So the wife and I were traveling down the super slab today to meet up with some friends and we're coming up on 2 semis so, I move over to the passing lane and twist the throttle to get by them, and as I'm halfway past the first semi he decides to move into my lane to pass the semi that was in front of him! It this point I'm sh!tthing my pants and taking evasive manuevers as the dumb a$$ semi driver doesn't even notice me and forces me off on the shoulder of the road at 75 MPH. At this point I've drifted into the center medium which is all grass. I kept my wits about the situation and let off the gas when in the grass and did not touch the brakes until I felt I was once again under control. I'm not sure how I was able to maintain the bike up right but I managed to coast through until I was stopped. Talk about some scary ****. I'm no worse for wear but, my wife really got the bajesus scared out of her. We didn't go after the dumb a$$ cause it took my wife almost 1/2 hr to calm down and he didn't stop because I don't think he ever saw us. Scariest $hit I've ever been through!

 

Sorry to hear this. Riding in VA a semi drifted into my lane. I understand how you feel.

 

That would scare the crap out of you, glad your ok

 

Glad you guys made it through unharmed. If I were you I'd consider upgrading my horn. With the one I have...I WILL be noticed.

 

Damn! Glad to hear you kept control and came out OK!

 

That is scary crap. Great job hangin' on to it and keeping it upright!

 

Nice save!!!

 

Glad your OK!!!!

Our HWY dept. installed some "anti-crossover barracade" in our interstate's grassy medium, three rows of 1" steel cables.
That stuff SCARES THE SH*T out of me.
If anyone on a bike was force into the medium with that there......GAME OVER!!!

 

Nice job staying upright. I wish that was a rare occurrence, but it's not. I've had that happen, but never when there wasn't another lane to my left. Glad you didn't go down!

The last time it happened to me, I was run off the road by and old lady who had her window down. Even with my blaring stereo and loud exhaust, she came into my lane, and I tell you -- our bodies were shoulder to shoulder and even when I started blaring my horn, she still took the lane. She just kept staring straight ahead. I had to lane split at 75 mph until I could get ahead of her.

 

nice save! i just poosted in the one about the gf what happened, i guess i should have looked at the main tour page first!

hope your wife still wants to ride her own!
