Glad to hear that you weren't hurt. Riding is sometimes more a question of avoiding the idiots than it is enjoying the ride. The 4 wheelers out there seem to view us as either targets or we are invisible.

Good save. I often wonder if there are more idiots on the roads these days, or perhaps I'm just more observant?

Nice save.

Hope you don't need to do that again anytime soon!
