New feature: Scooter Firsts

Scooter Firsts will be a re-occurring section on my blog similar to my "Song of the Week" posts. I should have started Scooter Firsts back when I first bought my C3 but the idea didnt come to me till yesterday riding home from work.

I've had many blog worthy "firsts" since I've got my bike, like the time I got my first Bee sting in the face, or the first time riding to work in the freezing fog with no gloves, or the first time a dumbass car passed me in my lane when I was in the middle of the lane, or the first time a van pulled out in front of me where I had to break hard.

Yesterday was a similar one to one of the above but this one literally made my heart skip a beat.

I was riding along Diaz Rd, its a two lane stretch, so sometimes I have cars behind me, in this case I knew there was a silver Toyota behind me. Then out of nowhere a Harley passed him without me seeing it then preceeded to pass me on my right. The noise scared the crap out of me, loud as hell. Also the fact that I didnt know a motorcycle was behind me I was caught off guard. After my heart started pumping again, I laughed out loud. I dont get scared often but this came out of nowhere. :)
