Shorts it is not so much blaming women as blaming our weakness for them.

My wife frequently reminds me that tittay gazing while riding is going to kill me.
Dyin'? Boy, he can have this little life any time he wants to. Do ya hear that? Are ya hearin' it? Come on. You're welcome to it, ol' timer. Let me know you're up there. Come on. Love me, hate me, kill me, anything. Just let me know it.

Wow. Glad to hear you came out okay.

The upside to this (aside from seeing a hot beach babe) is you didn't panic and had the where-with-all to manuevre out of the situation okay.

In the world of Karma, that girl owes you a date :lol:

Not staring at a girl, but not focusing on the road has almost gotten me a few times. I going around this corner not long ago, and a house was on the inside of the corner. There was a porch with a couple of people on the swing out front. I was making my corner at a good clip with a decent amount of lean, and glanced over at the people would clearly be thinking "Wow, that guy is so cool". When I glanced back to the curve I was going way wide! I did an extremly mentally challenged wobble and slow down and started breathing again. Big puff of fog on my shield. The moral is, you a right, paying attention is key and not forgetting the rules. It is easy to feel like a natural on your bike, but you can't get so comfortable you forget what you must be watching.
