Anyhoo, I had a great ride tonight. Although a left turner almost took me out. My instincts kicked in as I passed some cars who were waiting to turn left at a light. I was already slowing down with my finger on the brake when a car popped right out in front of me, turning left. I was concealed from his vision by the row of cars going in my direction waiting to turn left. I was already on the brakes and slowing down as I made my way past the line of cars. Major accident avoided, it was close, the rear locked up instantly on some oil or other slick surface, but the front stuck. My thanks to those guys who posted positive reviews about Proficient Motorcycling. :thumb: I'd like to think I've got some good skills, but the books were a great read and really helped me hone up a few street survival skills.
