the scene: leaving work, riding east on Ventura toward the 101, 2 lanes each way.the incident: van pulls away from the curb into the right lane (proper move). car ahead of me in left lane is afraid of van pulling all the way over, and very abruptly comes to almost a complete stop (very improper move).y'all, i thought it was the end. time slowed down. the skies darkened. my rear wheel locked. i fishtailed harder than bad sushi, felt the back end swing pretty damn wide in both directions. i was halfway through my 72 virgins before i realized i was still alive. i'd come just inches away from the bumper, unscathed. my buttcheeks unclenched, i made it back to 1st gear and got right the hell outta there, setting aside my good Christian values as i passed the offending vehicle with an ultimate "what the fuck is wrong with you" full-body gesture...keep your wits about ye, fine people. could save your life. hug your ABS brakes, if you've got 'em! via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/b6cfbv/almost_haddalayerdowwwnn_today_folks/?utm_source=ifttt
