Mid Life Crisis?

A strange thing happened on my way to work yesterday. It was 100 degrees and a tail wind when I came to the trax arms being down on vine street. I heard a rumbling coming behind me and when I looked back 7 hells angels were approaching on Harleys. Bandanas and hair mixed with baldness swirlling in the wind. The trax arms raised, the angels looked behind them and then with a thunder took off. As I was pedaling down the middle of my lane,since I was going to make a left at the light, a huge thundering was coming from behind. I could feel the earth shaking and a deafing roar. Then there were
angels on the right, angels on the left, there I was, stuck in the middle with eddy, yes I was stuck in the middle with eddy. Hundreds of angels with their Harleys passing me, in front of me, behind me. I don't know which moment it happened but my hand went up, unsnapped my helmet threw it to the wind. I started pedaling fast and hard and made vrooming sounds with my mouth. For a few minutes I was free-I was a Harley Moma!
