    This is about as close as you can get into accident and not have a accident. Geezus...

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.

      Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

            Can't get much closer. I played the clop over and over, and I think I see some burning rubber from the bike, perhaps temporary lock up of the tire or tires. Hope this never happens to me because don't know about my luck.

                Jeeeeeeeeeeesus... yeah that's close. You certainly can see smoke from the bike braking hard. That's nuts.

                Happened to me once and the car just stopped in the middle of the road ahead. Jammed the brakes on and ended up with my front wheel about 6" from her drivers side door. Needless to say, I went mental at the stupid b!tch.

                  I had a similar incident on my return trip from Colebrook this past Sunday. I was coming down RT5 in Dummerston, VT, and had a car turn in front of me ,see me coming and stopped directly in front of me across the road. I had a full lock up for a second then release of the brakes and a hard turn to the left around the stopped car. Luckily I know enough about target fixation and looked to where I wanted to go, not the car.
