Almost Dead
RE: Almost Dead
I am glad that you are okay, Michael. That is really scary. I tend to ride near the center line around corners. If you were closer to the center, you might not have been so lucky. I will remember this next time I am on going around corners.

RE: Almost Dead
Glad you were lucky on that one, we've been having too many bike accidents around here lately. Most times I will start in the outside and cut the inside in the middle of the curve, similar to police persuit training.
Where did you find hills around N.O., did you mean a bridge????? Just kidding.

Not to be too much of a smart arss but you asked for comments:
1) Change Underware
2) Get religion
3) Buy lotery ticket tonight
4) Find the two rednecks who ran and enlighten them in Cajun justice.
Count your blessings - I have been there but like someone else, I was lucky enough to be in a cage and they missed me. Glad you are still on the planet.

BLR, good to hear your situation didn't turn out worse. I don't know how they hit your mirror and not your grip, but apparently your guardian angel was working doubletime.

Besides, Iwatched Easy Rider again just a few weeks ago
Glad your ok, that was one of those need to pull over to get the adrenelin back to normal, misses.
I was taught to "straighten out" the curve.
There is a stretch here that has lots of twisties, that everyone loves to speed on, and I have not ridden it once where I didn't see half the cagers coming around these corners over the double yellow line. I keep my azz as far away from them as possible.
