I was stopped at a traffic light. One of our forever lights here in south Florida. A cruiser pulls up alongside of me. We're both waiting fo the light to change when from bhind us we both hear the whine of a Crotch Rocket being wound out. I look in my left mirror and there a ways back is some nut case going like the hammers. He's dodging in and out of traffic and not trying to slow down in the least. I know without thinking about it that this idiot isn't going to be able to stop for the light.
The road ahead of me makes a fairly sharp left hand turn. On the left is a large man made lake. Sure enough he smokes past me and leans into the turn but something goes wrong. He can't turn sharp enough but he's good. He adjusts his heading a touch and hits the curb at a low point without losing it. He clears the sidewalk and hits the grass. He keeps it upright and catches some air landing in the water. Somehow he managed to keep the front en up while in the air. Because of this he didn't fly off the bike. At least not untill he hit the water.
The cop pulled over with me right behind him. I'm in full rescue mode, shedding shoes, phone and wallet as I come out of my car. We're all set to hit the water when the guy stands up. He's in waist deep water and cursing his bike as well as everything else around him.
The cop waves him over and the first thing the guy said was to ask why the cop was laughing.
That was all it took. I started laughing as well. I couldn't stand I was laughing so hard.
