Yesterday fired up the Honda Helix to pick up the wifey at work. I hadn't ran it in several weeks, but it started and ran great. Got to her work.. she jumped on and we caught the freeway entrance ramp.... cruise'n along at about 60mph.. and then.. a tremendous racket from underneath the bike.... engine still ran.. but I suspect the drive belt went toast.
We where already in the right lane and I pulled over as far as possible.. as I came to a stop.. right foot on dirt.. left foot on edge of the asphalt…. at this time... I heard the screeching of brakes.. in the mirror cars are swerving .. swap'n lanes..on the right a Ford Flex screams by us... ripping out heavy brush before it came to a stop... dirt and dust swirled around us.... driver jumps out.. ask'd if we are ok....
My Fruit of the Looms have exceeded their maximum capacity … I push the scooter some distance off the freeway.. that in itself was scary.. a friend lived a couple blocks away.... parked it... Saturday.... I'll trailer to my buddies shop. Updates with the " ugly ".... soon
