Had a nasty one today.....shouldn't have bragged about the great one yesterday. Murphy heard me.

On one of the campus backroads coming in from the Satellite lot (I drove to the campus this morning and decided to ride around to my classes instead of riding from the house). I had a couple of teenagers in a red and white S-10, I think it was, nail me in the back with a ball bat on the way by. Very happy the Messenger bag took the hit instead of me. I did crash, no real injuries, though, just a little bit of road rash on the elbows and knee. I saw the kid waving the bat out the window on my way down.

No plate number, but the police took the report and were honest enough to admit that it's not likely they can do much, unless the kids are caught red handed or I had been able to get the plate.

No bike damage either. There is that at least.......

PS, if anyone sees something like that pop up on you tube, definitely let me know......
