> Enjoy your rides....the video is a great addition, I must get one!
Thanks. Video is great to have. It can help you out if a cager turns
you into Quantus. It is also nice for a noob like me to be able to
review a ride and see what I need to work on.

So A ), you don't generally know how fast you're going, and
B ) you don't think it's signifigant to cover the front brake when
you see a potential emergency situation in front of you.
OK, I'm done. Those two statements show that there is no
point discussing your mistakes with you.

I was already rolled off the throttle. I simply didn't know I was
going to need to brake hard until the deer started to move.
