How about some updates

Last week, I hit a Harley Davidson with my car.  Sweet!

This guy on a Harley blew through a red light as I was going through a busy intersection in Mankato.  I rammed into the back of the bike pretty hard, but he only wobbled a bit and stayed on two wheels.  He stopped a little way up the street, looked at the damage to his bike and then ripped off up the street.

I called the cops, but they pretty much just shrugged their shoulders and gave up.  They were like, "Yeah, we're not going to be able to catch him.  He's on a motorcycle.  We never catch motorcycles.  They run from us all the time."

It's not really a big deal.  I mean, it's not like my car is so pretty that I really give a damn about the damage, but what if he'd hit somebody who did give a damn?  And, you know what, that dude is lucky to be alive.  He wasn't wearing a helmet, (they aren't required in Minnesota) and had I been into that intersection any sooner, his face would be a smear on the concrete right now.
