well on my way to the basketball courts...i was cruising up the road approaching an intersection. My light was green when i was about 35 feet from the junction. Suddenly, this bitch makes a quick right to get infront of me - underestimating my speed. To prevent slamming into her rear driver's side door, i pushed the brake down.

Immediately, my rear tire started get loose and began going to the left. Trying to compensate for the skidding, i turned the front to the side making the rear come to the front as the front spun to the rear. Finally, i put my foot down as the bike came to a stop. The bitch just kept going ahead. I was scared as hell. I was practically creeping the way home after the game I was still shaking.

I hate people who don't pay attention to the road and other drivers, even if they are motorcycle drivers!

 

whew! glad you're ok man :bigok:

<-- has his share of scary stories :nervous:

 

i've always wanted a bike, but i know i'd probably die on it.

 

that's what i said before i bought mine. but now i see that once you get the feel of the bike and know how it acts - you're fine with it. Its really the OTHER people on the road you have to watch out for - cuz they aren't looking for you.

 

it is VERY difficult to estimate the speed of a motorcycle because of the lack of a substantial wheelbase. its easy for me to guage lights and the way a car bounces to discern its speed...motorcycles are tough.

 

haha today at school some dude was on a bike and he was going slow trying to maneuver through some columns that keep cars out of the lot. homie fell down. h:

 

glad your okay man

ya every1 tells me that when i get a bike ill kill myself, and i say more than likely is some other dumbass on the road who is gonna kill me

but glad ur in once piece

 

there's a very good article about motorcycle riding vs car driving in the current issue of SCC

 

that's why i won't get a bike here in Miami. people don't know how to drive.

 

thanks guys...its good to feel the internet love in a lonely house.
