Ah, but Simian can speak with particular authority on throwing ones bike down the road....several times.....
I do normally honk when in that position, but it wasn't appropriate on this occasion as I was so close to him when he pulled out.
Unfotunately accident reports seem to trigger my boredom filter so it's rare I read them through. Even if I do I don't really learn from them. As I said it's an advanced learning skill and not one I have in many areas.
BGN? He'z just ziz guy, you know? Anger. Next time some damn fool pulls out in front of you just kick the shit out of them. And make sure you've got a "broken" number plate and keep your helmet on. Oh, and don't forget sexual equality too, do the same if its a man or woman.
I did read yours, but only because I knew it would be good VFM. If I had the time I'd look for an outfit. Problem is that it's taken me about three months and counting to complete a 'shim service' on the K1100LT, time is a little tight. Still now my voice has finally gone so I've a few days at home to get shit done.
Exactly, if you've time to sound the horn and gesticulate then there's usually time not to have an accident.
Sometimes and I've successfully shocked the odd driver and saved myself a few times. Unfortunately for me, my recent daft women did the drive up to the junction swiveling head and pull out all in one continuous manoeuvre. And they've already decided that it's a safe thing to do because after all there won't be anyone there, so there's a lack of clues.
Guy Fawkes scribbled: So you're a stumpy fucker who blames the bike cause they can't ride it. "pod thing"? I've just stripped the fairing off mine and put it back together. Once I got the plastic poppers figured out its an absolute doddle to do. Right, "mechanically incompetent too" So the black plastic bits on the side of the front fairing aren't there to stop the rest of the plastics getting scratched? Thats just a happy co-incidence? Good. And you've obviously never removed and weighed the whole of the fairings. Weigh **** all. Put a liter less petrol in the tank, that'll more than compensate. So in your world there is only one type of "road" bike right? Never mind 'commuters', 'sports', 'sports tourers', 'semi off road', 'trials', 'cruisers'... So this'd be why my VStrom shits all over my Africa Twin in the handling, speed, acceleration, looks, torque, bhp, braking? An older bike in the same category as the Strom. And FWIW the VStrom is actually easier to get to the servicable bits on than the AT. Ah, its all becoming clear now.... If you wanted a similar bike to that why the hell did you buy a tall modern semi-trial bike then? Did you do absolutely *no* research? Are you terminally thick? Even just *looking* at a Strom you should have had some sort of a clue as to its intended purpose. which you still haven't worked out, even now. <hint> There's more to choosing a new bike and just counting the number of cylinders.
