How did you manage to see it coming and bail,
When stopped at a junction I'm in the habit constantly scanning my mirrors
in my peripheral vision.
Just at the last second before the impact I saw the Merc logo appear in the
left hand mirror and new that an impact was inevitable.
I let go of the bars and as the impact occurred jumped up and to the left as
the bike took off out from underneath me.
I landed in a crouch, slightly to the left of the truck while the bike ended
up being thrown across two lanes of traffic.
It was all very Spiderman :O)
I was amazed that I was completely uninjured and equally amazed that drivers
in the oncoming lanes managed to avoid the flying Triumph! The only damage
to my gear was a 1" rip in my Dainese gloves and a scuff on the toe of my
boots where I landed.
