Who cares? Most drivers in the west hills are too f$&%ing stupid and
arrogant to read speed limit signs.

Portland area cyclists - does the story below ring a bell to anyone?
-----------------------------------
I was going up the twisties next to where we live this afternoon, and
while going around a tight right-hand corner, came upon someone on a
bicycle
that had wandered into the middle of my lane. The side of the road had a
lot
of big bushes, and it looked like he popped out of one of these bushes
just
in front of me.
To avoid him I swerved to the left and then to the right and went over
the
curb on the opposite side of the street. (No, I didn't lift) On the other
side of the sidewalk was a wall made out of very large rocks. The car hit
these, climbed up the wall, and flipped. This happened so damn fast the
next
thing I remember was hanging upside down looking at the deflated airbags.
Yeah, I'm fine with a bunch of little bruises. My passenger got smacked
in
the face with the airbag, but didn't have a mark on him. Needless to say,
the TT is totaled. The guy on the bicycle stopped and called 911, then
split. Another car came along and said they almost hit the same guy
coming
down the hill.
Considering I walked away okay says a lot for the body structure of the
911.
The doors opened easily.
Be careful out there folks!!!

-----------------------------------
This guy owns a now wrecked Porsche 911 Turbo. He seems to place all the
blame on this cyclist that "popped" out in front of him. Never mind that
he
was probably driving way too fast around a difficult to see curve -
especially considering the fact that his car which is known for it's
remarkable handling capabilities ended up inverted. Never mind that the
cyclist didn't necessarily "wander" into the middle of the lane ("HIS"
lane???). Basically this story is pissing me off - and all the replies
to
it that smack talk the cyclist. So what I'm wondering is if an OBRA
person
was the bicyclist of interest - and if they have a different account of
the
incident. If so, send it on and I'll rant on the Porsche board.
Thanks - have great day and watch out for the idiots!
