Guardian Angel was watching over me...
One beautiful summer night the wife and I were on our way back from visiting her parents, who lived in a small town. We were on our Honda 1100 Gold Wing, which is a fairly big bike. The route we chose was a motorcyclist's dream - lots of long curves, well maintained and a few hills to make things interesting. As we rounded one of the curves, to my utter shock I saw two sets of headlights right in front of us. Some idiot had decided it was OK to pass on a blind curve. I did the only thing I could think of and put the bike hard over to the right. We went off the road, into a ditch, across someone's front lawn,through another ditch and back on the road, somehow not dumping the bike.
Next day I went back to see where we had been, and discovered that we had missed a welded steel chain with a mailbox on it by inches. Both my wife and I were scared shitless and it was a while before I got back on the bike. Thanks to my (or maybe her) guardian angel who was undoubtedly watching over us that night.

I realise this isn't the venue to raise theological debates or question people's irrational beliefs but
your wife doesn't exist.

Must've
been a few years ago. Probably 30 years since Honda did that size engine in a Goldwing.
