[QUOTE="08FJR4ME, post: 1340007, member: 14242"] I had a simular experiance a few years back in Cumberland Gap KY. I was running 20+ into a blind left hand corner. I was stradling the yellow line on my side but the bike was hanging over. Then a Honda civic came around the corner and he was haulin ass also late for a wedding being a best man and all. He was over the line heading in my direction. We both corrected and brushed each other as we passed. I had less than 2 seconds to react and thankfully my skills kicked in without hesitation. I left a black line along the side of his car from the rubber bumper on the bag. He took off the reflector on my bike. It was that close. He came back and we pretty much called it even and went on our way. Hopped back on the bike and finished the days ride. The one caviat is my wife. I got no grief from her what so ever. Did I tell you she was on the back two up the whole time. She puts a lot of faith in my riding ability (Maybe to much) and figures we will both go out at the same time if something drastic does ever happen. Many times I have tossed that bike through the corners and never a peep from the back seat. I couldn't ask for a better riding partner. I hope yours comes around to see it your way. Good luck, Dave [/QUOTE]
