My brother went on a ride with the New London M/C today. Just as the formation was aproaching their destination, one of the less experienced riders ran into the back of his 1300c. My bro was braking and turning when he got hit. Tore up his new Cobra slip-ons and, gave him one hell of a challenge keeping control. Now here is the cool part. Me and my bro were speculating that if he had a m/c on the back the force of the impact would (likely) have sent the back of the bike to the side instead of pushing the bike foward as it did, making loss of control a lot more likley. Btw, bro has a 205/65-15 Toyo keepin him strait. The other rider is ok except for a few abrasions. Since I'm the goodwill chair for the club, I have to check on the not paying attention, waving at everyone boob and make sure he is ok. Anyway, stay alert!

Glad to hear that everyone was ok. Shiny stuff can be fixed or replaced. People cant.
Keep riding.

Glad they are both ok. could have been alot worse. Yes, the C/T has kept me straight alot of times. Maybe the other guy learned a valuable lesson about paying attention to riders around him when in a group.

Nope, no spontaneous combustion, I got over that fear after about 1000 miles on the Darkside!
