Well this is a pretty common story but today was the closest I got to crashing my motorcycle. I have it up in Maine with me and I was riding over to a friends house. I was cruising along at around 40MPH when a guy in a fullsized car decided to pull out from a parking lot on my right. I locked up the brake (by accident) and the rear tire squealed. He slammed on the brakes when he heard my tire. By that point I had better control of the brakes and went around the front of his car. There was not enough room to stop. He was 2/3 of the way out in the road by the time he stopped. I wish people would pay more attention. I have lost a good friend to this same situation and know of many others who have lost there lives due to being cut off by cars.

PLEASE! Check twice for motorcycles. You do not want to be responcible for someone loosing their life.

Thanks for reading and Ride Safe! :tmc:

THIS is why I no longer own a bike. Too many close calls that I had no control over.

It's not heaven . . . it's Iowa!
Glad you're okay :halo:

It's too bad people are too stupid to pay attention while driving. You should have put a crow bar through his oil pan. :fume:
