Title: Gas Station near catastrophe
Post by: hooah54 on September 12, 2015, 03:49:52 PM
Regular at the pump is under $1.80 at the local station.  Finished a 164 mile ride and the yellow light flashes on the BMW.  Pulling into the gas station to an empty pump  a woman in a huge SUV just keeps coming straight at me as if I am not there.  Drop the bike and roll out of the way.  She does not even see me until I drop the bike.  She stops less than a foot from my front end.  She mutters sorry, backs up and drives away.  Two lesson from this: cheap gas make people stupid and there is a reason I don't do concealed carry.

Our cash price for Regular is $2.95 here ; but the drivers aren't any more attentive . It's hard for them to concentrate while looking at their phone . Hate to use the horn , but in that situation I would . As far as carrying , quit a long time ago ; think better without it .

No damage I can see...reflecting on it I should have used the horn but my first instinct was to un-ass the bike...I should have known better to go into the station with the number of cages circling looking for an empty pump.  Really didn't get angry until a few minutes late when I was thinking I would chase her down and shoot out two tires

I saw a Vago slash the tires of a minivan that bumped him when he cut in front of the van. Totally his fault but he decided to scare the crap of the van driver.
