...and today I rode her next to an honest to god one-percenter MC for the first time
Not intentionally, we were just on the same road for a bit and wound up at the same red light, and one of them looked at me and I nodded and hoped that was okay.
I kind of took off like a shot at the light change and was terrified they'd think I was trying to race them but they didn't seem to care. Even used their turn signals
I'd been wondering why there was an entire platoon of motorcycle cops coming off a side road a few miles back. Sure enough, on the ride home a couple of them had been pulled over and were being talked to.
