Better Dead than Red..........
Or was that - "Better Ted than Fred"? Or was it "Chatter-head, well said"? Or maybe.........

I thought that was a movie. Neat little video though, some cool artsy shots of a Ducati single.

2-lane, chip-N-seal road, misting rain, hit a greasy spot when leaned-over pretty hard (for a 650lb+ bike) and the front washed-out on me; I struggled to keep it from going-down, next I know - I'm off in the gravel, then the WEEDS........... Managed to right it, figured "What the hey, bike's not 'crashed' yet, might as well keep on ridin' it out of here." So I did. I figure the drivers of the septic-sucker truck in front of me, and the guy in the SUV behind me (that I'd passed just 2-miles back) thought I was Insane. Happened so fast, I was too damn busy tryin' to save my life to be scared. Got a few miles down the road, THEN the adrenaline-rush hit me, I started shaking. I was O.K. by the time I got to work, though. The Wife don't know yet, dunno if I'll tell her or not. Probably elicit a beatdown if I do. Never stop riding it, 'til it won't ride anymore.

I see you need to practice your "layin' her down" skilz the bike pro'lly would have stopped sliding in time to avoid the weeds, then you could just up and dust yer-self off and be on your way instead of gettin' all shakey and ill-feeling.. Good save by the way, if that don't put the fear in ya' nothing will..

Call for Mr. Airhawk...
That's nothin...one time whilst astride the mighty KZ750 (punched out to 880 cee ceez) I got on the cursed 118 freeway at Balboa heading east. I got into the 3rd lane over, and was crusing along, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, the bike just started to move into the number two lane on its own. I looked over my left shoulder and there was a freeking giant black ford Extrusion nudging me over, with it's bumper pushing on the left rear turn signal. The driver of the monster was some soccer mom with her ear glued to a cellphone. Then, after I escaped that, a few hundred yards down the freeway where it goes under the 405 a wooden pallet fell off a truck and exploded, and I had to jump over what was left at about 70 mph standing on the pegs. You think that might have told me something about riding a motorcycle in LALA Land...but no, I ventured on to greater almost crashes...
