I took a 200 mile trip yesterday just to run errands. I almost got run over three times.

The first time an old woman who appeared to be in her 70's turned left right in front of me. Luckily, I was watching and managed to slow down enough to miss her. Thinking this is going to hurt me more than it does you.

The second time an old man pulled right out in front of me. He had no idea I was there. Again, I managed to get slowed down enough to miss him. Good thing I've got the reflexes of a cat.

The third time I was pulling out of a parking lot close to an intersection where two four lane city highways meet. The light was red and traffic was stopped. I had to cross 4 lanes of traffic plus the turn lanes and there was nothing coming. I made it across the first two lanes and was in the turn lanes when I noticed a guy in a truck darting from all the way across the street. He was looking toward the red light for on-coming traffic and away from me. He turned the wheel directly for me. It all was happening so quick, I couldn't find the horn button, so I clutched it and raced the engine WFO (his window was down) I had already started turning away from him but he was still turning towards me, until he heard the V&H pipes. At the last second he saw me and turned away. Loud pipes saves lifes?

By the time this happened, I was wondering if someone was trying to tell me something. An hour later the skies opened up and it came a downpour. "Is this what will finally get me today?" I thought. Rest of the trip was uneventful. When you least expect it, it'll happen. It'll happen so fast, it's scary!

It is a good thing we always wear boots..... It keeps that stuff running down our legs off the chrome 

What a day!

Yes they are! They're trying to tell you that the only way to ride is your knowing that everyone out there is trying to kill you. You ride like that, you can be sure your always at your sharpest. Expeience and practice along with 100% alertness, will help you be able to predict as much as possible, what's gonna happen, instead of reacting to it. Other than that, chit happens. Your job is to avoid being in the middle of the chit! Hoist!

I can see me in the hospital with broken arms and legs, in traction and say, OH Well, Chit happens.

For sure have to always be alert and drive defensively.
