Al, you have some seriously bad luck with cars. What happened? Maybe a bicycle is more your speed.

Finally saw another one this morning at 7:20, same place as last time, Mattis and Church, but this one was red. Had to check the plate to make sure it wasn't mine (I was in my truck).

I tagged the blue 8 in Dekalb a few days ago. Lets see if they find their way to teh site.
I also saw a silver 8 on the Kennedy (I think) at about 2am. I honked, you looked dumbfounded. I was in the red 8 with spoiler and red sidemarkers.

If you own a motorcycle, you have to expect to go down. I've had 3 bikes and went down twice on the second one. First time, I spent a week in the hospital. Second time, I ripped up my pants and broke the directionals.

there is a reason they call em "donorcycles" in the ER.

sadly, most car owners have no clue how to act around a motorcycle. And car vs motorcycle is usually a bad mix

I saw a dark grey RX-8 on Townline Road in Lake Forest yesterday. I flicked my lights and got the return wave. Cheers to whoever that was.

My buddy has a 750 GXR, he let me ride it once... I was going about 1/2 mph and went to turn it and dumped it, slid just a few feet. It scared the cr@p out of me so much that I have never wanted to ride/buy one since.

The silver one on 59 could have been me. I was in the area around that time. Did it have splashguards and the moonroof deflector? I had just gotten those installed. I was a bit concerned how they'd look, but i really like em.

Nope, I did pull out of the Hooters parking lot today though...

I did see another silver one in the best buy parking lot over the weekend. Wonder if somebody working there owns one...
