For all the riders who like to pull up RIGHT behind the car in front of them at the stoplight, put their bike into nuetral and not pay attention to the traffic coming up behind them....

Anyone who does that to a beautiful V4 bike should be beaten mercilessly. :)

Yep, always leave yourself a way out and keep an eye on everyone. I nearly had someone do that to me once years ago. I saw them coming and had a way to scoot around the car in front of me.

Pretty impressed with that rear wheel's ability to support the engine & front end of a car tho...

It's a Honda, dude. They probably just used the Magna to tow the car to the shop. http://www.boulder.swri.edu/%7Eterrell/images/goofy.gif

Leave an out and watch your six. I had some idiot run the red after I stopped for it on Foothills and Valmont. Luckily I moved over to the left of my lane as he split his crap POS Accord between me and the pickup in the next lane.

No matter how close I pull up to the car in front of me, I'm usually always to the side of it. I like to be in side-mirror view of people around me.

Damn! I should have kept my Magna. I never knew how good it would look as a lowrider. :hump:

No serious injuries???? One lucky mutha.
