Avoiding Accidents On The R6

 This morning I thought to myself, "I wonder if I can make the 11-mile trek to work today without seeing some form of driver idiocy?"

 Boy was I wrong, I avoided several cars trying to share my lane without knowing I was there and the mother of them all: A lady on her phone in a new S63 Benz busted a u-turn right in front of me. Luckily I saw it coming and avoided it but as she crossed the double-solid yellow lines another lady in a Range Rover (on her phone as well) slammed into the paper-plate wearing Benz. GLORIOUS, simply GLORIOUS, two great cars wrecked and I almost got taken down with them!

Not only was the lady unaware that she almost nailed me but she claimed she had her blinker on and wasn't on the cell. Needless to say I waited for the Police and explained what I had observed.

Another great start to a day in the office!

On a side note, the R6 is a great bike and I'm really enjoying the new found power of my mods. This thing power wheelies like crazy in 1st now!

Rubber side down everyone
