- I'm with bill on this one. I went over the bars twice this summer.
- The first time I had enough time to realize that there was a really
- heavy chunk of metal going in roughly the same direction as me right
- behind me, and the second time i had enough time to think `crap! not
- again'. otherwise, the only way i could figure out what the heck
- happened was by the bruises i found all over myself the next day.
- I have absolutely no idea what happened from when i left the seat of
- my motorcycle till i had stopped. and i'm supposed to have good
- reaction timing after four years of traditional martial arts.

- you can dream about all the acrobatics you'll do if you go down, but
- chances are it isn't going to do you much good...
