  • close call

    Hey all, here's a short clip of a close call I had about a month ago. I am glad I handled it as well as I did, I could see some one easily panicking and locking up the brakes/sliding under them, or yanking it too far away and running off the road. I dunno who in their right mind would go completely to the opposite side of the road to get around a bicyclist in the middle of a blind corner. Imagine if I was a car, it would have been a definite collision. Either way I'm glad everything was fine, and had a nice ride still afterwards Can't get caught slippin' folks.

      A horrible driver. Really nice job by you and your partner on that one. Super close, but ya'll handled it like champs.

          Damn. I clinched my butt cheeks together for you. Something like that happened to me one night. I actually hit a deer as he jumped across the road. I guess I hit his back leg because I felt the contact but it wasnt enuff to make me fall. Scary as hell though. Anyway F my story, glad ur ok.

                    I just want to know where you found a road with curves in Tampa, better yet, in Florida?

                    Glad to see you kept your head and made it out of that.

                        Close call. Glad it was just a near miss. Good lesson about drifting close to the center line after taking a corner too hot. Makes my heart skip a beat. There were days in my past when; ON SECOND THOUGHT- Skip that SCARY thought?
