Title: close call
Post by: frankieG on September 12, 2008, 06:18:54 AM
soo about an hour and a half ago i was on my way downtown the the clinic when i 5 tonne truck cut out in front of me.  i look at the driver and he was looking right over me so i was sure he did not see me.  l hit the throttle(cuz there was not time for anything else) and stood on the pegs waiting to eject upon the anticipated collision.  well i squeaked by.  barely.  i stopped and talked to the driver and as expected he said he did not see me and apologized.   i am sure for now on he will be keeping an eye out for bikes. so that is one less cager we have to worry about.   oh btw i rock....i am a motorcycling god :)
