    Holy chit that was a lot of air time!

    When I first got my cycle endorsement, I was riding my Honda Sabre 700 on a 35mph road when a contractor truck lost a load of 2x4s. I grew up on enduros and my natural reaction was to lean back and gas 'er to get the front end light and rode it out.

    On another trip, I was riding with a buddy coming back from a camping trip. We were riding on a forest road better suited to dirt bikes, doing about 35. He had lashed his sleeping bag to his rear rack with webbing and it came loose. It got tangled in his chain and he came to z screeching halt. Fortunately he kept it up right.
