- I did in my T-boning of a german shepherd with my faithful '74 CL360
- (The Lean, Mean, Green Machine (ret.)), while doing ~50mph (80kph).
- Of course, I don't think it was done intentionally. My thumb probably
- did it of it's own accord while en route to dislocating itself on the
- mirror stem. But then, maybe my thumb is just quicker on the uptake

- ObOriginalThread: I'd rather slide than roll. Sliding will give
- you a nice case of roadrash. Rolling will break bones. I'll take
