There I was, stopped in the middle of the intersection behind Gary and Pat Eckman waiting for a couple of locals to cross the street. Gary and Pat start to pull there beautiful Cobra (they were all beautiful) forward and Michele (the wife) and I started to follow.
All of a sudden, and to my shocked suprise, someone, (something out of the woods is more like it) started yelling at me; using words I have never heard before!! My hell, what is a M.....F.....? those words are not in my dictionary! This thing was yelling "YOU BETTER STAY AWAY FROM MOTORCYCLES M...F..." "I'M GONNA KICK YOUR F'N ASS YOU M...F...." "GET OUTA YER CAR (at least he recognized the mode of transportation I prefer)YOU G..D.. M...F...(This language was coming from a really full grown something or other in the middle of a down town street)
I had no idea where this Saskwatch came from, all I could tell was he needed a bath and a shave and hair cut. This guy was HUGE, real HUGE. (I later found out he had run his stop sign, and was moving like he was trying to get away from the police that were in conversation wirh a group of bikers at the closest corner)
Well, no one talks to me like that!!, so I apologized and told him a couple of times I was real sorry. Maybe he didn't hear me because my teeth were chattering and my tounge was pretty swollen with fear. I was trying to think about my next move and thinking "I dont have my sand-wedge or a baseball bat, I'll have to use my ball point pen as a weapon OR take a quick hit of my asthma inhaler and run like HELL!
Before I could get the seat belt tightend so he could not pull me from the car, the most wonderful group of guys I have ever seen showed up. The entire Willits police force magically appeared and drug this escapee from the zoo's ape cage off his motorcycle and told him "quit resisting and dont make it worse on yourself" (as heard by my wife, Michele) I think the language may have been more colorful, but I could not hear because my eyes were wide open in anticipation of my first fight. I'd have kicked his butt!!! He is really the lucky one. I had a new pen!.
Anyway we all left town and I was so glad he was held long enough not to be able to follow.

I was glad I could add some excitement to the event, which by the way, was the second most fun thing I have ever done in a car! Michele and I had an absolutley, positively great time. We met some outstanding folks and we hope to be allowed to participate again next year, (maybe we can drive around Willits?)
Thanks Mike and Suzie, and all those that would have gotten out of their cars to keep me from destroying that guy
We are hoping to participate in Snakes to the Lake, this time we will try harder!
YOU GUYS AND LADIES WERE TERRIFFIC!!! THANKS TO ALL.
