Glad it all came out good. Amazing how people don't see us. Last night after dark guy passes a vehicle while I am coming the other way. If I hadn't braked and went to the side would have been hit head on. Now how can't you see a bike with its lights on coming at you after dark for gods sake.

I had a close call today too. I am cruising down hwy 76 at about 55, there are several cars in both lanes, I am following at a reasonable distance when all of a sudden all the cars in front start to lock their brakes up-- as if some puppy ran out in front of them. I lock mine up too. Skid for a few yards, and swerve around the car in front of me. Pretty scary for a moment.
It can happen quick, be careful.
