We as a society really need to stop calling motorcycles “bikes.” Because when I saw a headline in the New York Post that read “Lohan Hit By Bike,” I immediately started laughing. I was picturing some Chinese food delivery guy on a Huffy ramming into a drunk Lindsay Lohan, and an ensuing shower of General Tso’s and vomit that littered the sidewalks of Manhattan.
But instead, I ended up reading about how Lindsay Lohan was swiped by a motorcycle late Friday night, and I felt bad. Partly out of concern for Lohan’s safety, but mainly because I knew the article wasn’t going to be nearly as funny as I had anticipated.
Here are the details of the collision from the Post…
There’s this one bar near me where lots of motorcyclists gather at closing time. They rev their engines and show off their bikes in an effort to impress the drunken girls that are stumbling out. Most girls aren’t that impressed but you’d be surprised at the number that go over and talk to the motorcyclists. Sometimes they even go for rides, and who knows what happens from there.
Anyway, Lindsay Lohan is a big star and attracts the attention of men wherever she goes. Therefore ordinary pick-up tactics aren’t going to work on her. Was this motorcyclist acting dangerously when he sideswiped Lindsay? Or was he just stepping up his game to get a date?
