Rode the "Flood Run" in Western Wisconsin today. Beautiful day and more motorcycles then you could shake a stick at (mostly chrome monsters but that's pretty typical). Me and couple of buddies on their Harleys were heading home and we were about to part ways; they were turning left and I was heading straight. I had noticed a car in my mirrors earlier that had been behind us for quite awhile but he was back a ways so no worries right? Well as my my buddies signaled left and positioned towards the center of the lane to turn, I moved to the right side of the lane to pass them. Next thing I know I hear brakes squealing right on my a$$. I look in my right mirror and the car I saw earlier was half way on the shoulder, dust flying and brakes locked up. Apparently he had snuck up on me and assumed I was turning left with my buddies (my left signal was NOT on) and he was going to try and sneak by us on the right (with two wheels on the shoulder). Lots of blame to go around but I will admit that I did not check over my right shoulder prior to shifting lane position to pass my buddies turning left. :spank: Just about cr@pped my drawers and pulled over soon thereafter to let the adrenaline wear off. My little angel was with me for sure.
