I almost hit a incoming car when the back tire lost its grip in a twisties. It was drizzling; guess leaned too much. When it slipped, I had to raise up and straight head to the car. I was hopeless but the driver saved my day when he already noticed me struggling and stopped his car. I gave him a thumbs up and rode off.

Yes. It is true. I have ridden l i k e fleshy, salted squid before (except in full gear).

Straight, two lane road. 55 mph. Middle of Utah Nowhere. Go to pass Gramps in his Winnebago, here comes a Buick in the other lane. Nowhere to go, so I scoot next to the RV as close as I can, my mirror almost touching, until the car goes past. Thank god for narrow Ninjas.

Straight, two lane road. 55 mph. Middle of Wyoming Nowhere. Get distracted by seeing the same nothing repeatedly. Front tire leaves the road surface onto the gravel shoulder. Rear tire follows. Rally race over bumpy grass and rocks at full speed. Purple twinkies escape. Managed to keep it upright as I slowed down, still on the shoulder, cause the asphalt road edge was too high to get back on. Thank god for solid built CBR 600F2's.

I have came within inches of getting hit by 2 people. one going backwards on the interstate ramp in Cincinnati, dunno how I swerved around him....then last year a guy was going to try to turn before our light turned green (he had a turn arrow but not when he got to the light) I was rolling up to the light about 35mph and it turned green, so I started going (was in the middle lane of a 6 lane street) and I am right at the light when I see this guy in the middle of his turn and I hear a big smash...thank god the truck beside me hit that car otherwise he would have hit me...and he almost did was literally inches from me....and then last year I was turning right and took off kinda fast i guess and my back tire started sliding out from under me...but I managed to come out of that one.
