Title: Close call

The video sights rider skill but I think a good bit of luck was involved in this one:  http://www.kens5.com/news/Close-call-Car-loses-control-and-nearly-hits-motorcyclist-144753165.html

That was awesome.  Would the gs be able to accel that fast in the same situation?

That was awesome.  Don't think a GS could do that in that amount of time.  Maybe you could brake then swerve to the right after the car slid past.

drop one and floor it, as well as hug the divider a gs COULD.  love this quote
"When I drive from here to Schertz, it happens five to six times," Bochat said. "Something like that, a car violating my right away. It happens all the time." Umm cathy both sides are guilty of this charge lol. but this rider ( in the video PAID attention during his msf. ) OR he was at teh right place at the right time
