Almost got Wiped Out Today
On the way home from work, eased up to the front of the red light line, no hurry, just taking advantage of being on the scoot. Light turned green and I started through the intersection. Some jerk off in a Toyota, blew through the light from my right, in the right turn lane, but didn't turn, kept on straight through the intersection and almost took me out. I was close enough to see the totally lost look on her face... but did she stop, nod or even acknowledge.. NFW. So glad for once I was really taking it easy. Sorry had to vent, just keep your eyes open and don't hit the throttle going through the lights. Some people have their heads up their A$$es.

Twice I've been stopped at a red light minding my business. I hear the sound of screeching tires. I check my mirrors and see nothing coming behind me, look to my right and see a big fat SUV go skidding through the intersection. I've had my bike for 7 months now and that has happened to me 2 times and both times it was a lady yappin on a cell phone (no offense to the ladies on the forum of course). Pretty scary stuff.
Glad to hear you're safe though.

LOL, thanks for the laugh, needed it. I've heard it said that stressful situations make for the best $ex but, not this one for sure. If I'd have chased her, would have given her something other than the fun schwang.

Yeah man, I never blow through intersections.. WAY to many f*ck tards who drive like morons. If a light turns green, and I'm in front, I always look every way before I cross, and behind me usually. Gotta keep that 6th sense turned on, ya know?

yeah man, one thing I do as a rider vs driver is always count to "2000" before I pull through an intersection.
Nice save! The people behind me may not love me but I will give the same caution you did to each intersection!

Thanks!
You know what, thanks everybody, it's nice to get this kind of positive feedback and support. My wife is giving me **** about riding and talking to everyone on the forum, but this is great. Glad I joined and shared!
