Thanks. Glad you're ok. Have fun and ride safe too.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, everyone.
This forum gave me a way to kinda work out the demons from yesterday.
Something weird that I left out of the original post.....immediately after the near miss, I remember laughing(not because anything was funny)....I could not stop.....most likely due to the fact that I was still alive. It was a strange reaction for me.
If this thread makes you think a little while yer out on the scoot...then I'll take that.
All of you are a good bunch.....be safe

The OP was not lecturing or advising others how to ride, he was just related a life changing experience, take it for what it's worth, no need for you to come down on him for being honest.

If you honestly believe that you are a moron. I have yet to see someone who adds more power not go out and try to see just how far they can push it, why else would you add horsepower? Having the power makes you want to use it, and having been a medic working full time on an ALS ambulance, I can tell you with certainty that all too often it leads to disaster.

I'm glad your ok...............but I think you should enjoy the fact that what you did is your own experience. Cause if this post is you telling me how to ride then this is me telling you to stuff it.
Not flaming you hard its just that I already have a mom and a wife........dont need anyone else telling me how to ride.

Ride any way you choose - but choose to do so where it is appropriate.

I never said I ride like a jackass as did the OP in his situation. I just said I dont need ANYONE let alone somebody via the internet telling me how to do anything let alone ride. I also never said I choose to ride like a bat out of hell when I'm out in public or have a chance of putting anyone in danger...............
And yes its true, I dont care what you think.........because last time I checked this is still America and I have a few rights of personal freedom left.

Well I can certainly understand that!
OBTW, you're not the only person with rights. And the one right you DON'T have is to tell others what they can and cannot say on a forum. You absolutely have the personal freedom to be a jerk, and I'll continue to defend your jerkdomness with my last dying breath.
I have the right to enjoy the public highways without being threatened by idiots who think they have "rights" to behave however they wish. That just ain't true, skippy. Try shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater and see what kind of personal freedom rights you actually have.
