I had a better chance to read back on this thread. Flip fronts make you more visible? Not a chance. It could be that your observations are somehow better with the flip front up... It seems very like you find correlation between things that have no actual relationship. Cognitive biasses are a thing, and everyone suffers from them, but we as humans need to use our intellect to push past them. If you assume you're always right, and that everything you observe must be because of the relationships you ascribe to them then you can get yourself into a lot of trouble on a whole lot of fronts really.

It's a shame as I really feel like I'm picking on Smiler here... I'm not but I do observe a few warning signs in his writing here. It was there when he was a regular member before, and it's still there now.

Who'd have guessed that his first post back after a long hiatus was a crash report? I strongly suggest you do some advanced rider training Sam old son. I don't care if you've done 4000 or 4,000,000 miles in the mean time... There is still a worrying pattern - at least judging from your posts if not real life on the road.

I thought she pulled out into his path and as he moved right she kept going right. Right into his path which he was then committed to as no longer any space to go left and no space to go right as the central reservation was in the way.

God knows why she went straight for the right lane of that dual carriageway,

I appreciate it's a fair bit further ahead but she could've been getting over into lane two so that she could turn right into St. Michael's Road. It's 600 yards down the road. It's quite a well-used route tbh.

Can’t believe Smiler’s getting grief and blame for being knocked off his bike! Did he do absolutely everything to prevent it? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. However somebody pulled from a side street into his path. Surely the ‘fault’ is still 100% the other driver?! How are we making the Victoria m wear any blame whatsoever?

It is a dual carriageway.

When did you pass your MOD 2 to allow you to ride a GSX600F?

You do have the correct license don’t you? Otherwise you’d be riding otherwise in accordance and your insurance would be invalid.

Fair point. He must have a full licence, or else the police would have picked up on this when they ran his details and his plate...

Content notwithstanding, there seem to be a couple of members who have come out of long term retirement soley to have a pop at smiler.

All seems a bit stalky to me?
