And this is why you check your mirrors when braking!

Asshole.
 
I was nearly taken out by a guy after I had pulled in to let an ambulance by. As the ambulance passed, he hammered past me as I was about to pull away. I guess thats why the over shoulder check is called a life saver.
 
Oh, I cought the guy a couple of miles down the road. I might have clipped his offside mirror on my way past (read-left it swinging in the wind)

Mate that was too close for comfort

Fair play to you Stiggy for staying calm when you get an asshole like that.

Asshole.

Always a bastard when Karma affects your judgment of a bike's width

Very lucky , but the guy as he rides on is filtering like an Idiot in  my book , unless it just looks as if he is going fast because I am viewing it on the lap top.

I'm faster than most but slower than some, remember that fisheye lenses distort the width gap and speed!

...and that he is a courier with excellent bike control and experience ^^ :P

Last time I try to give a compliment... 

I'm also getting the feeling that someone is spreading rumours about me as some of these makes no sense Pig farm?!

[fazersharp]

That reminds me of those cameras -- do they have to be Sooooooo wide angle, can you get them not so wide, or can you put them through a program the sort it, as it looks like I couldnt walk through those gaps you rode through

If you are not aware both of those are quotes from the film Snatch!

Don't know about other cameras but on the go pro you can change the angle settings within the camera itself before recording, for riding round London I prefer to be able to catch as much as possible so keep it on wide angle!

"The guy" is indeed Punkstig himself. 


Some say.......he filters like a collie dog doing the obstacle course at Crufts.

 Some unbelievably inpatient punters  these days
 
I was sat at red lights one morning on the way to work  when the guy behind pipped his horn
Was wondering WTF when I realised it was because the next set of lights where changing to green ahead
We were still at red but the guy was beeping for me to jump the lights
 
Cue ironic headshake lol

He is no less a twat but I think he may of just been looking at the wrong set of lights.

The other way around--- I was sitting on the right hand side of a woman at red lights, no one else around and they went green and she sitll sat there fiddling with phone, still green light, still fiddling, so I pip my horn - she looks up and I point at the green light and then do a "after you" gesture

[Punkstig]

I've just caught another interesting one, hopefully post video tonight!

If you look at the speed the pedestrians walk across the road after the stop, it's almost Charlie Chaplin.  It looks like the video is being speeded up for some reason.  Might be down to most of these small cameras record at 30 fps but we use 25 fps.  No, hang on, that would slow everything down??  Perhaps the camera is set correctly for 25 fps and Youtube is playing back at US standard 30 fps......

Lol, no rusty, the pedestrians and traffic speed up because, I double timed the speed in the edit whilst waiting for the red light, once it goes amber it changes back to normal speed!

The Fazer horn is pretty weedy tho. When I've tried to avoid being killed by a car driver it just sounds so feeble.
