[QUOTE="FJRBandit, post: 1240931, member: 17365"] Thanks Dunk! BTW - I saw that you had your bike for sale a few months ago. Did you sell it or change your mind? Thanks for the kind words Mihalis! It's nice to know that the report is being enjoyed half way around the world. Not taken that way at all! I appreciate the insight. It's one reason I have relived it over and over is to learn from my mistakes. Also, that's the reason I was so detailed in my description of the events, so that I could help others possibly learn from my mistakes and avoid making the same ones, like you said, [I]when[/I] the situation presents itself. Actually, just prior to the bottom dropping out we were seeking a place to pull over and wait it out until we got caught in the midst of it all. That's when all sensibility went out the window for me and I got focused on just finding an overpass, or even an exit. BTW gang - I meant to post my Spotwalla link at the end of the RR. (the Spot is waterproof and was sitting right in it's little Ram mount still mounted to the bars after the tumble, just as designed) [URL="https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=d3be555e70de598a9"]https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=d3be555e70de598a9[/URL] [/QUOTE]
