A man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from
Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City
before the mountains became too much and he could go no
farther.
So he stuck his thumb out...and after 3 hours hadn't gotten a
single person to stop. Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled
over and offered him a ride.
Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car. The owner of the
Corvette found a piece of rope lying by the highway and tied
it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and told
the man that if he was going too fast, to honk the horn on
his bike and that he would slow down.
Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly,
another Corvette blew past them. Not to be outdone, the
Corvette pulling the bike took off after the other. A short
distance down the road, the Corvettes, both going well over
120 mph, blew through a speed trap. The police officer noted
the speeds from his radar gun and radioed to the other
officer that he had two Corvettes headed his way at over 120
mph.
He then relayed, "...and you're not going to believe this,
but there's a guy on a 10 speed bike honking to pass."
