Close encounter of the "squid" kind

Took my Ninja out yesterday to fill her up and head to a friends house to chill and as I was pulling out of my neighborhood, a CBR 600 (streetfighter) passed me and the underdressed rider gave me a peace sign, so I nodded. I went onto road and followed said squid 'til we got to a stoplight and the rider was far enough to the right of the lane for me to pull up a bit next to 'em, so I could get a better look at the bike and the rider. I pull up and SHE flips up her modular helmet to chat. I immediately notice the nose ring and green hair just barely sticking out the top of the helmet.

Her: Nice day for riding, isn't it?
Me: AWESOME DAY for riding!
Her: So you heading for route 5?
Me: Sorry, what? No, I don't have a 5 on me!
Her: No! lol Where are you heading?
Me: Gas Station to fill my baby up with premium.

As I finished my sentence, the light turned green, so I gave her a nod to let her know and she went first. She was there first and besides, I kind of wanted to watch her from behind. FOR SAFETY REASONS! We then came up to a right turn that we were both taking at a light. I was watching the traffic patterns before I even got up to the light so that I wouldn't be that idiot that pulled out in front of a car... my new acquaintance, however, did none of this and cruised right in front of a vehicle who had a green and was making a left onto the road that she was making a right on. Luckily, the guy making the left was paying attention and slowed to a stop as she looked at him real quick and then gave her bike some gas in the middle of the turn to rush off in embarrassment. I just waited 'til everybody was clear before I turned.

Obviously, she was distracted by my super cool color coordinated gear and pretty blue eyes that match my bike.

Note: I wish I had my camera on me SOOOO bad. Woulda snapped a pic.
