Hey Ophic

Basically I agree with you that you can not avoid everything by "expecting the unexpected" but riding a motorcycle demands defensive practices and fundamental accident avoidance skills.

But....Blind sighted and following too close are covered by the most basic rule 'drive to the conditions prevailing'

Hope the next one isn't from his girlfriend or mother that we add to what is an appalling record on this forum for serious accidents.

I sense a lot of aggression in him and I hope that it does not cost him ...

I've very unaggressive actually. It was a bad day, and the fact i've a new crack in my fairing didn't make me feel like breaking out the marshmallows.

No doubt it was probably an exspensive rod.

Damn, the old spinning fisherman issue, will it never go away. Fishing is so slow and dull they all drink at least 20 pints of strong cider then get run over on the way home. It's a problem as old as time itself. Southend seafront is literally scattered with broken bits of rod and scattered hooks. Something needs to be done about it.
