Thing is, when you\u2019re blasting your tunes on a motorcycle, everyone around you can hear them too. I think I lost some street cred because of that today.<\/p>\n<p>I was riding down a busy street here in the San Fernando Valley, weaving in and out of traffic, music playing, feeling good. A light turned red up ahead and twin columns of cars backed up in front of me, so I just lane-split my way to the front. So I\u2019m sitting there between the two front cars, stereo blaring, singing along with it a little, when I noticed that the BMW to my left had its window rolled down and there was a hot blonde in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at her. She looked at me. Our eyes met. I give her a little nod \u2014 we were sharing a moment. Then she turned to the driver and said something, and they both looked at me and started cracking up. That\u2019s when I realized just what song it was that I was blasting for the whole intersection.<\/p>\n<p>John Mayer. <em>3X5<\/em>.
