Wanted to tell all of you a little story about driving on the Los Angeles freeways.
While driving home this afternoon on the 405 Northbound, It felt like I drove over a little dip and looked in my mirror to see a 18 Wheeler very close to me. So I said to myself, "Self, maybe that was a little wind buffeting".
I drove another 5 miles and decide to make a quick stop before getting home. I get off the bike and take a look at my rear left hard bag which has a little tire rash on it.
The trucks must not have seen me till the last moment and after the quick touch swerved in behind me.
The damage is minor, it snapped the pot metal on the left rear passenger peg support ($74.00 online) and also bent one of the hard bag support.
I've got it all apart, and all I can do is be thankful I have all my parts.
Thanks for taking the time reading this, and alway remember that even if we we do everything right it can be over in a flash...
