On Tues I rode to Yorkville to meet a friend. After the meeting I left at around 7:30 pm. I pull out of Yorkville onto Bay St, hang a right onto Bloor and riding in left lane. Within 5 secs of the turn a girl on a black ninja 250 whips by me cutting it pretty close. We pull up to the Yonge light and I pull up beside her. She looks at me, I look at her and give her a friendly nod even thou she skimed me pretty close but whatever I say.
At were sitting at the light I'm checking her out. She's wearing some sort of ballet style shoes, some sort of black dressy pants, an open cardigan and some sort of shirt underneath (I can't remember if she was wearing gloves), She has her purse or something bungee webbed onto the rear seat. I say to myself "squid" but whatever, to each his/her own.
Light turns green and I let her go first cause she was there first. Boom she takes off like she wishes she was on a litre bike, lanes splits between a cabbie and some other car, ziggy in zagging out, then another lane split between 2 cabbies (mind you were on Bloor where the cabbies are just looking for fares and will swerve, u-turn etc to grab the fare). The whole while I'm watching the bag strapped down to the back of her bike shifting all over the place like it was going to fall out and her open cardigan whipping behind her like a cape.
She stops at the Jarvis light and I decide not to pull up beside this idiot again so stay behind with a cabbie between us. Light turns green. Boom there she goes again, now this is where it gets really interesting. We're in the right lane and Bloor sweeps right just after Sherbourne, she jams on her brake to a full stop. The cabbie behind her has to jam on his brake and me being behind him switch to the left lane and pass. There is a HUGE shoulder on the right of the road and I thought that something is really wrong so I pull over into the HUGE shoulder to offer some assistance. I look back to see that she is now off her bike (which is still in the middle of road blocking the right lane) and traffic starting to bulid up behind her. I see this chick running down the middle of the road avoiding oncoming cars like Frogger. I'm sitting there thinking WTF is going on. After about 75 M I see her bend over and pick something off the road (which I guess fell out of her flappin cape).
I shake my head and ride off hoping to never see or have to ride with this lunatic again. If you drop something, sure go retrieve it but don't leave your bike in the middle of a live lane on Bloor. I don't know what this girl is thinking but if your reading this you know who you are and need to freaking smarten up. If you want to ride squid, ride the way you ride and kill yourself, fine it's your life but when you endanger all the lives around you then you don't deserve your license.
That's my story.
