Well I finally had my first chance to go for a pleasure ride. Between travel and Wisconsin snow the timing was always against me.
So what about my title! I had a great ride out on some local country roads, warm and just time to reflex. I was half mile from home and coming to a country intersection. I watched one mini-van turn out and it headed my way. Then I watched an old blue cage nearing the stop sign and something just looked wrong I hit the horn and high low beams and everyone can guess what happened. The diver started to pull into my lane. Everything I did goes all the back to 1974 when I went through the Navy mandated training. It is funny how fast ones brain can function. I had to size up; around the front or back of the car and what ditch may hurt the least. I just had new rubber put on this spring and that I am thankful for. Well I made reactive maneuver and cleared the car around its back. Road half mile to my house and finally started to breath again. After a little I called my son to go over this fun episode and we both agreed how much a good training class has been for both of us.
I am not meaning to vent but I am so glad many years ago the Navy made me take a course.
Safe riding everyone!!
