Too many modern cars now lock the doors as soon as you exceed 10mph. Spoil sports! Need to look if there is a visible lock, 'cos if you've just tried the door handle and failed, you've next to no chance of them winding down the window.

Davey, you did the right thing IMO, you sensed something was going to happen and took yourself out of the situation.

It's a double plus as well cos you was turning off soon after, most times you'll be able to overtake them in a minute anyway and can always wave as you fly by

It's best not to get involved tbh in the first place, something I need to learn myself.

Ha, ha, no chance Grumpy! Not when you get pi$$ed off with a driver

As said well done for taking a timeout. I had an old guy on a straight back road swerving out in my path every time there was an overtake chance when i did manage to get along side at a junction he gave me loads of attitude and said he was sick of bikers thinking they owned the road so he never let them pass

Nop, crack today.

thanks for all the replies guys, the tyres have done 5200miles, they are the originals and plans were to put some stickies on this summer, the sv is usually for commuting and the stock dunlops still have at least 5-6k left on them, the flat spot isn't that bad its just noticeable compared to the other side. To the one they call the "specialone" i never even thought of tyre pressures, the last time i filled them up was about 6 months ago and have done about 2k in that time, if all the worry is down to such a simple thing i shall allow everyone on the sv forum to slap me with a fish!!

I dont wanna have a go or anything but you should really be checking your pressures every week at the very least.

I try to check mine before every ride, I've experienced what you described in your post hence that's why I suggested it.

I hope it is that mate, easiest thing to put right

ok thanks special one, i'll make it a regular thing, still not had chance to look at the bike i'm in the middle of moving into a small unit so my SV is wedged in with tools and boxes piled all around it, will let you know and me too hope its just that
