Pretty Lucky day

I rode in from Houston to San Antonio on my 02 ultra last night to visit with my girlfriend (Goes to Trinity University here) and today we decided to hop on the bike and go ride through the hill country. After she finally woke up at 11:00 and had her breakfast we took off. We were doing alright until we were running through a little town and i didn't realize the speed limit went down to 45, I was clocked by a state trooper running 58. He stopped us and looked over the bike, asked his questions, ran my license, and ended up giving me a written warning and told me to pay attention to the speed limit next time. That was lucky moment number one. The second happened on our way back to her school. We were running around 70 on the 1604 loop when everybody in front of me randomly slammed on their brakes (im talking tires smoking cars going both directions slammed on their brakes) and of course i look in my mirror and the jackass behind me is on the phone and riding my ass. Luckily he finally looked up and slammed on his brakes with about six inches between his front bumper and my tail light. I couldn't shoot off to either side becasue of traffic but luckily i had just enough cushion in front of me that i was able to get off of the brakes enough to keep from getting hit.

Ok i know that was long and pointless but wanted to post it anyway. moral of the story, San Antonio residents are pretty much really crappy drivers.
 
1604 is a very dangerous road...i will not get on it when riding my bike. don't ride any where in san antonio when it is raining-the drivers never slow down or allow any additional space between vehicles.
 
Yep, roads around here are littered with crosses too. Unfortunately most drivers have distractions these days. Texting, cell phones, even video happen. Multi-tasking is taking its toll. We need to be very careful, looking out for the other guy these days.

I lived in S.A. in the 80s and again in the 90s , they don't call loop 1604 the DEATH loop for nothing. Seems there were several fatality accidents each and every week.
Good to hear ya'll made it back safe and sound.

And.... for the guy that wants pics ... Dude she goes to Trinity, for heavens sake...
 
Houston is pretty bad, but ive ridden in san antonio quite a bit and never had near as many close calls in houston as san antonio. and for the guy that wants pics, go look at your own. and for ZZZCICI you should see some of the girs there, WOW lol
