I was lane splitting between two longg rows of cars (I'm in Ca.)

 One decided to dart into a space in the left lane and cross over in front of me with no blinker at the last minute. I slammed on my brakes and moved left to avoid the a$$ hole and my left hand hit the side view mirror of a car going about 25 to 30 mph. Blew the mirror off the car and into pieces with my knuckles and fingers taking all the force. I was able to come to a safe stop and pull over.

The chick driving the car was cute and understanding. She said she actually saw the whole thing happen in her mirror! I still have darkish spots where my fingers were bruised to the bone. I was wearing Icon Stealth Gloves with hard knuckle and finger protection thank god.
Not putting miles on your bike is like not having sex with your Girl Friend so she'll be more desirable to her next Boy Friend.
