I hear what you say Diamond. It's a risk we take. The risk is small. This time, it hit, in a small and somewhat controlled way.
We never know when a drunk driver could take us out on the freeway. It's a small risk, but it's real.
Risks go with most things in life. I consider myself a "safe rider" because I pale in comparison to the guys that do 120 on the double yellow between cars on a 2 lane highway.
Wheel safe, drive safe, ride safe. Do your part and hope for the best. Hope your friend on that R6(nice bike btw) is ok.
