Mr Colwell,
I dont dislike the blur, I like it at times. But as mentioned, it appears that bird slammed into the flower at 60mph
If not feeding, I like the blur, if feeding, I like the wings "frozen". Which took some learning to do 2 years ago.
And holy $h1t RH! How far up were you? If you were that high, where was your safety line?
RH,
I think we're all wondering what you were doing when you landed on your chest and the backpack saved your life. (I'm assuming no alcoholic enhancements were involved The only time I went down hard was trying to traverse a scree slope and slid on my side for ~100 feet. Managed to keep all my gear up but the left side of my body had the worst case of "honda rash" I've ever had. Then I had to crawl back up. I think I'm a bit more thoughtful about my approaches now. Glad you came out in one piece and hope everything can be fixed.
oh, i had a local dealership repair the forks on my Aprilia Atlantic 500. according to another repair shop the forks are bottoming out. so here we go. i was cut off on the exit lane. i leaned right to pass the person tapped the brakes and wack. the bike dipped left violently ripped the bars out of my hands. the bike went one way and i was air born at 65 mph. not a good feeling having paid to have one fix the bike only to discover at high speed he did not fix the the problem. also not a good feeling to go down like that and it was not your fault. no alcohol involved.
Geez...Ive had a couple 2 wheeled incidents, but nothing anywhere near that speed. Never ceases to amaze me the lack of reapect given to drivers on 2 wheels.
