a few years back i was riding my old 600f2 through boston, i was just comming out of the tunnel there was a car load of good looking girls in front of me checking me out. then all of a sudden one of their faces looked terified, she saw a wooden table top in front of her car and i could not see it until they tried to straddle it. "holey ****" it was all automatic reaction in heavy traffic at about 60 mph, at the very last second i managed to just get around the left corner just missing the cars to my left. the girls were happy but i had to check my pants after that it scared the **** out of me.

Blowing out of my apex and touching the car in the next lane with the end of the handlebars. Done it on both sides. Left side was a van and the driver did not see but the right side was a Cadillac, and the driver was uncomfortable. I also uncomfortable. Riding in the desert during thunderstorms is scary, too. Pace, Gris.

I highsided a month ago and that two seconds air time... I was hoping that I don't break my fingers (since I love playing my guitar) lol

Well 2 minutes later I was on the bike riding on the highway I got lucky I know... Next day I couldn't move my legs and my right shoulder was sore.
