Heading to drivers meeting Sunday on my Super Cub approaching the chalet at about 15 mph, 3 wide with a golf cart, bicycle and me. Cart swerves, bike swerves to avoid cart and I lay my Honda down to avoid the cyclist. My legs saved the vintage Honda ('72 with 780 orig miles) from real damage but they took a real skinning.

[QUOTE=Veloce Raptor;14268906]Geez, David!!![

Dave- were you at RA few years ago when a guy driving a golf cart hit a race car coming up the ramp and they gave him (the golf cart driver) a 13/13? His passenger (er, in the golf cart) went flying.

If it had been 3 wide on the back straight and the same thing happened I might not be so sanguine, but I survived, raced, then went home and watched taped LeMans. It's all good.

Glad you weren't more seriously injured. Sounds like the golf cart driver may have been this guy:
