Closest call I've ever had

a while ago
I-5 North near Lombard, Portland, OR
Description:
Stop and go in rush hour traffic. I'm on a motorcycle. Things start to pickup and flow, I accelerate to 40 or 50 but have to slam on the brakes so hard that i do a mini indo inches away from the back of some minivan. The indo is so forcefull, my body is lifted off the bike, only my knees catch on the handlebars and flip me over. I catch my hands on the front tire and basically tip over sideways amid gawking onlookers. Terrible.
