A shocking experience must read... Encase this could happen to you..
A shocking experience...
I was browsing the Internet looking for an old bike that I used to own and I actually ran across it..
I must've been about 15 years old when I had this bike the throttle never worked so I had to use the kill switch to get going..
I'd bump the kill switch the bike was at full throttle so it whizzed down the street and when I wanted to stop I would throw the kill switch on and off and hit the brake . To keep it for not going anywhere and make it stay running I would have to hold a break and tap the kill switch back and forth..
Now you have an idea how the bike stayed running...
Now this is where the shocking experience comes in y'all remember the headphone sets you buy at the dollar store a long time ago the ones that are made out of metal and sounded like static when you listen to it.
I had those on one day I was going down the street in Jacksonville, Florida 103rd no traffic was on the road it was a back road coming up to a stop sign there were three girls on the right-hand side of me and man they was looking fine..
Fondling with the kill switch I drop my player so being like Rico Suave I turn the bike around and it gave me a good reason to take a second look at the girls..
As I bent reaching for my player looking up at the girls it was like a bolt of lightning my ears ring my jaw popped a side of my face got Tingley and I made this horrible sound out of my mouth like I was trying to pronounce O and gargling with listerine at the same time... I did this retarded sound as I looked like I was going into a convulsion...
Remember I was on the kill switch rotating it back and forth to keep the engine running ..
After the fourth pop and my jaw and with tears in my eyes I couldn't handle no more I was about to barrel roll into the ditch because I couldn't take no more shocks.
When the bike completely shut off and I had my wits I noticed the end of the cord from the headphone set was wrapped around the spark plug which had no protection cover on the spark plug causing me to get electrocuted right through my ears and that was the cause of my jaw popping out of place and the noise coming out of my mouth and the water in my eyes...
Yes this is what I looked like below when it happened.......................
Needless to say I never decided to take that street again because I remember the faces on them girls looking at me like I had an arm growing out of my head...
This was truly a shocking experience..

I need to make the trip myself ...
Think the last time I was out there was about a month ago just like only three of us showed up it was a pretty sad turnout I think the economy is killing everybody...
I definitely need to do it soon before my engine comes out of my motorcycle to be rebuilt.........
Oh yes I remember when there was good turnouts like days like this when we all used to group up and ride together...
I can't understand why all of us was in a rush to make it to the spot...lol
