Video Preview

Introduction

So there we were.. quietly sitting at Starbucks having fun, laughing at the Gas Prices.. and mostly judging our chances of getting wet on a 5 mile ride home ! We decided to make a run for it on the cycles.. minutes later, only to be met head on by the oncoming path of the Tornado...

Text Size: +
Difficulty: Moderate

Tips & Warnings:

  • Really think about the chances of a major storm reaching you more quickly than the T.V. predicts. (although Computer Weather stations and television, do a great job usually..)
  • Focus on the End, not the means!
  • If you have a major distance to travel stay at Starbucks!
  • Don't let little brother tell you it will be alright!
  • Stay on the road, going off-road may even cause a bigger problem
  • Never Ever, Do this at your home, you know..
  • Don't look at (Randy) the fat guy in the video too long, lol he's sensititve!
Step1
Randy's Yamaha When you are faced with adversity to the point where surviving or not is questionable, you must make Big decisions! Clear, logical, progression producing thoughts must leave your head and act out in reality! Stay on the path you've chosen.. or Plan B.
Step2
My Yamaha Plan B. is not to be confused with "the right choice!" ..but being caught in the Storm with small "hail stones" beating our faces and legs was enough for us to at least consider Plan B. (abort the mission!) and how do we do that? If we slow down or ditch the bikes, the Tornado might actually catch us first..
Step3
Neighbor's other Barn, June 08 Clear decisions and progressive thoughts, we lost them somewhere back at Starbucks, ( a four shot Cappuccino might have not have been such a good idea..) We truly did face tragedy in the face and say, odds are we can make it to momma-san's crib.. one more mile! Without discussion) we decided tucked our heads and made our play..
Step4
This Cow was carried 4 miles to the next Farm! Just kidding... I just love this Cow so much! "Colder than a 'Ticket Takers Smile' at the Local theater.." we are taking a beating, seeing only a car length in front of us, the wind blowing our cycles four feet over and then back, but we "Do Not Panic" and don't expect a gift from above.. now, somehow Grandma has left her garage door open and has already prepared for the unexpected visit? Uh Huh? Wise, Matured, Experienced! We made it, no nerves of Steel, but and a commitment to keep going and accept the consequences.. God is Great, man..
