for me was the time a jeep cut me off (you know because they are short they think they can fit into traffic anywhere) then slammed on the brakes. I started to do an accidental endo and thought i was gonna go flying into his back seat. I managed to pull the rear back down and stop in time. but i had only been riding maybe 3 months when that happened.

or maybe the time when i was coming in hot to a left turn lane because the turn light was still green. went to brake hard up to the turn but the pavement was all washboarded from the years of stopped traffic. the tires were skipping over the pavement hopping from side to side (obviously i let up on the front to be able to steer) I ended up going way wide on the turn but i made it. slight pucker factor on that one.

hahahh sorry, couldnt resist. Plus that picture of the samurai is way cool. But its true I do love tacos.

Eric my timing for my other post was perfect: http://www.xp3hornet.com/
Never worry again!

On a more serious note I dont have any close calls thankfully. I did knock myself out/stupid on a CR250, but who hasn't.

Oh gross!!! God no Taco Bell is ground rodents served with milke that was left in the sun far too longand has turned to some sort of cheese. Remember that little dog that they had? Guess where he is.
