Nice Overtake ( Not )
 

Ive not been posting on here to long , so forgive me for already moaning about this but I had to.

Today around 6.30am I was happily driving my lorry along the single carriage way part of the A21 between Pembury & T/Wells . It is a really bad accident black spot with at least 2 bad ones in the last 10 days.
So today I was driving along doing around 40mph when a bike came out of nowhere and overtook me without a care for what was coming the other direction , I know this because they missed the oncoming lorry by a massive 15 foot as they darted back in front of me .

I'm posting this here because the bike was a lovely quite highly modified SV , and I'm hoping he might be a poster on here , so mate if you are I would like to let you know that my heart has only just dropped back into place , and next time you choose to brace the world with some of your idiotic riding skills , can you please do so where your the only one that will come to harm , because that nearly killed me of a heart attack.

wernt me and cant coment on his rideing,and by theway i have a hgv licence,but i would like to comment on the way most hgv drivers these days think its ok to put there indicator on and pull out infront of you just as you are overtakeing them this happens most days wether i be on a bike or car even at legal speeds,and i think these driver think the use of a indicator gives them a right to cut you up

Re: Nice Overtake ( Not )
 

probably going to hate me for saying this but, i used to be like that. but think bike and IAM have changed my ways.

now i get moaned at for not overtaking. and my reasoning for it. I just cant be bothered. Its easier to follow traffic.

and the sv650 just isnt fun as it used to be. (or the fact mine keeps misfiring )
