A guy just about came close to wiping me out about 5 minutes ago.
I was going round the inside of a standard sized 3 exit roundabout, tonnes of visibility all round...i seen him hoofing it on in the Land Rover as if to slingshot & go off the first exit i had already backed off....he didnt see me until he was already in the middle of the roundabout......if he kept going he woulda been fine but when he finally seen me he shit himself and anchored on......so we both ended up stopped on the roundabout.
I could tell he was gutted...youngish guy & it was a work land rover....he was apologising profusely & i was like shaking my head as if to say look just dont worry about it...get outta my way...he kept apologising...so..well i gave him the thumbs up the poor fucker....i think he learned big time & will be looking out for bikes...he is the type of bloke to take it seriously & have a word with himself & like with stig the responsibility really is on us to be looking out for this type of stuff.
I didnt even get pissed off.........but some snobby arsehole not giving a shit would have been a totally different kettle of fish.......we all make mistakes...but these type arent making mistakes.....it is the way they constantly are....foccin oxygen thiefs.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
