I ride to man Ive been hit 2 times. Not willing to give it up though because of that. Glad that your okay 30mph is plenty fast to fuk you up, lol. I hate the feeling of locking your breaks on a bike, there is literally nothing more you can do except brace for impact.
dude you know what they say, when you got a bike, it's not a matter of IF you'll get in an accident, its WHEN. fortunately you got away relatively unscathed bor. i had a bike in college and sold it before i ended up doing something stupid (was a crotch rocket so it was just begging to be rode hard like SB's mom). worst i got was a scar from a burn on the exhaust. 3 of my friends were not so lucky.
Seems like it was about this time last year we got our bikes, Dave. So far I've only had one very close call that resulted in nothing worse than some ugly rash on one of my pegs. I've been riding a lot again the last 3 weeks. As much as I hate to say it, I guess we're both about due.
