Fellow CB1100 rider accident - be careful out there!

Life-changing events can happen in seconds or fractions of a second...thankfully this wasn't one of those moments for your friend.

As a rider, it's hard to maintain that constant "Spidey-sense" of imminent danger. A line of parked cars with entrances in between is one of those situations that sets me tingling. The mental "game" I play with cagers is "You don't see me...but I see you!" I look for them...because they are definitely not looking for me.

I like the Spidey-sense analogy. Also, as a martial artist, I like to pretend I am a samurai on his horse in the state of "mushin" - heightened awareness and concentration. I try not to lose that, no matter how long I've been riding. Complacency can prove disastrous to a biker.

hope your friend still goes to the hospital to have things checked out but glad to hear you guys are still ok.

He did go get himself checked out - no broken bones or concussion or anything like that. Thanks.
