Friday Flash 55.....






'ASS-HOLE'! 'POT-LICKER'! 'IDIOTIC JERK'!!
Daydreaming Dildo, a real 'Piece of Work'.
Pull right out in front of me, as though you didn't care.
And if I brake and honk my horn, I get that angry glare!
****************BIKERS REMEMBER****************
MEN...Drive like they own the road.
WOMEN...Drive like there's no one else on it!



Maybe a bit of a generalization, but close enough.
The Bikes are out...Always look TWICE!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55,
Please come tell The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!
So from the Two-Wheeled host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!

Brian Miller said...

Brian Miller said...

lol, Ti!

Sherry said...

I must have some testosterone in me because I drive like I own the road! Mine's up here

Mojo said...

Oh wow. I was gonna post for Ti but I see she Yahtzeed me. I see how it is. Well she brought dinner in three courses...

Then Sandy's picking up the drinks and I'm providing the mystery dinner theater that I hope everybody will think about participating in next week and beyond.

Ya'll enjoy now, ya heah?

KB said...

Pot-licker? I've never heard that one before. I always look out for bikes, my Dad rides a bicycle in his spare time.

Mine's Up.

Dianne said...

Yeah, I have a few myself, but never pot-licker, I AM a pot-licker in the wilderness.

Mine is up HERE

Peter Stone said...

Great one, G-man, and it rhymes too! (Beyond my ability...) And a good message and reminder.

My 55 is Sackcloths of Despair

Buzzard said...

Great public service statement G-Man.

I cannot begin to count the close calls I have had with those who refuse to see while they drive.

Mine: Bad Easter Bunnies

Don't get me started on being a pedestrian or on bicycle. I'll end up ranting.

Mine is here.

Stan Ski said...

I still have a chunk of memory missing from a motorcycle accident... what was I...? Oh yes, my post is HERE!

Changnoi said...

I'm too young to drive, but HERE'S the start of what everyone's been waiting for...

With me it's a bike with pedals, but the same issue with cars. Great reminder to all. My 55 is HERE after midnight Pacific time.

Good Evening,
Happy Easter!
My 55 is up, hope that you enjoy it.
thank you for the beautiful encouragement!

best wishes!

SandyCarlson said...

You're so right. I think many folks are driving around in those little automat compartments from which their ancestors once bought sandwiches and chips. Crazy. Some serious vocab. lessons go on behind the wheel.

Mine's about a conversation that I had with a gas station host, shall we say. Brews the best tea and coffee in town. It is possibly here.

secret agent woman said...

Just today I watched some goombah on a motorcycle riding only on the back wheel in a pretty congested area. There are bad drivers for every sort of vehicle, who are thoughtless about the safety of others.

G-Man said...

Yeah...? But I bet he wasn't texting!!

Janna said...

Yikes!
Well, a couple days ago here in Michigan (just about 20 miles from where I live, even!), there was a road rage incident where someone actually got in a fight and STABBED somebody. Something about getting out of their car and fighting in the ditch.
(!!!) Wow.

It helped me see the need to be a wee bit more mellow when I drive.

Thanks for another Friday 55. :)
Here's mine!

Excellent stuff....

I'm up - and I'm also out of here to see friends at the beach! Have a great day.

Serena said...

A very timely -- and timeless -- 55. You just be careful out there and be on the lookout for the roadhogs and the morons.:)

One Prayer Girl said...

I am amazed at the non-driving that goes on around here. Dangerous stuff. I often find myself telling people to drive OR pull over and talk or text or eat or do makeup or whatever. (Actually I'm swearing it with my windows up.)

My 55 is up.

Donnetta said...

Drive defensively. Rule number one--and every other rule! And good advice, Galen--watch the bikes.

Did you get my previous message on your last post? I already got my 55er up. I was the FIRST to let you know this time--even if it WAS on the last post rather than this one.

Ah, well. D

Yvonne Osborne said...

Yup, bikes are out. Use your lights, guys. Great 55, G-Man.
I have mine up too (getting a head start cause tomorrow is gonna be crazy!) I think I'll start from the bottom to comment and work my way up.....

TGIF

Felicitas said...

Thanks for the warning! It's another reminder of why neither of my boys will EVER be allowed to own a bike. Stay safe out there, G-Man!

My 55 is up too!

PattiKen said...

With all the wackos on the road, it's a challenge, but stay safe!

I’m up here.

Jinksy said...

Once again I have succumbed to a 55, written in the wee small hours of this morning...You disturbed my sleep!

Cloudia said...

Yes, we bikers are invisible...




Aloha from Hawaii my Friend!


Comfort Spiral

Jana said...

Aptly said and so true about the driving styles of men and women. Both very annoyingly unique in their own way! Great 55. Have a fun-filled weekend.

Charlene Amsden said...

My first car was a motorcycle. I miss it.

This week my 55 contains More Blond Logic.

Larry said...

In England, we have a Think Biker advert campaign running which is fun.

I looked at what happens when you don't! My story is here

Nessa said...

The sound of Harleys always mean Spring to me. I love they way they vibrate the air.

Our stories are slightly related.

Smear Off

Oops. Too early in the morning, That was the wrong link. This is the correct one:

Hootin Anni said...

Around Texas, it's been my experience that WOMEN are the ones that 'own the road'...it's kinda scary actually. Especially those with PMS. LOLOLOL

Here's Mine for the week.

As always scroll down below my Friday Show n Tell....

AND!! Happy Easter to those who observe.

the walking man said...

Take the baffles out of the mufflers and carry a piece for the equal distribution of flat tires.

It ain't no safer in a damn car around here anymore...slow the hell down people and I know we have a literacy problem but S T O P isn't that big of a word and is found on those big red signs on every street corner when entering a major thoroughfare.

Aoife.Troxel said...

Mine's up too! I agree with you about women driving even though I am one.

Ah, the reason I was glad Hubby gave up his motorcycle...made me a nervous wreck to ride because the OTHER drivers scared me! :)

Mine's up. Happy Easter!

Akelamalu said...

There are definitely some 'brainless' people out there on the roads!

Lulda Casadaga said...

Why is there something so sexy about a man on his Harley!? Ok, I promise not to drool and drive and watch out for all the bikes...with or without pedals! :)

Mine will be up before sundown.

inappropriatesue said...

G-Man -Wednesday night I took the third step toward independence and bought MY first car. Watch out. The roads just got scarier. LOL

I’m up right HERE

Susan at Stony River said...

Good one, Galen!

I always thought that to qualify for a car license everyone should *first* get a motorcycle license and a commercial truck license, and find out how it feels to drive each of those in traffic, before becoming a dickhead-behind-a-wheel. I get laughed at, when I mention it. Oh well!

I'm late again (homelife is a bit rough at the minute...) but up at last, with a story about toys.

Happy Easter!

C.M. Jackson said...

g--ok the first thing I want to say is that I am a very good driver..second, mr jackson has got his bike out and agrees with you-third, I didn't see your post until I went to link to it and finally, I was only going to talk about my bad drive (eg computer), not about a bad driver until about 4:30 pm --go figure--beam me up scotty and oh yeah, my post is up!

Have a lovely weekend!

clean and crazy said...
