[QUOTE="MarksCR250, post: 119696, member: 23850"] Today I was out riding with a pal in a pretty remote place; we call it the 'riding the powerline' ..apparently the county made these trails to access the powerlines. Its one steep hill after another after another, etc. Anyway, I was leading and as I come to the crest of a hill I see a gray blur out of the left corner of my eye and as I turn I see its a late model Toyota 4runner about 20-30ft away bopping along a road that intersects our trail and he's on a collision course with me! I instantly grabbed the front and rear brake together, pulled in the clutch, and body-englished a mild left hand brake turn (in case I had to lay the bike down at the last instant) Well with about 15-20ft to go the driver saw me, locked up his brakes, and stared at me with eyes bulging out and sheer terror and panic on his face.. at about 10ft away I knew I had it under control, and I came to a nice angled brake turn stop about 4ft from the side of his truck. Whew! The 4runner guys chest was heaving and he put his hand over his heart to show me how scared he was at what might have happened. The moral of the story? I dont know.. but do yourself a favor and make sure you practice full panic stops from time to time. The front and rear brake, used together hard- just shy of locking them up, is something everyone should have in their bag of tricks. It sure saved my bacon. [/QUOTE]
