Saturday is deer attack day ( but not for me)

Ever have a pedestrian freeze up on you and wind up leaping in front of
your bike? I have. I sometimes worry about the deer that panics and does
the same thing. So far, I've been lucky, in that I've avoided a cow,
killed a ground squirrel, and knocked over a dog at very low speed,
which got up and ran away. No deer, please. Nam myoho renge nodeer kyo!

Wow! I haven't heard that Nichiren Shoshu chant in 30 years.
Another group-think sect, not unlike Scientology.

Heh heh. I lived in Santa Cruz for a while. There were chantin' hippies
there who wouldn't mind keeping a lost wallet full of cash, because they
chanted for rent money.

Did you ever look BEHIND the bike? Might've had an entire herd chasing
you!

 

Nah...turning around to look behind you apparently is a bad idea...
as is trying to take pix of the guy in back of you...

Hey Barb. have you seen the latest Urban Moto? It seems xenu rear-ended
one of your favorite scientologists.

 

NO! What up? We don't get that down here, or at least I've never seen
it. That darn Xenu, he has no respect for the law. He uses renegades.

The one and only Doc got clobbered by a hit and run driver.

 

From Bay Area Rider's Forum:

Help Needed: Doc Wong Hit and Thrown pretty far

SHIT.

Believe it or not, I'm writing this to you from my home, Sunday April
15, 2007

I need your help in finding the culprits that did this. Vehicle is an
old Honda or Toyota (probably Honda) hatchback (I think) small, dirty
grey/silver. With a BIG dent in the front from ramming into the rear end
of my BMW R1100 RS. Part of the grille is missing (we found it on the
street).

On this beautiful Sunday I had just finished doing the Doc Wong Riding
Clinic as I have for over 14 years. Finishing off at Hwy 9 and Skyline,
I rode to the Alice's 4 corners to hang out and chat for a bit before
going home.

At around 4 PM, I go down Hwy 84 from the Alice's corner, hang a right
on Portola Valley Road (aka Sandhill Road). There's about 4 cars ahead
of me, so I'm just traveling at around 30 mph with the traffic. I check
my rear view mirror and see a small dirty grey/silver hatchback behind
me...no problem, we'er all traveling at the same speed.

So I'm just relaxed..and then BANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hit from behind and HARD!

Sky -- Road -- Sky -- Road -- Sky -- Road, I try to stand...shit, I'm
still going, Sky -- Road -- Sky -- Road.

I get up and I can see the car that rear ended me. I look at him
(Mexican/South American looking), he looks at me and gasses it!!!! I
scream and a witness after getting over the shock goes after him. We
don't find him. My beemer is toast but the most important thing is that
I'm relatively unharmed, except some bruises.

Paramedics arrive, Sherriffs arrive and they go looking for him, but do
not find him.

I'll be leaving right after this e-mail to search for him as I think his
car would have been disabled with all that front end damage.

I was astonished, from the point of impact, my bike ended up 150' feet
away and I ended up 70' past that!

Please everyone be on the lookout for a dirty grey/silver Honda (old)
hatchback (I think) vehicle with a big dent in the front of it. Call 911
and let them know you think you've spotted a vehicle that fits that
description, do not confront the owners, let the police do that.

After over 500,000 miles of riding street, track days, dirt, etc, I've
never had an injury (crashes, yes, but no injuries) and never have I had
an altercation with a car.

Today I did and I'm hopping mad!

How did this happen. Doc Wong is a certified Scientology OT. By now he
should have mastered his powerzz over Mass, Energy, Space and Time.
He should have known this was going to happen and postulated it away,
like all the other OTs who report being able to control road debris and
traffic lights with their *minds.*

Well, I hope he wasn't hurt too badly. At least no worse than if I'd
caught him picketing my aged parents' house. And I certainly hope they
catch the asshole who hit him, he must be a powerful being indeed to
take out an OT Homo Novis like that. Guy's probably on his way back to
ARSCC (wdne) HQ in Guatamala by now, what you want to bet.

I'm not laughing, really. However, I always enjoy the irony (elrony?)
when one of these people who claim mastery of the universe (it's what
they paid for!) encounters the forces of reality.

Here, you can read an account of another Mightee Oatee and his wife, who
used his powerzz to put out a raging fire down the street.

Operatin' Thetan Three and Operatin' Thetan Four puttin' out
a ragin' fire a mile away!

Can Doc Wong do this? "I'm hyper excited!"

Can John Travolta do this? "Ohmygawd!"

Can Tom Cruise do this? "I'm not coming out of the closet,
Nicole!"


"E.N.L.T.C. or Elite Ninth Level Transduction Ceremony
is the most solemn and expensive Scientology wedding
package available and not surprisingly the soon-to-be
Mr. and Mrs. Cruise will be partaking in that.
E.N.L.T.C.s are rarely performed because of their cost
and the demands they make on bride and groom. Both have
been following three days of prayer, fasting, electronic
money transfers, high-colonic cleansings, full-body
Brazilian waxes, and anal bleachings that precede an
Elite Ninth Level Transduction Ceremony."
