I've had two close calls since I've been back... kicked the bike completely sideways once when the rear tire locked up in a panic brake (fuck'n dual sport tires lock up EASY)

hope this shit changes... I'll be on two wheels for a long time to come...

By far the closest I have ever come to another vehicle that would have really put the hurt on me was the Vstrom leaving TWO. Tigger was behind me and he said I missed it by a foot, I really have no clue, I just remember seeing wheel/headlight and steering away from it hoping I could still dive back and make the turn.
