I got alot of posting to catch up on!
Almost died Day before yesterday on my way home from work. When I left work I turned left, followed the road to the first stop light. Honda CRV full of teenagers pulls up behind me, I see them looking at me, pointing, oohh ahhhing at my bike and all that usual jazz you get from kids that age. We go through two more stop lights and they are still behind me. I hear yelling all the sudden, Look in my mirror don't see anything. Then I hear a beep, look in my mirror again and realize it's the teens yelling at me. So I get off my bike (this lights on a 5 minute timer at rush hour, yes it sucks) and go back to the car, ask the driver what he wanted, He says they want me to do a wheelie, Of course I'm not dumb enough to do that in the middle of traffic at rush hour LOL, so I just said sorry bud not today and went back to my bike and waited the light out. I make my left turn, they follow suit, I'm behind two other cars, then it's the kids behind me still coming down a hill in a 45 MPH zone, theres a turn off at the bottom of the hill, the car in front signals they are going to turn so they signal. I slow and so does the car in front of me, but the kids don't see it, I hear screaching tires and use my escape route to the left of the car in front of me and evade the situation. I look back and see the kids stopped about 3 inches from the car that was in front of me's bumper!
That was a close one! before careful brah, glad you avoided a rear end.
Anyway i'm probably gonna clean my bike and chain saturday. thing is dirty and spotty from riding in foggy/humid condition last week.
