John,

You may have a future in Supense Essays . Great account .
A question for you - " Do you think you would have been any better off
landing in the traffic had you been in the same situation in your
Ventus2CM " ?

The expressway there is three lanes but has almost no shoulder on either
side (not wide enough to pull off with a car). There is a 20 foot sound wall
on the edge and a concrete barrier with light poles stuck in it in the
center.

What's the span of a Vetus2CM? He probably had 50 feet of road to work with.
My guess is he would have been hosed. Eh?
