| Four weeks ago i was riding my 2002 yamaha virago 250 motorcycle at about 25mph on a one lane country road. i was in the middle of a gentle curve when the bike suddenly accelerated and headed straight rather than bearing left on the curve. although i tried my hardest to lean left it felt like the bike was speeding out of control and locked in the straight position. there was no shoulder and i ran into the guard rail. i'm fortunate that my broken arm and leg, crushed knee and elbow will heal in time. i don't know what caused the sudden acceleration.*ak | |||
