I know, London Bridge station.. Between the first set of lights and the major set of lights its play "clip the pedestrian".. I already have my visor up, finger and foot on brake ready.. Im also ready with some one liner to make them look stupid...

If they argue, point out the two crossings either side and ask them if they are just plain lazy or plain dumb? Or do they think they can win a stand up fight with a bike weighing 170kg

They wll come off worse, elbows get stuck out at the ready......

I HATE that small bit of road.

lol you have already meet me mate ...i was the guy that spoke to you on the blue R6 who accidently wheelied down the road

That just makes you lucky. The unexpected will always happen eventually.

Two busses, walk straight out between them looking left at the on-coming traffic, not for bikers. All the vans stop there, lorries etc, makes it very hard to see whats coming (even looking accross at the path) until they decide to walk in front of you...

agreed, i think my observation skills are fine... i mean they could always be better...but they ok ..

as you said daimo round there its a nightmare as is the top end of cannon street

I only jest young padowan. Although that morning where you where having trouble with your clutch, you did almost run in the back of the SVThou at the lights!
I actully hit a boke once whilst he was on his phone. It happens, but you just have to remember. Not everyone thinks bike.

Daimo. You really cant miss my SV mate, truly you cant. I usualy go across the bridge about 8ish give or take 10 mins

no way i was fully in contraol i just cut it fine thats all



but yes your right.

How do you expect the un-expected?

It wouldn't be un-expected if you knew it was going to happen.

On roads you go on again and again you should already know what the risks are and slow down and try not become complaisant if nothing has happened before.

I was going into work today coming up to a junction with two side roads that cars are not allowed to turn into as they would block up travel, well indicated on the lights. I'm always aware that people might turn but as it has not happened in a long time i underestimated the stupidity of people and as i was coming up beside a car i noticed the indicator turn on and started to move, instantly i had to gun it as braking in my opinion would have more likely resulted in a collision with the car or the people behind me.

Now becoming complaisant can be just as bad as lack of observation.

p.s. I am not commenting on anyones riding as mine is apparently awful, this is just an observation.

I think some bull bars are in order....maybe with some spikes on and some frickin lazer beams attached.....muhhhahahahahahah!!!

TSM, agreed, thats why im already covering the brakes, visor up ready to shout, thats every day.......

Stewboy - yeah i know who you are

Viney, ahhh, far too early for me, im only just getting my kit on at 8am!!!!

What came first the pedestrian or the engine?
