Default Now thats scarry!!

I had a near accident on my way to work this morning. I was traveling on a major highway doing about 70 mph. A big rig changed into my lane, no problem he signaled and let him in. Then it happened. I heard a loud POP and the road in front of me became covered with engine coolant! The bike started to go side ways. I closed the throttle and got enough control to get off the coolant covered lane. What a way to start the day!

Really scary experience. But still, be thankful that nothing serious happened to you. Be very thankful! Here in our place, a lot of people encounter vehicular accident particularly riding motorcycles. We all should be very careful while on the road.
