Nope.

Protected and secured.

Shield.

Heh. Article stated the motorcade continued without stopping. i pictured the rest of the convoy just driving over the thrown deputy and saying , "What is with all these speed bumps?"

Also colombian hookers

I presume all motorcyclist hate speed bumps. They're bad enough in my truck.

Preident Barrack Obams's Limousine "The Beast" gets stuck when leaving the American Embassy during his 2011 visit to Dublin.

The secret service call a bus to block onlookers from witnessing President Obama from exiting the limo.

Nice try, Bobby Petrino. Still not buying your story.

Keen was taken to a Tampa hospital, and the motorcade continued to its destination without stopping.

Again the liberal media ignores the real story: "Obama Flees Accident Scene".

If you just raise your butt off the seat a couple of inches, you can pretty much fly right over them and barely notice. The motorcyclist in the article was either not paying attention, or riding a shiat bike like a Harley.

Seems appropriate see that the whole country is going over a speedbump called Obama

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Quasar: Man: Eagle One Six, this is Eagle Five Five, come in. We have a situation up ahead.
E16: What's the situation Eagle One Six?
E55: There's something in the road. It's like... it's like the ground is raising up into the air.
E16: Say again, Eagle Five Five.
E55: The ground! It's raised up to form a kind of massive obstacle two, maybe three inches high!
E16: Jesus christ, Randy, that's a god damn speed bump.
E55: OH GOD I'M HIT

Very nice, would LOL again

Ayup; you guys are cute.

This is bigger than you.

;)

During the Clinton years speed bumps were...

Good thing he has government-provided healthcare.

I blame Obama!

The trap is set!

namatad:
isnt this why some bumps have a gap in the middle?

Usually, they do that for drainage, so you don't end up with big puddles.

They're nice to have when you're riding bikes, though

he sacrificed himself to save the president... what a hero

damn terrorist speed bumps restricting our freedom to speed

They put in speedbumps at a shopping center a few years ago that were juuuuuust a bit over spec. They also painted them black.

They were so high a Ferrari owner sued the crap out of them. From what I remember, it was night and he hit the first one going about 15 mph. He hit his head on the roof and it tore up his undercarriage.

The speedbumps were hastily removed and replaced with wide yellow lines.

I had never seen speedbumps like those. I was driving a crappy old light truck and I still parked at the end of the parking lot and just walked.

Good thing they got 'em out. Could have been tried for sedition.

They oughtta just give the Presidential Limo contract back to Ford, but then the Feds don't owe them...

the bumps at a winco grocery store here are ridiculous too.. but you can get over it fine as long as you literally go no faster than 1mph. the best bet is to stop completely before hitting it, than slow bring the tires up over the bump.. front than back. it's a busy lot too, so it always gets backed up due to this overzealous shiat.

Before any grammar nazis comment.. yes, I realize I incorrectly typed 'than' twice.

Did he marble his bike?

Yup, t'were crazy. The bad part was you couldn't see the damned things at night, and even during the day they tended to blend in.

Hopefully some guy who can afford it fixes your problem, too.

in my experience with a harley only good i ever liked from them was the 2005 sporster models

To be fair, speed bumps - - - - and Colombian hookers.

.wish i'd had the camera on me when 20 years ago we had speed bumps installed on our regular
backstreet way to get home. one night we took some paint and a small roller and turned all the
pavement-printed "hump" lettering into "CHUMP" lettering...

SoCalSurfer: Also colombian hookers

You have my attention, good sir...

namatad: isnt the whole point of a speed bump to greatly reduce your speed?

Occasionally the goal is to reduce speed. But much more often the point of speed bumps is to try to substitute driver annoyance for actual traffic engineering, with the hope that annoyed drivers will make some choice contrary to what they would do without the bumps -- while annoying drivers doesn't do much to mitigate the underlying traffic issue, and in fact may cause new problems or even accidents, it's by far the cheapest option, and it looks a lot like effort to the untrained eye.

namatad: LOL
if there were only some kind of math and measuring tools which you could use in advance to determine and prevent things like this.
LOL

Indeed. I used to work in corporate event management and would personally recce every venue in advance to ensure that our truck would be able to get in and out safely. I had about £200,000 worth or AV equipment in the back. If it's worth me doing it for £200k of equipment and a pharmaceutical conference, it's probably worth somebody taking the time to recce on behalf of the POTUS.

Good job he didn't come up against one of these.....lord knows what might have happened:





/my favourite UK road signs. Make me laugh every time.

Good thing this was not a high speed pursuit. I wish I could find a picture to back up my gut feeling that this officer may regularly enjoy a certain circular breakfast pastry.

Why does President Obama hate white people?

Depends on the suspension type. I currently ride a supermoto (converted dirtbike) made for absorbing jump landings so I barely notice anything smaller than a 6 inch curb. On my past bikes, especially the ones with damper rods (the cheapest type of suspension) they are a pain in the ass. Literally.
