I'm glad you are all right.  That a person driving a car actually tried to hit you,  or force you off the road to have an accident becaues he's stuck in traffic is just plain dumb.  Good article and again glad you are safe 

[pandy]

Thanks...I'm glad, too.   

The maniac actually *did* hit me. I was one shocked rider, and then to glance back and have him giving me the finger while he was in the process of assaulting me! 

I'm just happy as a clam that Mr. Roadshow devoted a column to our safety! 

[scratch]

Excellent!  I'm glad your situation appeared in the paper!  Hopefully, this will make more people aware!  Of course, I'm glad you're okay, and I'm still on the lookout for this guy.  Did you post this up on B.A.R.F. as well?

[Maduro Mistress]

That's AWESOME Pandy! That headline though is a tongue twister I had to read it about 17 times before it made sense!!!

[pandy]

Did you post this up on B.A.R.F. as well?

Yup! And on SBR! Mr. Roadshow RAWKS! 

That's AWESOME Pandy! That headline though is a tongue twister I had to read it about 17 times before it made sense!!!

Say it tonight after three shots of tequila!

Now that I know your real name as well as your city, you'll be a lot easier to stalk.  Thanks. 

[pandy]

I'm unlisted!   

[aaronstj]

Is your middle initial L by any chance?

[pandy]

My college days haunt me! 

[ajgs500]

WoW.... I am glad you are ok!!  I had an idiot try to run me off the road before but my little GS let me get away from him.

What ... your name is Staci ... not Pandy ... WTF ...
First your purple is actually Violet ... and now this ... I feel so cheated ...
I will torture the purple extra tonight just to get my mind off the pain.
Well atleast its real purple ... and not violet ...
I'll probably tape some egg plants on railroad tracks this weekend.
Cool.

I'll probably tape some egg plants on railroad tracks this weekend.

And my bf will thank you. He's still not forgiven me for sneaking eggplant into his lasagna all those years ago! 

[70 Cam Guy]

And my bf will thank you. He's still not forgiven me for sneaking eggplant into his lasagna all those years ago! 

that's because it's egg plant!

good on ya Staci!  If this helps one person remember there's a person riding that motorcycle, I'll feel a little safer

[jen_]

That is AWESOME.   About once in every 3 commutes I have someone move in to try to block my path between the lanes.  I usually get by them somehow, and its fun to watch them get all mad.

[pandy]

I usually just figure someone can't drive and avoid them as best I can.....this is the first time someone was out-and-out aiming for me, even with my best efforts to get away. They don't usually try to chase me down and kill me!     Karma will bite him on the butt! 

[Caffeine]

Glad you're ok.   The purple (er...violet) must have protected you.

I see my share of lane splitting here, but I don't think it's legal in my state.   Squids love to fly between rows of stopped traffic at intersections...very stupid!

And let's hope Mr. Buick sees the article!

[pantablo]

What ... your name is Staci ... not Pandy ... WTF ...

yeah, who is this staci chick? and why is she riding pandy's bike?

(glad you werent hurt. in my minds eye I would have gotten off the bike and proceeded to kick the side panels of the car in.)

[pandy]

And let's hope Mr. Buick sees the article!

If he does see the article, I'm sure he'll try harder next time.

The thought crossed my mind.....

It's the red, red is the color of hate.  This is why I no longer wear red, anymore.
