Hi Guys. I just want to thank the Lord for preserving me. I was Driving out of Stratford Ont on my motorcycle just speeded up into the fast zone doing 50-60 when someone pulled directly in front of me. I tried to hold it up but lost it. Slid about a 100 ft. If I didn't believe in divine protection angels and miracles I certainly do now.

The bike was on its side the front tire dug into the road at a 45% angle and stayed there lifting the middle of the bike into the air. Picture a triangle. My sleeve was caught on the throttle holding me up in the air with it. Somehow my foot and leg got out from under the bike. So other than a badly banged knee from when it first hit the road and a couple of bad scrapes I'm fine.

Also for some reason from what I saw the bike had only a little damage. Dented tank scraped front fender and bent brake pedal.

On a positive note I've been on holidays so now I can continue them for another week.

I should add that I was going a little fast didn't have my safety equip on (short sleeve shirt) and got a little careless. If it hadn't been for the Lord it could have been very very serious. I'm not giving up biking but I am going to take a serious look at what I'm doing. There is a former motorcycle police officer that lives nearby and gives weekend courses on advanced motorcycle handling I think I'm going to take it.

Lastly I'm sure you would all agree that faith and divine protection don't take the place of common sense. A thought I'm going to take seriously to heart
