Wonder if anyone else had a similar experience. Yesterday I'm riding on this road adjacent to a highway. In front of me is a pickup truck with two harleys in front of him. Traveling 50-55. Approaching a turn that leads to the highway ramp I decided to go straight and planned to turn off on a country road headed east. At the intersection I observed a rice burner, jock rocket, sitting waiting to enter traffic in my direction. The bikes and pickup turned right. I slowed down and sure as **** the ricer did'nt see me and pulls right out. I was prepared, but luckily the ricer handled his bike and there was no contact.
My first thought was not if I would have gotten hurt, but how I could explain being in an accident with a rice burner. I actually envisioned somrthing like this making the papers.

Yeah, that would be bad to make national news because you are one of two bikes that collided.
Good thing you were paying attention, sounds like the other guy sadly wasn't.
