Welcome back Toronto, I need info from your trip for my trip out west before August this year.Ill treat you for PHO :)
 
Wheelieboy is probably gonna sleep for days now, only briefly awakening long enough to fart out the buffet of healthy "home" food he has gorged. Good luck getting the rest of the story before the middle of the week!!!
 
Welcome back to Toronto. Good trip! You'll be remembering this adventure for a loooooong time.
 
Too bad the gas canister wasn't in a more reachable place. You could've lit that up and throw it at the cager... would've teached him
 
aww i wish i had loged in earlier. i live close to that esso.

welcome back! write everything u didnt get a chance to before u forget it. post rest of the pics and videos when u catch a breath.
 
So anyways, the story is...

I was on an offramp to a connecting highway which split into the 2 different directions (East/West?). I was going left and the person in front was going right...so I thought. He changed his mind last minute as I was alongside his quarter panel. He nudged my arm forward so the bike started leaning right and I was fighting to keep it straight. When my arm slipped off his quarter panel, the handlebars went in the opposite direction really fast and I ended up highsiding, going through the chevron, and landed in a pile of mud. A cop was pretty much 2 minutes behind and helped me up. He was a city cop so it wasnt his jurisdiction so called for the county cops. They county cops came and I told them not to write an accident report because Ontario screws you over with hit and runs so he just recorded it as a citizen assist instead of a motor vehicle accident.

I ended up duct taping my busted mirror to my handlebar and went on my way.

For sure! Whatever the trip cost me, well...I definitely went over budget bigtime. But I'd never be able to put a price on this experience.

I'm surprised that gas canister survived all that abuse. It survived 3 encounters with the ground this trip
 
I was going to ask you since you did such a decent trek on a number of decent roads how bad the drivers were in comparison to ours. I guess this pretty much sums up an answer though. Ain't nothing like driving on the Death Valley Parkway or the treacherous 401. Glad you made it home safe though mate.

Wonder if he decided to "slow it down" like he said he was going to.

I actually did slow it down today. The fastest I went was 85mph and that was when I was following a jackrabbit. There are SOOO many cops hiding on the highways in Michigan. They got the message across.
