Title: Is Jay Trying to Get to Heaven Early?

I was sorry to hear of Jay's accident today, but then I remembered his near collision with me and the motor tricycle last weekend (Raw video.  Sorry there is no longer editing at YouTube.)

How many lives are you down to now, Jay?   [smiley=engel017.gif]

Thanks, Key. Wondered how high the Aero's left wheel lifted when I avoided hitting you. The video shows it didn't lift as high as it felt. Thank goodness for the Aero's low center of gravity and cambered front wheels. If I'd been on a Rover, I would have wiped you out.

Number of lives left? Don't know, but the count would be lower if I didn't ride in the Plano area, because it's a minefield of pavement defects.

On a Rover?  Do they still sell those things?  I thought they went the way of the Corvair, "Unsafe at any speed."   ;D

Yeah, if you tried that maneuver on one of them, you'd've been rolling towards me like a giant cannonball, resulting in my next hematoma.
