2 days old and almost wrecked

Had a very close call on a motorcycle once. I was 22 years old and was about to head out after I got the green. Some older guy in a Ford Explorer (who was next to me) cut in front of me on purpose. At first I was pissed but when I saw another SUV fly through the intersection I realized what he did. I chatted with him for a bit and learned his son was killed on a motorcycle at an intersection about 10 years prior. I still ride but I have NEVER forgotten that incident each and every time I'm at a light. He saved my life that day no doubt...

I still visit him once in a while but he's in his 80's now so it's not so easy. I was lucky and sounds like you were too. It's just crazy how idiots don't pay attention (like women on cell phones) but some of us 'gentleman' (not me) are stupid enough to street race. Think about it.

Set an example and be safe out there. Do it for you and your family...
