Thanks for posting!!! Awesome

We rode a 1970 BSA Thunderbolt years ago before we had kids. Our kids came along and we didn't ride again until 2001 when I bought a 1993 Harley FLHS with 12,000 miles on it. It now has right at 50,000 on it. Most miles are 2 up day trip miles. Anyway, I answered a questionaire from ABATE once that asked how often I have a "close" call. My answer was every time I ride I have have a close call. Luckily, I not been in an accident yet. Close but no cigar. But the opportunities for an accident are there every day. Just riding defensively isn't enough. People driving cars just don't see bikes for what ever reason. All my close calls have involved other motor vehicles, not self induced. I'm 61 years old and I don't ride like I'm 20 anymore. I try not to over ride the road & bike especially with my wife on the bike with me most of these miles. I don't know how many responses you'll get that have been involved in accidents, so I thought I'd respond as one that hasn't. I wish I had my Beezer back!! Enjoy
