Not a religious guy but someone is looking out for me up there!!!

[pnut]

I was riding in Malibu this morning.  I was coming up Mulholland just north of the Rock Store.  If you've never ridden that area, it's a very challenging ride with some very tight hairpins, one after another.  I was going at a very spirited pace when it felt something touching my right forearm.  I looked down, and saw that my Monstrack mirror had come loose and had swung down and was resting on my forearm.  I've had the mirrors loctited on for over 4 years and they have never budged before. l slow down substantially and twist the mirror back into place.  Just then I hit another hairpin turn and right accross the apex of the turn is a slick of mud and loose gravel.  I hit it and the back tire steps out slightly, but I'm able to catch it and ride through it.  Had the mirror not come loose, I would have hit that corner at a much higher speed and probably wiped out.  Like I said earlier, I'm not much of religious person, but I honestly felt that someone upstairs was looking out for me.

Nice to feel loved!

I took off my annoying vibrating Monstrack mirrors, and replaced them with a CRG Blindsight.  Never looked back...uh...I mean...that didn't come out right.

Maybe that was a warming from the big guy up stairs, as in "the next one, you are on your own".

That's because it wouldn't help if you did!

(Nice pun btw )

[Raux]

luck, God, fate... it's all a higher power just how you interpret it. glad you are safe.

It's moments like that when you're made certain that someone is watching your back. 

Just a suggestion - ride a pace lap first to scope out the road before going bonzai!!

Sometimes the moto-gods like us.
