Maiden R3 Voyage- Check Your Six

I love a happy ending.
Good story.
That wheelin flasher thingie looks good too,
thanks for posting that.

Last night I ordered the LIN3 strobe and the programmable controller. I'll fab a bracket to fit it under the license plate.

That setup will be on my R3 very soon.
 
Glad your OK Dajudge, that indeed was a close call.
I will look into those lights, thanks for posting this.:cool:
 
That was by far the closest call I've ever had. Prior to this, the scary ones have involved vehicles pulling left in front of me or out of driveways into my path.

Any closer and it gets ugly.

I've been part of a three-way pass twice. Last time was a Camry passing a Semi going south on a two lane as I was going north. I failed to salute the Camry driver appropriately while skirting down the shoulder since I was busy trying to avoid a colon dump into my drawers. The truck driver was being helpful by maintaining a straight line and a constant speed while the bozo in the Camry, the truck and me all made it by. :eek:
 
Heck of a maiden voyage! Glad to hear your okay. I had a buddy lose his Triumph Trophy about the same way. He was stopped at a stop light, and just happened to look in his rear view mirror to see a truck barreling down on him at 50 MPH.. not stopping. He got off the bike and jumped out of the way just as the truck hit is Trophy, sending the bike sailing for 30 yards then end over end... I have the only good part left from his bike on my Trophy.. the right front turn signal.. lol
