RE: almost wrecked tonight!
Close call man! I just had one myself - I went riding tonight because the weather is finally nice again (21 C or 70 F) after a week of snow and cold weather. I was out cruising and decided to go down to the popular strip where all the hotties hang out. I was just turning off the strip on to a side street when an asshat parked close to the turn just jetted out in front of me without even looking! I was only doing about 20 km but I had to slam on the brakes and the tires locked up because instead of just going he slams on his brakes once he saw me skidding (gravel on the road as well) - frikin' idiot!! I was about a foot away from him when I stopped - then he takes off!
Oh well - it made me aware anyways - be careful out there!

nothing pisses me off more than when someone pulls out in front of you and then sees you and stops when they are already in your f'in way! [sm=violent053.gif]they could at least keep going when they pull out but no they always insist on stoping right in your lane. good to hear your still upright. cant be to careful. theres a lot of bad drivers out there

i hit a deer once...knocked the **** out with one punch...then dragged it home and ate it.
remember in MSF when they said if you lock the rear brakes, keep them locked? you can still steer the bike that way. however, in many high speed cases...when you let go of the rear after it locks, the only place you can steer yourself is to the moon...

on my way back from my girls house a deer came out of nowhere. very close i thought i was going down for sure ihit my back brake to hard my *** end started to come out soi left off and swerved just barley missing the deer went off the side of the road into the gravel. i managed to keep the bike up somehow i hurt my ankle in the process when i hit the gravel, my back end slid out again and i slammed my foot down...very close call. i usually dont ride at night but i ended up stayin up a litte there a little late.
watch for deer everyone them bastards always come out of nowhere!
