[ST] Just when I thought...

[Steve Lawler <slawler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

...that I've seen or heard of every kind of obstacle that can pop up 
while riding I encountered a new one today.

At about 6:45am I was heading east on 34th St in Manhattan. There were 
two garbage trucks heading west when something yellowish and looking 
like a liquid came flying toward me. I wasn't sure if it came from the 
back of the first truck or the front of the second one. I figured if it 
came from the first one I got sprayed with some sort of disgusting 
liquid that splashed when the truck hit one of those popular NYC pot 
holes. If it came from the second truck then the driver was an a$$hole 
who threw his coffee at me. I didn't want to panic stop so I continued 
to the next light. I look down at my chest and find that I was wrong on 
both counts. No crud. No coffee. Just Silly String. The @#$%&#% truck 
driver shot me with Silly String. No damage done, but I can only imagine 
what it would happen if it hit someone square in the visor/glasses/goggles.

Obligatory ST content: 8600 major-problem free miles and still on the 
stock BT57's. The rear is a little squared off and the front is starting 
to cup. I'll be getting new rubber once the snow starts to fall here in 
the northeast. Any thoughts on the Mez2 or Mez4?
