Normally I would have been able to avoid it but the combination of road conditions and the suddeness of the door being thrown open made it impossible. The result: I went flying through the air and landed squarely on my head. Fortunately I was wearing a Bell Tourlite, and came through with nothing but a sore neck. Were it not for the helmet, I have no doubt that I would have ended up in the hospital, or perhaps even have been killed. **** TESTIMONIAL OFF **** The only complaint I have is the visor shattered into two very sharp fragments, so I suggest removing it if you don't have other eye protection. matt Matt Leo {ucbvax!cbosgd!ima!cfib, decvax!cca}!absolut!matt Absolut Software 617-232-8377 2001 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02146-4227
