Count yourself lucky, Val.
Ride on the streets long enough and you'll encounter your share of close calls with unattentive drivers.
At least it's good to hear that this was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. (i.e. you and the bike were fairly unscathed).
And you were paying close attention to that idiot driver as she was making her move.
So score one for photogirl !
Speaking of st. arnold, a group of us should make a tour of the brewery soon.
All of you can wear your ducati apparel to represent (Joe, I'm talking to you).
I'll wear my Honda Racing t-shirt just to be a bastard.
