Drove two hours to pick up a 1/2 processed beef today from the Amish. Got popped doing 81 in a 70 on the way home by HP Trooper Adams. I was being passed by a semi when he says he clocked me, cruise was set on 76 at the time. All business this guy, oh well, hand it to the attorney and move on. Ticket generated revenue is probably way down because Covid-19. Main traffic flow was doing 80+, whatever dude. Today just wasn't my day.
Got home unloaded beef into freezers and jump back in the truck to go grab a quick sandwich since its 9:30p by now. My dad calls and he is pissed, he just had a dude on a 49cc scooter run a stop sign and pull out in front of him on his Harley while on a 45 mph 4 lane road. Bike is totaled, scooter is glitter, dad has some road rash and a bad attitude. EMT want to take him, but he wont go cause he's a tight ass. Scooter dude has no insurance (not required here for 49cc <- total bullshit) I was like 4 mins away so I came to the scene. Cops are being cool, scooter dude is swearing it "ain't my fault cause he didn't see me". Cop hands scooter dude a citation for "failure to yield" and tells him to get moving. Hes coming back for the rest of the scooter later, with a trash bag or something, Chinese plastic shrapnel all over the side of the road. Dads bike runs, but shift lever is broken off, handlebars are bent up a little, gauges are banged up. Yeah, sure I can ride it home, lol. Its not far so I jamb it in 3rd and slip the clutch a little. Get it home and notice dads pants have a red stain. Along with some major road rash he has a puncture wound the EMT missed completely to his lower leg that looks like a bullet wound. That's gonna need some stitches. He drove himself to the ER. Hope tomorrow goes better for both of us.
