Ride Home this morning.

[sonny]

Left out of Tulsa around 5:00 am. Dog tired and headed south hit some heavy ran. Figured was good to go but kept the speed down to 55 mph. After working a 14 hour shift was not in the mood for much. Had a pickup down in the Henryetta area pull up beside me and then the fool lit it up. He hydro planed and It took everything i know to keep from getting nailed. Saw the back wheels of the pickup and realized the front wheels of the truck was going one way while the back was going another. Instead of hitting the brakes i hit the gas. Talk about Lucky. Flew past what would have been a disaster. Poor guy was bouncing off the curb after i passed. If i had panicked and hit the brakes i would have been between him and the curve, Still thinking about it and figure We got lucky again.

Ufff... Experience, high level of awareness, high caliber bike with good rubber and pick up. Sonny, that bike saved your life. I would not trade it.
