I can't disagree..things were happening pretty fast and I didn't think things through. Once I got behind the car and secured the bike, seeing the traffic coming at me, I started to realize I was in a very bad place. In hindsight..dumb move, but it's over now.

I see you're in M-Falls. I was on 894 east of 27th street heading south right where 894-east turns south to 94..by the airport. Right on the curve..the bolt failed mid corner and I pulled over shortly after.
