Thanks Guys...
I do the bike thing like everything I do .. I try hard to get my skills to a level to avoid stuff like this but .. When they bolt accross a travel lane and give no warning you can do nothing but break and hang on .. I went into the side and up and over the car. I hear it was a perfect 360 flip .. and my dismount scored a 7.5 with the judges :D
THank god I always wear my safty gear .. glad to still be beathing and chatting with you all..:rolleyes:

Sorry to hear of your accident Wayne. We did miss you and the Scarab on the run. Hope you make a full recovery and that we see you again before long. Take care and keep us posted on your recovery.

I unfortunately don't think it matters how high your skill levels are as long as there is a public (car traffic) that doesn't pay any attention to what they are doing. I had a similar event happen to me (thankfully without the crash) that pretty much ended my riding. I had a ZX-11 and a 1200 Bandit. Once I realized that it did not matter how safe I rode and the impact such an accident might have on my family I got rid of both bikes and went to boating instead. There are plenty of idiots out on the water as well but maybe a little more room to avoid them. Good luck with your recovery and hope to see you again at another fun run

PS 2 thumbs up for the use of the proper safety equipment:drink:
