Plus, you can catch some nice air off of one of those dirty hippies…
Just be sure the bump doesn’t have a personal injury attorney handy…
Only strong kung-fu would seek the way of full-throttle bump-impacting, grasshopper. The weak kung-fu of the motoring public attempts bump-humping by becoming one big lump with the bump, even with all that junk inside the trunk.
My copy says “twist the wench slowly, and enjoy the feel as you snug it up” or something like that.
My brother said that’s “wrench” but I like my reading better.
Motorcycles.
All I really need to know is what the hell do I do if a spark plug breaks off?
I shoulda bought a Chevy.
Hitting a frost heave on the Alaska highway in an F250 4×4 crewcab at 60 doesn’t compute with hitting the same bump at 90 on a 650 Kawasaki Crotch Rocket. It’s the conveyance that counts cause there’s always another bump in the road.
TW: the Zen of bumps or heaves depends on the ageof the driver, the aftermath depends on frikken luck.

Let it be known that if you meet the Buddha on the road……
give him a lift. Geez, help a brother out, won’t you?
BECAUSE OF THE KOAN!
Unless you’re fortunate enough to live in a town where the speed bumps are elected.
‘Cause, y’know, that’s what they’re for.
TW: squish—naw, I can’t see any relevance.
You’re not advocating running down FOTP (friends of the prophet) are you?
A truly able person is always a threat, 5th gear,its alright.
Should ride in France, the roads there are as smooth as can be!
