Default Made a little kid's day

I was on my way home from the gym and some shiny black car isn't stopping behind me at a light... It pulled up beside me, so I looked over to see if I needed to LEAVE, like NOW.

I look at the driver, and it's just some woman. And she's motioning to look at her kid in the back seat- who's about 6 or 7 and grinning like mad SO I relaxed and opened my shield, and she says "My son loves bikes..." and I chat with the little guy till the light changes, blip the throttle, tell him to be careful, wear his gear, and have fun. While he's reciting the list of bikes he wants, the light changes. I said "Have a nice weekend" and did a little wheelie, leaving mommy's Jag and whatever was in the other lane far behind.

I was a good influence (mostly) today.

Unless the kid someday decides to buy a gixxer and the frame snaps in half....

Good on you.

Maybe now, the kid won't grow up to be a lawyer.

very nice,

it's always cool to stop at lights and see little kids faces plastered against thier window looking at the bike. they don't seem to care what style it is, only that it's on two wheels.
