Ken Kifer replies:
I have talked with a lot of bikers, and they've told me some stories. 
This one takes the cake:  A friend was riding his motorcycle down a back
street at a reasonable speed. A tractor-trailer caught up with him, and
then began to pass.  Before the truck was completely by, it started
making a right hand turn.  My friend, having nowhere to go, shot off the
road and into some rose bushes.  As he was picking the thorns out of his
skin, a little old lady came out and started beating him with a broom.

In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious
to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand
on the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future, which is
precisely the present moment; to toe that line.
