    Whats up guys, havn't been on here for awhile but oh well. I'm back. I acquired another ride. I stayed true to my Honda red blood cells and bought another Honda that does something different. 94 xr600r ;) Its plated, street legal, and I discovered some awesome trails by my house that I never knew existed. Also, thinking of making a supermoto set up with it seeing that it handles the tight stuff alot better than the vfr and I don't have to worry about parts when it crashes. With that said, heres a close call video. I've posted some close calls before but this one got me. Wide fish eye lens kind of make's things out of perspective but imagine if you were there in person.

    Pretty close there Brace! When we were riding up in Atascadero for R3, the wife and I were almost hit in our lane and we were pretty close to the center/right of the lane! Unfortunately no camera at that time. It was a big truck pulling a boat and he was moving pretty fast. Stay away from the dividing line is all I can say. Did you keep your VFR?

    Glad it worked out ok for you. There was just the most tragic accident here in Durban over the weekend, 2 bikers and a family of 5 killed. Ride safe out there guys.

    Close, but glad you're good. You know what they say about close, anyways. lol

    Huh? You're saying a 94 XR handles better than you VFR?
