I was leaving post today for lunch, just left the parking lot, pulled onto the main road and was traveling at 20 mph. As I came up to an intersection with another parking lot to my left, a civilian in an SUV began to turn left towards me. She came closer and I realized that she didn't see me. I jammed on the horn a counter steered into the field to the right of me. Once she heard my horn she crapped her pants; the look on her face was priceless. Of course she was on the cell phone. I tip toed back onto the road without dumping the bike and went about my merry way. :spank: If I wasn't on post and in uniform I would have gone thermo-nuclear on her ass.
So to you "Loud pipes save lives" folks, nope - the loud ass Jardine didn't get her attention, and the four halogen headlights and the required orange Army safety vest didn't do anything either.
As soon as I hit the horn I thought of Vegasrider honking at cars all over Vegas.
Be careful out there!
