I'd be very interested to hear from anyone with a similar experience or who can explain how a collision at that kind of speed did not end more seriously.
You are extremely loved by the Motorcycle Gods????

Seriously, Glad you're OK.

I'm glad you're o.k. You're very lucky. The gyroscopic effect created by your wheels turning at that speed contributed alot to the stability of your bike and your being able to handle that situation. Alot of folks wouldn't have done as well. Congratulations.

Glad you are OK man, I did chase a guy once who cut me off three times when I tried to pass him he tried to put me in the curb. So I did the right thing by getting his licence plate number, pulling over and calling the police. The police could not trace the plate number so the a-hole got away. Next time I wont do the right thing.
