close call this morning - always do your life savers

[pompousporcup...]

Not one to usually upload shit to youtube but this happened this morning could have been bad had neither of us seen each other.

don't blame the guy at all (not the point of uploading) and tbf i've filtered to the front and aimed for that gap on many occasions but its a reminder to always check over your shoulder

camera lense makes it seem like miles, i would have been occupying that space had i not swung left.

[chris-red]

Swung left? You moved like a foot that you didn't need too.

Pukka despatch manoeuvre on matey's part if a tad too cocksure past the van.

At least it brings home to you how cagers feel when you do the same to them!

The only criticism that I have of you both is that, each lacking in the phwoar-'silencer' dept., full advantage making of the tunnel was lost.

Well done, all the same

true. why it (ped) decided to walk that side is beyond me.. theres a perfectly good pavement the other side. the van that was behind ended up stopping as its a tight squeeze between the cars on the right and the wall.

[RhynoCZ]

Where's the close call? I might missed it.

On my training my instructor suggested that life savers were in the real world mostly for looking out for other bikes
as they can sneak up on you and keep up with or try to pass you.
Most ordinary cars would have to try pretty hard to get past almost any full size bike that was being ridden to make progress.

Why were you sat at the side of the road?

Standard pipes are fucking gay.

[pompousporcup...]

Pipes not standard just wasn't giving it death in the tunnel.

I was on the left as I'd filtered to the front where sitting in the right side of the van would mean I'm in the line of on cominf traffic.

[Pie-Roe]

I liked your valiant attempt to catch him to give him a piece of your mind, but the lack of powah thwarted you.
