You're a survivor. Welcome to the ranks. Yes, I took a couple of road slides back in the 80's, although the worst one was at around 60 km/h which is about 20kms slower than yours. I was cut off in heavy downtown traffic, I got somewhat banged up and earned some road rash on my left leg, had the leather jacket and helmet on. Bike was totalled. And as it happens there was an unmarked police car stopped just ahead of me (about 30 feet past where my bike stopped sliding), they saw everything, called for a tow truck, and an ambo for me.
As it happenedc a carload of hot girls pulled over, all of them saw what happened, all were freaked out, and I ended up getting one of their numbers. Nice blonde in the back seat. She turned out to be a danger addict so I had to let her go but it was fun while it lasted.
Ah the memories.
I don't think I know a single rider from back in those days who didn't earn some road rash. Thankfully most survived, as did you Joe. Welcome back btw.
