Im riding to work on my 1972 Bonneville, doing about 60 to 65, and traffic close on my rear.....engine stalls and quits, and I make the mistake of deciding to make a rather fast left turn into a shady area. Traffic behind me went around me as left turn was made, plowing into the left rear shock and sending me sliding across the pavement...LESSON: NEVER make split second decisions at high speeds with close traffic!!!! I should have relaxxed, and let the bike continue to roll off to the right side of the road....Situational Awareness was'nt all there for me that day, so just remember, GO WITH THE FLOW till ALL CLEAR!
