I was taking the sharper curves at 25 to 30 mph, and enjoying the challenge. I approached a rather sharp curve to the right, and laid the bike smoothly into a healthy lean to the right, when all I seen was FORD,and the center of the truck in my lane.



Had a similar thing last evening. Entered a fairly open left hand sweeper, watched a white sedan coming from the opposite direction at what seemed a "higher than normal" rate of speed, which got me thinking. As he got deeper into the long corner he began drifting across the centreline. He was probably halfway into my lane when we passed. I saw the look of oh oh! on his early 20 something face through the driver's side window. I had enough warning of evasion to get over into the right wheel track and slow down a bit. The obligatory adrenaline rush hit me 1/2 mile later .

Ride aware, but don't forget to enjoy yourselves
