As suggested by "boggs74", here's a thread about close calls we've all had while ridin'. (First entries copied & pasted from another thread) Please share your own experiences...

My Bro slowed to a stop safely behind her......I had to do an emergency stop & ended up along side of her vehicle. Left a patch of rubber on the road & thought for sure I was going to smack into her precious SUV...hehehe. She must have seen the emergency vehicle's lights coming without any siren as I didn't even hear any siren until I was in the midst of negotiating a panic stop! LMAO!"

Close call gj, i know we all have had them.People in cars, especially suv's dont pay enough attention arround them for sure!!. The last time i had a close call was cruising down the black top and rounded a sharp corner and low and behold a flock of buzzards eating some road kill. With a drop off to the right(about 20ft.) and on comming traffic on the left all i could do is duck and hope the wife did the same!! lollucky her that big bird picked up flight a split second before we got to it. There's a new subject to post, close calls, would make for interesting conversation dont ya think.
