No, not me. I work third shift and Thursday morn an Electrician bud of mine and me took a short break and rode an electric flatbed out to the motorcycle parking area cause he wanted to see Speedy. As we are standing there, first shifters are trickling in thru the gate. I hear what is obviously a seriously hotrodded HD comin in and look up to see a beautiful softail custom, screamin eagle edition. The guy stops and backs it in. Kind of a chocolate maroon color. Nothin gawdy (sp), very tasteful and classy. I compliment him on his ride and he thanks me sayin his wife bought it for him for Valentines day. 110 cubes, whitewalls, Tasteful chrome and clean as hell. He looks over at speedy and already knows it's mine, has seen me on it before and tells me how much he digs it. We shoot the shit for awhile about bikes and we all have to go back inside.
Thursday night (my Friday) i get to work and find out the guy is dead. He lost it on a curve in front of the plant and ate the curb. 29 years seniority, one year from reirement, his wife and kids life just changed forever, not for the better. Be careful out there.
