[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1379045, member: 19411"] Leo, Glad to know you were not injured. Many excellent comments here and my thanks to all for the reminder to be ever vigilant when on two wheels. I am 75 years old and all my riding is pleasure so I can pretty much select where and when I ride. Lady luck has been on my shoulder for over 55 years. In 1960 I lost traction on a sharp curve where the county patched the surface with loose gravel on the tar. I was going to a family reunion. My parents were following me in the family car. Bike went into the weeded shoulder and front wheel fell into a hole. Bike hoisted me into the air landing sending me into a corn field on my back. I lost my left sneaker and never found it. The bike's front fender was damaged and the handle bars tweaked. During then and now I have dropped a bike or two in my drive way or once at a gas station. Reading these accounts of other's mishaps makes me more aware of the need to be a defensive rider!! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/bike.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
