So I got backed into in Seattle.

Thankfully, the only damage was on the front fender - lady in a USPS Aerostar couldn't see my Hornet thanks to a pointless design fault (why on God's green earth was a double door necessary, Ford?) and nearly broke the plastic fender off the fork.

We exchanged details and I should be getting a phonecall from USPS, though truth be told, I don't think I care anymore at this point since I dropped the bike twice - once during my time in the Seattle Library and the other at home doing maintenance. Her accidental attack was NOWHERE near the amount of damage I caused on my poor, poor Hornet.

SR20 later.

I got pulled over by a State Trooper in an Aerostar once. Worst pursuit EVER.

I was parked.

Ah, Aerostars. Is there anything they can't do?

I've never seen a USPS Aerostar and I've lived in Seattle for over 30 years. Where was this?

Must suck balls having to rock two wheels in the winter.

Actually, it's kind of fun - all I need is a set of rain gear and it's enough to keep me warm.

Same can't be said for my gloves though. I think they're slightly perforated?
