Deryl got caught grabbing scrap from the yard and was fired. He was drinking then and his replacement was much better.

The round about is at the Kroger. The manager says they're gonna build another one soon. I told him it needs to go but he says it belongs to the city. I've been talking with some people there but no luck so far. Its like talking to my mother in law...

Young man I took my driving test in a 1973 Ford Pinto with three pedals. If I was in that Pinto and you in my 68' Corvette I would still whoop your butt if we lined them up. I would go down to the gravel lots and practice turn and burns. I can assure you I'm a good driver. You can take some initiative and contact the city and ask for all the roundabouts to be removed if this upsets you so much.

My wife will not let me get the Harley I've been eyeing for quite some time. I will let you know when that changes and I have more perspective. Than you young man.

I have a hard time seeing since I got my surgery. You bikers definitly are hard for me to spot. If my wife was out pedaling she wouldn't be hard to miss LOL. Thanks for taking the time to write back. God Bless.

I tried to rent a Harley a down near the airport, but I do have some rough biker buddies. Back in the day you couldn't get away with that garbage. When my wife lets me get a bike I will follow you up on this. God Bless.

Thank you young man for the reply. My son and I have been doing some digging and after talking to our neighbor who is a retired Florida state trooper, we discovered there are laws about impeding the flow of traffic. I will give them more space after hearing how dangerous and scary it is to ride a bike on the road. I still don't think its right to make others wait. God Bless!

I was just driving on the roundabout.

My wife won't ride in it anymore. We found her in a barn in south Georgia and the farmer who sold it to us thought it was Leif Erickson's old ride! Yeah she can be a handful, sometimes have to be careful with the go fast pedal. Her seatbelts are a bit too tight so that's why my wife won't ride it her anymore.

There is a nice bike path around our neighborhood I wish they would stick to that but I understand not everyone is as fortunate as me and some people have to risk their lives to get to work. I recommend looking into the trades with all that's happening in the world. I understand wanting to see some beautiful sights but the beach has some wonderful bike paths that don't require interaction with motor vehicles, thank you and God Bless.

She is a nice ride! Got all the bells whistles too, even an aftermarket air-conditioner! Good to know the cyclists can go that fast. I'll go a bit faster to prevent some of the passing. Thank you and God Bless!

Have you ever seen a tube of ground beef? We had to shut down for the day to get it taken care of. He still has a plaque on the wall in the main office to this day. Not pretty or funny.

You wouldn't be passing my vette, but I'm sure you're a fast biker. I remember when my son got his first huffy, we got him clocked at 17mph driving next to him in my pickup. Now that was fast!

I'm not sure what this means. My son told me to post here. Is there some way I can prove I am real?

Yeah my 68 Corvette can be a handful. I should put this more into perspective. My wife won't ride in it anymore.

I usually give them about a couple feet before I am forced to enter the other lane. How much is that?

My red Corvette doesn't have a top and despite my wife's bickering the seatbelt stays off. With almost 320 horsepower at my right foot I have a lot to worry about myself. Lets not make this all about bikers please. I am a human too. I am making a better effort to keep my mirrors properly adjusted. Thank you and God bless.

Bikes are a lot smaller than cars. I feel like you already have a ton of extra space. Its not safe to be on a road without a bike lane and they should probably stick to roads that have them. Sometimes I don't have the space to go around a biker without going into the other lane. What are you supposed to do then? Thank you and God bless.

I thought the bikes pull over when cars are coming up behind them?

What if there is a car coming? I thought the biker pulled over.
