Two-finger hills...

[mrhtbd]

Been riding the motorcycle A-Lot lately. Ok, ok, "Yes, I installed two new tires!" Ha! Anyway some Jeepy-Jeep drove past me today while I was waiting for traffic. Because I was rear-ended a few years ago in stop-n-go traffic, I don't stop right behind vehicles anymore, just to the one or other side of their bumper. That way if someone's going to rear-end me I have an escape route. Anyway I was to the left and a Jeepy-Jeep pulled up past me. Ha, really? I just pulled in front of them, no wave, no finger. Although thoughts of smashing their side window, Or ripping off their mirror flashed through my mind, I noticed after that they were hanging back. It was a two-finger hill; quite steep, where I used two-fingers on the brake. Made me scrutinize other hills in my life. Rarely do I encounter a four-finger hill, as I have trained myself to handle situations with one or two. Hmmm, all this motorcycling has done wonders for my confidence. Most situations at this point can be maintained with one finger (the one used is your choice) but the worst life has thrown of late is only two-fingered. Things are manageable, time I was stepping up...
