A scary moment for the wheelier

    On the way back home, going along the forest roads, I suddenly encountered
    a group of 5 or so sheep - on the sides of the road on a bend. One of them
    had started to walk across, so I had to brake a fair bit.

    Continuing on around to the straight, I suddenly had the feeling that I'd
    have to indicate to a bike that there were sheep - what do you know, next
    thing a bike comes bombing around the bend ahead, then pulls a wheelie -
    heading straight for me, which shit me up a bit. This caused me to
    frantically flap my hand about to try to get him to both slow down, and
    put the front end down, as a mere 100 yards further on he'd probably
    collide with a mess of sheep.

    I didn't see any bike bits on the road this morning, so I assume he didn't
    hit them, either that or he came off in one piece.

  4. If there was no shite on the road, he didn't have The Wrong Trousers on.

    Should that be "a close shear" ?
