Ive had a similar crash..... Situation:

	at about dusk..... yours truly and a friend on the back were
following a car (with its lights on...); car pulls off to the side, lights
go off...... whips a u-turn (middle of block, across double yellow, but
what's it matter); bike t-bones car.... both passengers take flying lessons....
:-) howd that landing chapter go again??? I, thank Crom, still managed to
remember how to roll.... (score card 9.9, didnt keep my ankles together)
my buddy still has a bum knee.

Bottom line is that to ride a bike..... 'specially in LA, you have to
be willing to put 100% of your concentration on riding and avoiding....
Remeber.... no one can see you..... and the ones who do, have been paid to
take you out..... Since that crash, this attitude has kept me out of bunches
of situations that I wouldnt have avoided before..... how many times
have *you* said to yourself, nah he wouldnt do something that stupid....
oh my God... he did!!!
