So last night, after 3 years of riding, I finally had to perform a very, very quick stop on the freeway. I always give myself plenty of room from other cars and always have a quick escape route in an emergency, but last night was my first exception. The scenario is really hard to explain but long story short I was coming out of a clover leaf exit and the right lane was was immediately closed, traffic was still going very quick. So I had to merge 2 lanes with some speed, and as I turned my head back from looking left a Jeep Cherokee in front of me was hitting his brakes hard (I could see his rear suspension lifting up) and faster than I thought I could think I was grabbing clutch and pulling in the brake as fast and smooth as I could while putting pressure on the rear brake. Managed not to lock up either wheel and kept the rear tire on the pavement and came to a stop 2 feet from the Jeeps bumper. Talk about an adrenaline rush
Anyways I was wondering to myself how close others have gotten to bumpers or maybe even tapped a bumper with out crashing. So if you have a story please post cause I'd love to read them.:rockon:
Oh and hers a pic of the clover leaf I was on, was going westbound on 494 and merging onto 35w south
