GSX 250 vs Mercedes

should have done the other one too

Great story !

Tell me tj2, are you a big chap ? I can just see you talking to that merc driver now !!

Something that often goes ignored in these kind of situations......there are going to be a lot of car drivers who having seen you rip his mirror,kick his door etc. Will either leap out of the car and very possibly attack you either with what God gave them or even worse grab a suitable weapon from their boot.(Ignore the fact that you have your bike gear and helmet on....as if they dont do you they will have a few swipes at your bike)

There is also the chance that if a roadside confrontation does not take place that they could follow you and hound you in a threatening way as you ride along. This could cause you to have a fall or they could even nudge the bike to cause a fall.
I know it was car related but just remember the Ken Moyes case?

Please be very,very careful boys and girls as there are a lot of crazy people out there.

given I've owned a GT 185 & an X7 in my day, and although the gsx was the four stroke, I'd love to see a pic of the bike?

(didn't know many were still around)

Cheers Mark.

This is an old A plate 83/84, got it off ebay for a song, needed a tyre and an indicator bulb for the MOT. It had less than 6000 miles on it from new, and is now about to crack 10000. It still runs like a new one, even after I thrash it daily around the M42
Must get round to giving it a service one of these days, loads of things to buy for it like points and condensors

Wonder where those scratches came from?

I have on one occasion when a merc sports car decided to try a squeeze me out at a set of traffic lights, stuck my knee out some what further than one would whilst stationary. I stayed still when the lights changed and he drove off. Would have been fine but I was wearing titanium sliders at the time. He didn't even bother to stop. I bet he was p*ssed off when he got out the car.
