Scott,
a similar thing happened to me with a road whale (motorhome) last year. See my thread waaay down
this forum, "close encounter of the second kind", or something like this.
Only I got out of this VERY lucky, not much damage done.
Your're right, PLEASE ALL BE VERY CAREFUL in a situation like this. Never trust ANYone turning across
your lane, no matter where the sun is. Us motorcyclists are very likely to be overseen, so ALWAYS
have your headlights running. In situations like this, when I got the sun in my back
I even have the high beams on.
Ride careful you all,
Alfred
