Global warming! Can't believe I spent an afternoon on October 31st cutting grass, I reckon I've spent more time on the mower in September and October than I did for the entire summer!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
2 incidents on the bike.
1. Idiot took a right filter on a red light. Had to hit the brakes hard to avoid t-boning him as he shot across in front of me. 2. While overtaking a slow moving queue on the A140 (NSL) one car violently swerved into the oncoming lane to stop me overtaking him.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
filtering past stationary traffic, girl decided she wanted to u-turn
Almost dodged it, but not quite new fairing, nose cone, gear lever, foot peg and boot required. thankfully my boot did its job, and my foot is just swollen to all heck |

GWS it could have been much worse, and you won't be footing the bill

On a related note: Part of my commute is rural, bike got absolutely covered in **** this morning. This afternoon once it had burned to the exhaust a bit more it became the most rancid thing I've ever smelled.. On the plus side I have a lot less flies on my visor |
