Glad to hear you made out basically ok. You tried hard to ride it out but in the end too many factors went against you. NEVER, NEVER trust what a person in a car will do. Plan accordingly.
People get a lot of advice about rding. One of the best lines I've heard is ride like you're never seen. This is great advice, until it happens that a raging cager is gunning for you.
Around here the problem doesn't seem too bad. Not sure why, maybe we as motorcyclist just don't achieve the level of dickery riders in a lot of states do. Maybe it's overall Indiana's a little more conservative and respectful of people's individual rights, from both sides of the cage. I don't know, there's been a couple raging cager issues I had last season. One was probably youtube worthy (I do have the vid) but I never bothered to post it.
