Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself
I wrecked a motorcycle on the freeway after drinking a bottle of old scotch. I had my helmet strapped to the bike when I wrecked it. (this was before the helmet law)I woke up in the hospital with stitches but no broken bones or major injuries. I have no idea how fast I was going but I was a speeddemon, especialy when drunk, so I'm sure I was flying!<br /> A year or so later I wrecked an old nova, going over 90 miles an hour on the San Mateo bridge. No seatbelt, and no major injuries. Wasn't even ejected! I did end up in jail for that one though.<br /> Later, I drove a diferent motorcycle over a cliff, landed on a really soft embankment and walked away from that one too.<br /> I scrubbed on a 10 speed bicycle ( I was on a beer run) going down a steep road at about 25 or 30 mph when I was about as drunk as you can get without passing out. This road had a steep embankment on one side and a river at the bottom. I went over the embankment but somehow didn't end up in the river. I broke my shoulder, and wandered around in a drunken stupor, holding my arm against my chest, and finaly made it back up the embankment and walked home. I was hurting the next day big time!<br /> On another one of my drunken adventures, I was again almost to the point of passing out when I decided to get in my car and drive home. I thought I put the car in drive, but it just wouldn't go anywhere! I kept on trying, but no sucess. I finaly crawled out of the car and crashed outside. When I woke up the next day, my car was up on top of a woodpile, which was about 20 feet away from a steep embankment, with the feather river at the bottom of the embankment! The car was in reverse. If I had made it over the woodpile, I wouldn't be typing this today.<br /> I once got beat up by a black man with brass knuckles. That was the shortest fight I ever had! The proverbial 2 hits.<br /> I smoked weed a few times too, but never liked it.<br /> I once watched my friend beat up a cop who tried to arrest him for vandalism. This was in an urban center with plenty of cops everywhere, and we ran to my friends car and drove off. Never got caught. I'm not proud of that one.<br /> All that was back in my wild days, I'm the polar opposite of all that now. I have a wife and 3 kids to take care of now, and I'm about as straight and narrow as they come! I don't drink anymore, I'd probably get drunk off 2 beers now!
