Turning out of a side street this mornin onto main artery and it is kinda wierd there in the sense that the main road has 3 lanes 2 have lights that stay green all the time and the inner one changes to red to let traffic out of the side street. i know its hard to believe but i am telling you i did not see this guy comeing and when i pulled out and into the main drag i needed to get over real quick to then make a right turn onto another side street. if it hadnt been for his pipes i would have been feelin real bad right now for killing another biker. i dont know how i didnt see him but he must not have seen me either cuz he never moved over and there was no one in the next lane so he could have, he didnt even speed up to get past me quick he just rode by like nothing was going to or had almost happened. so they cant nobody tell me loud pipes dont make a difference. they werent loud like Sceptre or something but they were after market of some king, this bike was a dualsport of some kind and was louder than stock. man i made that right turn and pulled over till my knees stopped shaken. i dont know if i could live with myself if i hurt a biker with a cage, i was on the job in a van, there are some trees there and a sign to tell drivers to watch out for people comeing out of that side street and a warning about how the lights work there. so i guess he was behind one of those but i always look twice or 3 times. i think the only excuse i can come up with to justify is the new blood pressure meds, they make me feel weird. but really i feel as if there is no excuse for not seeing anything comeing, thats why god gave me eyes. i felt very bad and still am haveing a hard time, i cant stop thinking about it. like i said, if it hadnt been his pipes i would have hurt him.
