I was killed by a truck today
 
There I was, just riding along, enjoying the morning Sun when I saw a semi approaching in the opposite lane and a quick check of my mirror (handlebar mounted) revealed a pickup truck. It looked to me that we would all pass at the time which, as I'm sure all of you know, can be quite a thrill.

Well, the pickup didn't give an inch or even let up on the gas and hit me with full force. The last thing I remember before hitting the ladder rack is being upside down and looking at the driver. Now I'm kinda' just floating around the scene here while the cops talk to the dickhead that killed me and the coroner is bagging me.

The driver, Rick I think I heard him say was his name was, said he was in a hurry and that no damned bike rider was going to impede his progress and that I had no business being on the road in the first place.

Oh, gotta' go, the zippers closing and now the only thing left is for my wife to identify my partially decapitated body.

True.

Is your bike okay?

Have a nice afterlife.

It's cool that you can still post in the after life. Now I truly have no fear of dying.

Can I have your tools?

:wtf:

Trucks don't kill people, drivers kill people.

Walk towards the bright light.

And keep us updated.

I blame your mirror.

Doggus 08-27-08 08:38 AM

Is Pcad there yet?

redirekib 08-27-08 08:39 AM

Damn, that "Y" incision hurts...

jsharr 08-27-08 08:39 AM

If you end up in Hell, will you tell my soul I said hello and I miss it?

Hobartlemagne 08-27-08 08:39 AM

That makes me think of the poem "death of a ball turret gunner"

Don't worry - I'll take care of your wife. You can even float around and watch.

He'll be reincarnated as a worse Fred for that.

That sounds kind of hot.

jsharr 08-27-08 08:44 AM

The partially decapitated part has me confused. I would appreciate a little elucidation on that point. I mean, I cut my neck this morning shaving, so technically I am partially decapitated too, and you don't see me starting any "Oh hai, I got dedded, kthxbai" threads. Just saying.

Campag4life 08-27-08 08:54 AM

OP...this is your 4th incarnation on earth and as an old soul your DNA should have evolved to prevent such an occurrence. You are obviously squandering your time hanging out on BF.
In any event, try again and HTFU as mentioned.

Hey Jsharr - your avatar looks like a female reproductive system. ?

Dying is no excuse to stop riding.

well, we can all see where YOUR mind is at:innocent:

Hey, ya know what? It tickles when they ladle out your stomoch contents.

roadiejorge 08-27-08 09:04 AM

They have internet access in the afterlife? That's great to know because I'd like to send people e-mails once I'm dead, because haunting places is just so passe. I'm sure Pcad will be glad to know this as well since he can post about how much he sucks at riding in the afterlife as well.

You must have eaten something that tasted funny.
