So yesterday around 4ish, I was attempting to get the bike home from my fiance's house when a little rain broke out...No big deal, so I continued home, and the rain stopped. Still being cautious as the roads were wet, I figured, I got this no problem....All of a sudden a car in the right lane cuts me off, and then slams his brakes to make a left turn...Now with the road being wet..I tried to stop, the backend of the bike started to come around on me, so I pulled it the other way so the bike went down opposite side of my HK3's lol....I slide for a good ways and braced for impact with the back of this tan Chevy Malibu, and it never came....I stopped a few feet from it.....A ton of people stopped to make sure I was ok, the guy right behind me jumped out of his car and ran to the Malibu, but they took off...Overall I was surprised by the amount of people that actually stopped...

I walked away from it....the damage to the bike is my left Boss Bag has a battle scar, no paint, no body, no frame damage.....I know I am very lucky, and I have to say, I am glad that I was able to take the bike down in a somewhat of a controlled manner, even if it wasn't planned..it was definately a better option than going sideways into the back of the car....

Scary! Glad it turned out to be a non-event. I had my life flash before me last week as I was coming home from the Fla Keys. Would not have been a fun way to end the trip.

Glad you are okay. It is so hard to believe that the person would take off and not make sure you were okay, of course, I guess it isn't so hard to believe. Sad but true. Stiff and sore?
