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!
