not much of a road rage episode but anyways when I was 10 years younger I was on my motorcycle and stopped at my local small town gas station. I bought a quart of oil to put into my crankcase since I just did the oil change and it was a quart low. There was a nice red Mustang GT parked next to me. I added the oil to the crankcase but forgot to reinstall the cover. I started my bike and blipped the throttle and was about to swing my leg over when someone said I left my cover off. I shut the bike down and reinstalled the cover. I then jumped on my bike and was ridding home. About 4 blocks away a red Mustang GT come screaming up behind me with 4 kids hanging out the window saying they are going to kick my @$$. I had no clue why and didn't want to find out so I tap danced on the shift lever a couple clicks and twisted my right wrist. They started to fade quickly in my mirrors at that point. After making a couple turns I thought I lost them so I went back through town and spotted 2 of my friends walking past the same gas station I was just at. I was right in the middle of telling them my story when guess who pulls up? Yup! the red Mustang GT loaded with redneck kids. They jump out and start saying they are going to kick my but because of what I did to their car. I guess after I added the quart of oil and started my bike the gears spun a fine mist of oil into the air and right onto his car and in the interior. :O I had no idea that happened so I apologized and gave him $5 for a car wash. He was happy after that.

What I learned?

A Mustang GT is no match for a bike
