So the loading of the ferry this morning was messed up....
I normally lay back and let the hop heads go first, as I am not interested in ego winning speeds.
But this morning I was second in line, two abreast. The gent adjacent to me on a harley dresser I knew was no speed demon either. So I thought I would allow a break between him and me so these go fasters could get their fix.....
However, the two lanes in front (where the ferry empties) had two slow cars and it got all bunched up.
Normally I take a short cut to work through some hills and windy roads, but I knew they did too, so I opted to stay on the main drag. It is just a two way road with 40MPH limit.
I got to the turn off, where I make a left into a turning lane, had my signal on and slowing as it was red....
This yahoo on a big Valkyrie jams by me on my left, after I had already entered my turning lane....
If I had moved a mere few inches further left into my lane, we would have tangled....
I never saw him until was abreast of me.
I am glad I ride in control and am not given to make impulsive maneuvers. I try and minimize my exposure to risk.
He had to brake hard as he was going too fast, or he would have ran into the intersection WHICH, took a good 4 minutes to turn green, yea, he saved some time there
I know this guy, he is older, he works where I do, but we don't wotk together. We park by each other tho.
I told him that could have been bad, as we were parking, he mumbled something, not sure what it was.
He doesn't seem to be a jerk, maybe had a lapse of judgement, not sure....
I am just glad I didn't. Bad enuff looking out for cagers, your own bro's should not put another rider at risk like that, they should know better.....
Be safe gang, always ride with your antennas up, you gotta catch that wave of danger before it catches you....
Peace!
