Skid Marks
Only on the street, thankfully. Had a stupid SUV pull out in front of me from the right turning left into the opposite direction from which I was traveling. I ended up briefly locking both wheels, not at the same time thankfully, but kept it upright and dove into the side street to avoid the crunch. I took a minute to catch my breath, the SUV hit the brakes while deciding to drive away and not stop to check on me.
 Probably better that way for all.  Underwear stayed clean.

SUV - trumps - motorcycle, in the order of what's really important to HUA folks.
Glad you stayed out of harms way, I locked the front once when a Tahoe tried to come over on me.

As I've stated before:
When riding, be aware of those around you - determine the worst thing they could do in relation to you - prepare for that possibility - CUZ THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO IT! Sent from my new space age communicator.

and anti lock brakes saved me from the asshat who blew right through a stop sign last year. Glad you were able to avoid the asshat.

It's a fairly common spot for people to do that and I just knew she was going to be stupid, what I underestimated was how slow she was going to pull out. There was traffic coming in both directions, she needed to get on it and didn't. She almost got rear ended from traffic coming the other way.

Oh, one of the I can't wait for three more seconds for you to pass before I can pull out in traffic in the spot behind you that is clear for a block behind you. And then they go 20 MPH slower than you were going before they pulled out in front of you.
