I really don't know how to explain one accident let alone two. I'm sitting thinking how am I alive right now. Head on collision with a pick up and then going through a stop sign in David, Panama almost turned this short trip of mine to something shorter. 

The bike is as good of shape as it was after the first collision so I will keep calm and carry on. 

I'm extremely happy to be unharmed and alive. The first close call was bad enough and two in a day is pushing my luck. Which I seem to have a lot of for some reason. I must have some kind of guardian angel but I don't buy into that stuff. 

I think I'm thinking too much about where I want to be, and not where I am. I'm not being present with myself and what I'm doing. 

The first accident was really not using enough caution on a curvy road. It was a dangerous road all the more reason to use more caution. I know better. The second accident was night time riding in an unfamilar city and country. I was rushing to find a cheap hotel after the first one we checked out was full. The sign was almost invisible behind all the trees and bushes but that's not an excuse not to drive more defensively. I'm incredibly lucky to be unharmed and the bike has not more damage than she had from the first accident. The crash bars are bent on the right side but they did their job in protecting the bike. The photos are dramatic. The one thing for certain is that Anders is getting a lot for his travel blog.

Look for the stop sign
