WOW Almost Flipped it!

Hey Y'All just thought i'd share my scary experience w/ the group.
i was flying down the ny state thruway heading south from nanuet to nyack. there was traffic, but we were movin at 85 mph in the left lane. i was bookin. changed from center lane to left lane, i was lookin back at the center lane, but i had to wait to pass a car till i could get back in the center to advance on a car. i was crusin for a second or two ... looked to my right.... thinkin about makin my move.......(the guy ahead of me was lookin in his rearview at me)..........the car in the center was closing in on me, so i decided to play it cool and stay on the left.........all of a sudden i seen BRAKELIGHTS! I fuckin reacted like there was a snake in my pants!! the jerkoff in front of me locks up his brakes, i yanked real hard and felt the front wheel rip the asphault then i released, and re-applied, so i would'nt lock up and wipe out. thank god he pulled to the shoulder to give himself room, cause he gave me room also. i was pissin my pants afterwards.......... i almost dumped my baby....... lets not have that happen again.....

Holy shit son! Got's to be more careful! how did you notice things like the driver looking at you in the rearview but did not notice that traffic was stopping ahead of time.

Ahahahah,...and if deer had cellphones,lipstick,70 button radios,newspapers and yelling kids, they would be just as dangerous as a cager.

Another forum member also found out how powerful the front brakes are, when he looped it. They are crazy how much speed they scrub off!

The scariest heart pounding moments on my 14 are when I have to panic stop/slow down, not usually because I misjudge traffic but because I am flying way faster than it feels like I am. I don't even feel like i'm moving until I hit 70 mph. The engine is lugging below 4000 rpm in 6th and there's little wind noise. You hit it up to 120 - 130 and whoooooah someone changes lanes or traffic slows down to a crawl and you go shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit stooooooooooop! They come up fast when you are actually going faster than you feel you are.
Sometimes it seems like it takes longer to stop than it took to get up to that speed.
I wonder if anyone has done stopping vs. acceleration tests.
