In many (most?) of those cases GB it's because the rider had no choice but to hit the vehicle that cut them off or pulled out/turned in front of them... Have come very close a number of times in those situations. Not saying that there aren't bikers at fault and who create accidents. Just saying the vast majority are not the biker's fault.

For those of you that have been stationed or been through Memphis, when you head out on I-55 toward Arkansas the road is really high since it is part of the Mississippi River flood plain. I was riding my 650 Honda and this old geezer in a brown Ranger pickup truck that was directly to my left swerved into me. I had no place to go except off of the road. Fortunately the river had been in flood and the mud kept me from getting severely injured. I had a collapsed lung but no severe injuries and luckily landed on my back instead of face down or I would likely have drowned since I was far enough down into the mud to barely move. There was a State Trooper not far behind me and help was on the scene in minutes but that was the last time that bike saw the road with me on it.

I like spicy food, maybe I ought to go check out the Indian restaurant in Tyler.....
If they have a buffet there then you'll get to try different type of dishes.
Unfortunately DH is not a fan of curry and will not try Indian food. So once in a while I'll order it for lunch at work with my "work daughter". :)

The thing about "curry", as in Indian dishes, is that curry isn't a single thing, there a tons of different curries. Some spicy some not so much. There is a Nepalese/Indian restaurant in a town ~20 miles from here. They have some great stuff and I am NOT a spicy food person. Wings? Make mine wimpy please! In fact we just made Onion Bhaji (essentially onion rings but made with chickpea flour) tonight. They are the best, "smoothest", onion rings ever. Had some batter left over so had a bit of Broccoli Bhaji as well. We had it at the restaurant many times. So often that when the owner saw us come in he told the kitchen to make an order because we ALWAYS ordered it. Sadly they stopped making it because not enough people ordered it and the batter doesn't keep but a day or so.

Im not a big fan of spicey, either. Even my chili is whimpy. I only put enough chili powder in to give it some flavor. I use minced onions because real ones ( ones you cut yourself ) make me hurl. If I crunch an onion, the sound and texture just make me lose it, but if I use fine, minced ones like the kind you buy in those shakers, it doesnt bother me. I think because they are so small and cook up so soft and I cant actually see them.
I do try to try new foods once and a while, but like I said, I keep going back to what Im used to. Its interesting to stretch your limits. You never know you might find something you like.
