The only explanation is that I was following too closely, so the only way to avoid the collision was to kiss the asphalt. The bike is running again, and, thankfully I only suffered road rash and a bruised ego. Gratefully now, I remembered my training and avoided a much more serious outcome.
Seriously consider the Experienced Rider Course offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation - they are on your side. It saved my neck, and it can save yours, too.
Those rider courses are a wast of money,I never or my wife or my brother,39 years and over 150000 never been down,Wife 45000 miles never down,Brother over 200000 miles and never down.People must take those courses and think they know how to ride and don't, that you can only teacher your self,Like you learned how to walk and ride a bicycle.
