[Ducati] My little adventure

[Steve Abramson]

Stuart,

I have shared your story with my non list rider friends-obviously an amazing 
experience. VERY quick thinking required to make the decision to turn into 
any bike, whether it's yours or not. We were a little confused since you 
said there was not much damage to either vehicle, so we wondered if you 
could tell us more about the dynamics of the impact-how fast was each 
vehicle going/was it a glancing blow, etc. Inquiring minds want to know.
