was wrong and put left foot... but the correct answer is in the box that says right foot

 

Yeah. Gear shift is left and rear brake is right. Same with the levers. Clutch is left and front brake is right. All things transmission is on the left side and brakes are on the right.

 

Well I know that. But they said I was wrong

 

I think triumph had this old bike that was left foot brake and right foot shift.

 

OH. I understand what you're saying now. My mistake.

WTF indeed.

 

...typical British bike.

 

But you own a duc....

 

At least the Italians had the sense of putting the controls in the right places.

I think.

British and Italian bikes are their own world. I like them both but know what you're getting into first.

 

Should have told me this before I got the vette

 

+1 to both, but just one counterpoint. Many years ago I was sitting at a red light with a truck in front of me. I always stop on the left-middle side of a vehicle in front of me so that (hopefully) they can see me in one of the dominate mirrors. Well this fool decides he needs to backup to get into a drive on the left side and just guns it and backs right into me. Luckily I got on the horn quick and he started to stop, but still folded up my front fender back to the forks.

So, the moral of the story, you might want to keep your bike in reverse gear

 

I'm glad you made it out with no injury and relatively minor damage, but I have one question:

Is reverse gear activated by revving the engine while using one's feet to push the bike backwards?

 

Usually the air pressure from the "WTF ARE YOU DOING!!" yelling that is going on while trying not to counteract that action by shitting on yourself.
