got in some great riding the last two days, it's been nice.

today i was beatin' the **** out of the bike pretty good on some twisty stretch of highway and came upon a curve to the left that merged with a right curving on ramp

kinda looked like this i guess )( except the right roadway merged with mine

anyway, a merging car caught my attention and the next thing i know i'm about to kiss the concrete divider.

my ******* tightened up so fast and so completely that right then i could have eaten a lump of coal and **** out a diamond.

going completely against my brain's urges to slow down and steer thru the turn, i grabbed a whole bunch of throttle and pushed the left grip out and flew around, dragging footpeg the whole way.

when i was lookin at the car, i could hear myself saying NO NO NO, LOOK AT THE ROAD, i just got stuck staring at the car

ride safe folks, keep those eyes moving all the way thru the curve

 

Been there, done that...glad you made it through!

 

glad you handled it that well,heads up!!!

 

Wow. Glad you made it out. Had a similar situation a few months back. Went shopping for new underwear right after.

 

Target fixation can get ya. It has gotten me quite a few times in the past. Glad you made it through.

Just happened to me in Sturgis. Big sign with 4 girs sitting undder it on way to Custer national Park, sign said *******, I kept looking at their breasts and hit the yellow line. That should be against the law, showing ******* on a curve. Be careful out there.

 

I'm sure most of us can relate to that special moment, but very few can describe it so accurately and eloquently. LOL!!!

 

Learned the lesson several times in the dirt. Haven't done it on the street. Practice helps but it's kind of crazy how you'll steer where you look.

 

Last week on Hwy. 50 in California, I pulled the same stunt. Twisting mountain road with American River on the right side when the pick-up in front of me pulled onto a side road. I watched him go and sort of followed him; didn't pull out of it until I noticed the black turned to brown. Brain dead.

 

Yeah it gets hard at times when you're out enjoying the ride to
remember to keep your mind on what you're doing !
