Watch out for idiot bus drivers on Hollywood Boulevard.
The bus driver backs up, turns the bus into the boulevard and comes back at the cyclist who is now standing behind his bike. She comes a bit faster and pushes the bus against the cyclist until the bike is now wedged under the right front bumper of the bus.
Yeah, seriously. The bus driver first honked at the cyclist, then told him he had no right to the road, then ran over his bike. Twice.
And the LAPD, in their infinite wisdom, have said the cyclist may be the one to receive a ticket and have taken no action whatsoever against the bus driver, who obviously doesn't have any business with a driver's license as she doesn't understand the rules of the road.
From the God of Gonzo himself, Hunter S. Thompson, comes the brilliant piece of prose entitled "Song of the Sausage Creature".

Jimmy Franklin was a right crazy man, God rest his soul, but I think E. J. Potter takes the cake. He's riding a jet engine with wheels, fer chrissakes!
Combining 2/9 of a radial aircraft engine with some Boeing 767 tires gets you a Leonhardt V-twin custom, which is taking the whole "theme bike" thing to a new level. I love it.
