Heading back to Maryland. Leave is never long enough, but it'll be nice to see my Jeep crew again.

Comanche is stronger than a Tahoe Hybrid. Details to come.

Alright, finally stopped for gas and food.

**** big cities, **** traffic, and **** *****es who can't drive.

I was leaving Cleveland in rush hour traffic—basically in a rolling gridlock—in a heavy downpour. Some Indian ***** in a hybrid Tahoe forced her way in front of me without signalling, and then she slammed on her brakes.

I tried to stop, but her brakes are better than mine, even if the roads were dry and I didn't have 700lbs in the bed. My clevis tab punched a hole right through her bumper, and she called the police. She said she was in front of me the whole time, and I just wasn't paying attention.

Cops didn't cite me, but I'm at fault for the insurance claim. I regret not driving away.

Anyway, the bike is fine. Here ya go:

well at least the tahoe was hurt more. I hate how a rear-end is automatically the person in the rears fault. When I get another gopro (hero 3) I'm really thinking about just using it as a dash cam. If nothing happens, delete it. if something happens I have video proof, or can put something funny on youtube or w/e.

I would just spend the money on a collision camera, way better since they record automatically. I had one of those in Raider for my insurance when I first started driving, I caught a few wrecks with it and got innocent people outta hot water because of it. They record 10-15 seconds before and after an "event" is triggered by sensors in the camera, and they have a little button you can hit that does the same thing. But with these bumpy old jeeps they go off all the the time. there's a British company that makes really good ones for fairly cheap, can't remember the name though.

Anyways, reminds me of the first wreck I was in tim! Some ****** in a little Toyota sedan was tailgating me though the neighbor hood, on icy roads and rear ended me. Basically totaled the car, not even a scratch on Raider. Oh and guess who didn't have insurance to begin with and got a big *** ticket, not me!

Sorry Tim. I hate accidents. I've had *******es do a truck driers left turn and I was at fault. It's too hard to prove the other person is at fault unless there are unbiased witnesses.

And before people ask, a truck drivers left turn is when people swerve right to go left
