Today I kissed (as in: crashed into) a car....
I was filtering in traffic up to some lights and moved around a van that had decided that he wanted to go right (into the second lane) but did need to use his indicators to warn me. So swung round to the left and realised there was a car there. Pulled on the front brake and pressed the back, the back then locked up and slid while the front seemed rather wooly. I hit the car... only at about 3mph but enough to jar me and make me swear. At that time the lights changed and they drove off.... I pulled over in the next layby to check the bike but it looks like it was just tyre that hit.
Oh well... I couldn't see any damage and I don't think they even noticed. I'll have to give me brakes a good looking at this weekend. |

Just a little tip Grinch:
Don't crash into cars.
