You – Late 90’s dark beige sedan

Me – Attractive touring bike with nice components

I don’t know why I hesitated hooking up with you. I guess I’m just afraid that you are like the others and I will end up hurt again. The vacant stare of the dumbass, on a cell phone, who was driving you screamed ‘YES!’ but for some reason my terrified rider screamed ‘NO!’ I don’t know why, but anytime I get close to making a connection I freak out and put the brakes on. I’m sure I will have other opportunities for such flings, I can only hope that they won’t end in disaster.
