Decided not to buy the farm

That was a close call, glad you made it through safely.

So glad you're OK!! I say a quick prayer of thanks to the Nomad designers when I hear of stories like this. The gyroscopic balance and beefy design help when fighting something like that. And you did a great job as a rider too.

I took a piece of flying tire about 12 inches long in the windshield at 70 MPH a few weeks ago. The Nomad shook it off like a bug! It also convinced me never to ride again without the windshield...it would have hit me right in the neck or chest...OUCH!

The unexpected happens so fast....

Suddenly I saw a nine foot length of truck tread stretching across the road. I thought I am not going to ride this out. As I hit I aimed for the center and prepared to go down. I bounced up, then the trailer went. The front end went into a tankslapping manuver and I remember thinking I am still in trouble. A touch of back brake and even pressure on the front end while coming down in speed and I was back traveling down the road. The bike was not damaged. The trailer had a chain come off the bike and one fender got bent down almost to the tire. Sometimes it just pays to be lucky I reckon.

Definitely hard on the underwear, but a small price to pay.

Wow, I hope to never have to do that! Glad to hear you stayed focused and survived.

Peter, Glad you came out relatively ok. So how long did it take to pull the underwear out of your crack???
