Stopped at a light, a bucket truck comes from my left turning to his left. Light turned, I happened to be first behind the truck. What I thought was large volume of exhaust fumes blowing out behind him, I quickly noted it was a white fine powder. Backing off quickly and slowing traffic behind me, I noted my leather jacket was covered with this unknown white stuff. Looking over the bike, it too was covered as well as a coating of it on my pull down face mask. I was about a block behind him and looking at him still blowing off an unknown substance. I turned off to my destination, parked and had to take
a towel out of my box and start wiping all this stuff off everywhere. Yes, I was pissed enough to go home, contact the police
department and was asked to contact the mayor, which I did. The mayor was very concerned about my report and was to follow up on all this. In looking up the trucking firm on the internet, I phoned them with a answering service and only left a phone number but never received a return..this was prior to calling the mayor. No end here to this story yet but I will put in here whatever the results will be. No, I couldn't see whether the bed was covered which is the law. Big Concern here too, what did I breath in???
