I was on a ride through Death Valley on my Thunderbird when a another motorcyclist was coming towards me in a turn... crossed the center line and we looking at each other head-on. I went right and he corrected... saved it... and then just kept going. Going right I was committed to leaving the asphalt and actually went airborne.... but kept her upright (with a slight soiling I might add). With a little help, we got her pushed back onto the road and I was off. I hadn't noticed the left rear turn signal lens had fallen off. Two weeks later, a buddy of mine on the same road stopped and found it for me. It popped right back on. That was pretty cool...
