Da Man Da Van

11.03.00

Chaos ensued once again on the streets of Manhattan. It's been a damn good year of insanity and craziness...

Here it is November and it's warm out. Warm enough to sit outside in Little Italy... the patrons of the Mulberry Street restaurants got a little extra for their money tonight as JonJon and Mario strutted their stuff... and did I see cute Nick rearing his pretty red R6 a few times? Joe doing his thing and Kurtie Kurt being his flashy self (pun intended) and a few others along for the ride. It was a good night of riding.

Apparently we weren't the only ones hot for a good ride (read into that all ya want)... we met up with another 15 or so guys down in the Village and the whole pack took off to scare up some mayhem.

As the 30 of us were screamin down the West Side Hwy, we come upon some cops... but the Man was in the Van... and what are they gonna do? you're sure not gonna lane split in that thing. We were all on our best behavior for about 2 minutes ... I grinned and waved and quickly scooted out of view.... a few down shifts and wheelies later they were far behind us with nary a siren to be heard. so maybe Van Cops are ok? nyah.

ya know, despite the political problems, tickets, chases, various court dates, arrests, impounds, alleged reckless driving offenses (can you imagine?), wrecks, thefts, breakups, lawyer fees, crashes, trips to the ER and arguments... it's been a really good year.

It's hard to believe that 2000 is coming to an end so quickly. Another year slips through our fingers.

My goal next year is to be faster... faster than last year, faster than last week, faster than yesterday and definitely faster than you (haha). Where's my new bike already....?
