All,
Sun came out here in Sugar Land and so I took the MV out for a short run. Friday about 2:30 PM. I often avoid this day and time frame due to intense traffic, seems everyone is out and in a rush. Went anyway.
I was at a full stop, packed traffic, double left turn lane. My blinker was on, and big red brake lights on. You betcha.. a cager in a toyota decided she wanted to squeeze into my lane, and clipped my tire. She bumped and grazed me, I found no damage to my bike-- amazing. Fortunately I did not go down. Sun to west was a glare issue, but it is hard to believe she did not see me. Location was FTM 1464 and highway 99 frontage road in Sugar Land.
It is an ugly intersection. I think I am pretty much done with Friday afternoon rides. Given that, I am going for a ride Saturday morning.
Traffic in Ft. Bend County just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.. and I keep wondering... is it just time to sell both bikes and quit. For now, I will be very picky on time of day to ride. Yep, Friday afternoons just don't work for me anymore.
