Hey all,
Out for a leisurely ride yesterday on the Cali14 on one of my favorite no-traffic, twisty roads outside of town. Perfect weather, really enjoying the ride (in the zone?) and a fuel oil truck that looks stopped with his left turn signal on initiates his turn as I approach - I hit the brakes (front AND rear) pretty hard, expecting lock-up, but instead just slowed very quickly with no lock-up and only a hint of anti-lock shudder.
Similar situation on my Centauro a few years ago resulted in a low side and five broken ribs.
Lastly, want to emphasize that I should have more alert - being comfortable on a favorite low-traffic road does not diminish the need for vigilance.
