glad to hear ya came out alright.
When traveling during rush hours (morning and evening commute) assume all drivers play a game where they win money for driving stupid and get bonuses for hitting motorcycles.

When I was younger I used to haul *** all over the freeways in Austin. It didn't bother me a bit. Now I look at you guys that ride to work in the big cities and am pretty damn impressed at your skills and perseverance. I ride to work if it's not raining or super cold, but then I go in at 5:20am, and come home at 6:30pm- hardly anyone on the road around here then. But even with the odd times, it's still just Wichita Falls- pretty small for a city. I would not be too excited about doing it during rush hour in Dallas or Houston. I guess if I was in the mood to slug it out, yeah, but to have to everyday? That might get a little old.

Glad to hear of a miss than a hit! I still remember the look on the girls face that hit me, right when she looked up.

It was not a 180* approach, but about 10* off. The car moved quickly out of line like it was going to pass & hadn't gotten fully into my lane. When their headlight went by my left grip by inches, it was still angled toward my lane. It must have crossed my path just behind the rear tire.
