Sorta OT, as I was in my Saab, not on my bike.
Driving to Tooele UT for Reserves tonight, and the loop interstate merged into the main interstate, but it was under construction and the two left lanes were closed off. Both streams of traffic were going full speed and then suddenly came to a full stop. I just stopped before hitting the car in front of me, with about 10' to spare, and immediately checked my rear-view mirror...
There wasn't any way that humongous pickup was going to stop in time, I checked my passenger-side mirror, and immediately changed lanes to the right. So glad it was clear.
The large truck hit the car I had stopped behind, although he had most of his speed bled off by then.
Holy crap, I still can't calm down...
