I don't see the issue. No one was hurt, the only person that even knew it happened was you. Hell they should have seen that big Victory coming and cleared the fricken intersection baby, you got riden' to do.............. |

Tifton, GA | You was watching the traffic that was coming through the intersection toward you think I have a green light. It looked like the light had been green for you since I saw the yellow light. |

Goldsboro, NC | The light was clearly yellow when you entered the intersection. It would have been much uglier if the left turn car had stopped. Kudos for seeing the best evasive maneuver and pulling it off so smoothly. Definitely a case of no harm, no foul.... but I'm sure you are contemplating how much luck played into your still being with us.
As they say in the MSF course.... its all about risk management. |

| @Trailbarge -Man you don't understand how lucky i feel man even more lucky as my wife was riding with me....
It turns yellow right when the truck on my right starts to apply his brake...I really didn't think i could stop at my current speed with the wife and all the cargo we had...at the same time i noticed the SUV on the incoming traffic....and didn't think he would 'left turn'....
Thanks for the kuddos and YES i am very grateful to be with you fellaz 
I am still beating myself for acting that way on the road...100% my fault....risk management!!! |

New Bohemia, Va | Okay, by what you are "saying" you are not paying attention, I just hope you'll be with us a little while longer friend.
By what I "see" it looks like you take chances and this is not the first time it has happened, and I'm sure it won't be the last. So, are you bragging, or complaining, I've not got the real point yet. |

| It would be VERY stupid to brag here, right Nemo? I wouldn't brag on some mistake i've made....but i know some do!
Just trying to share what i went through, my mistakes, what i've learn and hopefully a lil message to all of us "PAY MORE ATTENTION". |

New Bohemia, Va | ...a reminder all of us need everyday, especially when we have a special one on the back, can't move as quick, and it startles them, leaving you the opportunity to be out of control. I see sport bike riders doing this stuff all the time, looks very similar. |
