Glad you're OK man. You were good to stop and help. You must have had an angel with you that day!

RE: He almost got me
Been thinking about your close call of yesterday. I feelpretty well trained to avoid situations and how to react when there's a few seconds to avoid a crash. But, those split second threats on a curve are the worst... it seems like even mamas in minivans don't have the skills or care to stay on their side of the double yellow anymore.
All the more reason tounderstand and practicehow to aggressivelylean, countersteerandhow to/to not brake in the twisties.
Glad you made it!!!!!

No matter how much experience we have or how good we think we are there are those things that are unavoidable. Definition of an accident: unavoidable, unexpected and unintentional.

One lucky hombre. I do alot of mountain riding here in Japan and it's not the cagers that worry me, at least not in the mountains. I'm always on the look out for the bonsi ricers that come up fast and squeeze the lanes.
