Is anybody else's town this strange?

My mom had one of those tags they hang from the rear view mirror. It was only for when my grandmother was with her. Grandma couldn't walk too well, bad enough to warrant the tag. She had one on her own car, too.

The only time that tag got used when my grandmother wasn't around, was when my cousin came up, shortly after her leg had been crushed in a motorcycle accident. Even using a cane with an arm brace on it, she still had a hell of a time hobbling around.

Well, one time I was driving to beason's and I saw a lady riding a bike on the freeway.... nothing too out of the ordinary right?

I changed stations, and took a drink. Still haven't passed her yet. WTF?!

I finally passed her to find out the bike has a 3.5 techumse on it.

Only in TEXAS

there was a guy around here a couple month's back that stuck a chainsaw engine to his mountian bike but he never used it on the road.

Reedley, CA, is up in the central valley (San Joaquin Valley) where almost all of California's crops are grown. Big agricultural area. Well, we had a Good Sam Rally up there at a small place right on the King's River. This place is out in the middle of nowhere. The owner of the campground also has a bar on the premise. Hard to describe, but the bar is right next to the embankment of where the bridge starts to cross over the river, and the campground is just down river from there right next to the bar.

Well, on the second night of our rally, we finally all went to the bar, drank a lot, came back and went to bed about 1:30. About 2:00 in the morning you hear a '70s V8 car take off out of the parking lot, burn it around the corner and head up the highway over the bridge. Next thing you hear is this big crash. The guy's throttle stuck WOT and he fishtailed it all around the top of the bridge before hitting the guardrail. Mind you, this area gets real foggy, too. Anyhow, half our rally people heard this and got out. By the time I got out and could hear the guys, they were drunkenly yelling at each other to pull out the front fender. The got it pulled out enough to go and fired up the car and kept giong. Car turns out to be one of the ones we saw at the bar all night, a 1971 Firebird.

Same car shows up the next night. (You would think they learned their lesson!) About midnight we all at the rally are sitting around our campfire when we hear this real weird fan noise. It sounded like a big fan circling around. We get up and look over in the direction of the bar. We see lights going in circles and decide to investigate. We get up to the upper parking lot of the bar and there are the two drunks again, this time they have a big fan, powered by a small gas motor, strapped to thier backs, going in circles about 20 miles an hour on a cruiser bike. The fan thing was like one of the ones you see hang gliders use to power themselves. These guys are registered stupid. Eventually one of them eats it and the crowd goes back in the bar like nothing ever happened.

Dude, you know deep down you were routing for the guy, and you wanted the next turn.....

 

[Revo Rancher]

I'll admit it looked fun, but not DRUNK!

 

[Plaidfish]

NOT DRUNK?!?!?!?!
when has anything like that EVER been done when you are sober????
that just takes away the element of danger from it.......
C'mon you never surfed drunk????? that's pretty crazy if you think about it.....

 

[Revo Rancher]

Well, actually, no, never surfed drunk. Hungover, yes, drunk, no. However, we used to go bodysurfing sometimes late at night after going out. Surprised I never took my head off on the rocks hidden below the water line in the Laguna Beach area!

Plaid, these guys were really going fast and in fairly tight circles. We're not talking about 100 ft circles here, more like 30 ft. And they kept gunning the thing to see how fast they could get it up to. I swear, these guys looked like Fast Eddy's avator pic! Freaky.

 

[Plaidfish]

LMFAO.....I WAS picturing tight uncontrolled fast poop....and I was missing the stupid days of crashing shopping carts into each other.....or tryin to stay on the hood of a van (yes that lil half hood) while your drunk friend is trying to drive a straight line.....Every now and then I wonder how the hell I lived past 25.....I sure tried real hard......Revo, wow I think you are the first perso I've spoken to that says they never surfed drunk.....personally I think it's crazier than any of the stunts mentioned in this thread just for the drowning factor, but most of the guys I know aren't real big in the brain department when it comes to life safety risks.......myself included at one time








O.K. I'm STILL included sometimes......

[HeartBreak]

Don't diss the Hells Mowers man! Might wind up with your toes whacked off.

LMAO - yep, they're a sister-chapter with the sadistic grannies - ya know the ones... pushing young men down open manholes.... Tripping young women... stealing yarn just for kicks. :arrr:

 

[Plaidfish]

LMFAO.....that's good stuff there^^

 

[truthseeker]

lol i forgot to mention that i had to wait while the mower man stopped at the tracks and looked both ways. i was laughing so hard i couldn't even get mad! hey i got a pic of a giant inflatable santa with a woody, too, if anybody wants to see it. it was set up right on the main drag in the next town over. never a dull moment around hicksville, usa!

 

[HeartBreak]

I'm almost afraid to ask...

Sounds alot like this town. People just have a warped sense of humor. If it weren't for that, I'd have left a long time ago.

 

[4u2nv]

I think every town has there "Lawn mower man". We have a couple in town, and also have a few golf carter guys. Most of these guys have no licences due to DUI's so these are there means of transportation.. About a week ago I saw a dude pulling a sled with his lawn mower that had his groceries in it.. Wheres the cam when I need it huh? lol

 

[SpitFireV12RR]

Sometimes I ride my Rider on the street...but only to get to a job that I'm going to(I mow lawns to get money). If you've never been to Orlando, you haven't seen much. I saw a guy at disney...who had a pimped out electric wheelchair. It was amazing.

Anyways, I hope you don't think its bad to ride a dirtbike on the street. Its a 2-stroke highley modified for racing(CR80R) and if I don't run it every 2 or so days the sparkplug fouls and a 5.00 a kick, they're expensive. So I run up to Turkey lake road(about 2 miles) and back on the backroads, but I would never go on a mainroad...thats just a plea for ticket in Florida...or worse...injury.(You know, with all the retarded tourists who don't know if they wanna go on I-4 or not and block 3 lanes trying to decide...)

This town I live in is weird. I saw a guy the other day drive up to the grocery store, park in the handicapped spot, go inside, come back out 5 minutes later with a 6-pack of Milwaukee's Best, and drive off. Not weird, you say? He was on a F$%^ING LAWN MOWER!! Is this the only place this crap happens? Don't believe it? I'm driving around with a camera so there will be some pics soon. If you're lucky, I'll have some pics of the cops trying to run cows off the road, too.

About 12 years ago, I worked with a guy that ran out of beer one Sat afternoon, and he wanted to avoid getting a DUI, so he rode his mower up to the store, and on the way back, he found out that you can get a DUI on any motor operated vehicle while drunk,,LMAO. Straight to jail he went.
