Default Re: Scary Moment This Morning

I went for a gap a month or two ago and executed the manouver lovely only for a bus to decide he wanted to pull out of his stop without looking or indicating while i was along side him.

I about crapped myself and its the closest I have come to becoming 'a real biker' and having an off. Locked up both wheels and stalled the bike whilst nearlly going into the back of a car whilst performing evasive action as I literaly had nowhere to go. It was more than likely my fault though in hindsight and I'm certainly alot more careful when picking gaps in traffic

Live and learn.

Yup, you would never catch Tommi Mäkinen taking his car through a forest.
