Holy crap that sucked. Moron in the truck was probably so busy with a cellphone that he never even realized he nearly killed two people that day.

Speaking of cell phones, I'm still shocked to see people on the phones when it is illegal.

That bike, the BMW, I'd love to take that for a spin...

two things saved them that day, his excellent defensive driving skills, and the level of technology that BMW has put into the bike. I have put the old savage down in the grass doing barely 15 MPH before, so for this guy to keep control at 60 MPH is very impressive.

That is wayyyy to close for comfort..
I would have turned around and went
for a license plate #.. Or given him or her
a real piece of my mind.
Well ok after I cleaned myself up.. Glad he
was able to maintain control. Great riding
skills do come in handy, as well as being
alert.. :) kim
