BTW, you might not know about these two sites:

www.urbandictionary.com
www.acronymfinder.com

The first can be used for looking up all manner of slang words such as "SO" and "dayum." Includes multiple definitions along with examples. For instance, here is the first entry on "dayum":



an explative, not unlike whoa. It is a more emphasized version of the word "damn" when it is used in the same way.

"Dayum! Your sister's HOT!"

The second can be used for looking up virtually any acronym.

Wow Paul. Sure glad you are relatively unscathed (except maybe for your vocal chords). That looked pretty close...too close.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

Cheers KC, it was. The worst was the sound. When the Camry came past me, I thought that guy is dead. BANG. It is a really really scary sound and when the truck jack knifed it turned on itself and was driving towards us. The Camry must not have had ABS because the skid marks show that he was locked up.

It looks like those cable barriers also did their job, although I think I would hate to hit them on a bike...

Glad to hear both of you are all right...

I prefer the cable barriers. I've seen riders slide right under them (cross your fingers that you don't have the chance or hit one of the poles which are wider set anyway) where they would have hit a guard rail and come to a much more abrupt stop.

Sliding is where it's at in an accident- stopping... only over time.
