Just reading about the close call made my butt pucker. I'm glad that everything worked out safely for you. Good job.

+1 on the butt pucker factor.

* very well written
* aren't you glad you didn't live up to your moniker
* how do you think the sporty would have handled the situation?

RE: Hit a van yesterday!

Well since my name is Rick, a couple guys stared calling me Ricochet @ work when I was 16 yrs old and it just stuck. As far as if I'd been on the sportster, I can't say, but if it were to happen exactly the same I wouldbe more upset about it being damaged.

Ride safe!!!

Hey - aren't you glad you swapped scoots?! The cost of replacing the peg on the sporty would have bought the kid's van...

glad you came out vertical!
