Hug those blind corner shoulders
Had the front left fender of my RT clipped by a downhill rider on a rural road with lots of twists and turns. I was going uphill on a 2 lane road, approaching a blind curve and hugged the shoulder. 1st downhill rider came around the turn in his lane, but his buddy behind him was over the center of the lane and ended up clipping my fender - the Harley went down and slid for about 15 feet (low speed for all involved) and his momentum propelled him into oncoming traffic behind me. Fortunately my riding friend was 4-5 car lengths behind and stopped in time. Thank goodness no injuries. I was able to drive the rest of the way home, and the Harley said his was driveable too.
It happened in the blink of an eye. Just a reminder to be extra careful in those blind curves.
