I overtook a car that was stopped, & waiting to turn left into a junction. Not sure why but i was having one of those 'moments' where you do something stupid to keep th adrenaline on a roll.

Very silly. Rolling Eyes

the last stupid thing I would say was approaching a roundabout at full chat and just presuming cars would see me or there be none there, and went into it with the intention of flicking it right over left round the bend before it, over to the right round it and back over left on the exit. (this was a few weeks before my accident on the other tyres by the way!!!)

obviously it was silly and a gamble and there was a car which thought i was going round so pulled out meaning i had to pull it up and brake but there was plenty of time (pulled out as i was about to flick it the other way and take the turning off) I didnt vent my anger at her for pulling out... as I knew i was stupid going in tryng to be crazy. Just have to say, that this ride was quite the opposite of how i was riding when I actually had my accident last Friday! Very Happy

only real stupid thing ive done, bit tame really, dont do many stupid overtakes.

Undertook another biker the other day, fast enough for him to make a comment at the next set of lights... Embarassed

Wasent a ropey for either of us IMO but from his POV i can see that i was going fast enough for him to only notice me as i came past (poor obs i guess on his part and twattish riding on mine...)

Then i gave him the finger and pulled a massive wheelie from the lights... , nah it was all sorted by the time the lights went green, no hard feelings...

Checking over a black pan with the rider in a white helmet wondering if it's an unmarked police bike. Not being able to see any special instrumentation so carrying on as normal. Then when doing 50 in a 40 not really slowing down when he appears in my mirrors thinking "Nah he won't be an unmarked police bike. And even if he is it's not as though this 50 in a 40 is particularly dangerous".

Wrong.

Thursday.

Was following a ford explorer with its hazards on doing 10mph on a 45 road. Thought nothing of it till a line of traffic built up behind us. I wasn't going to over take on a solid line as the copshop is on the end of this road and a load of cops use it for a shortcut to the highway and I have just got my license reissued Laughing

After 2 cars over take when the road allows it, I decide to go ahead and go as by this point she has no hazards on and is still doing under 10mph.

Just as I draw level with the stupid bitch, she turned into me. No warning just f*cking swung the car left into the road I was gonna go down.

Que me slamming on the brakes and sliding around the corner and she is still turning the whole time accelerating we are inches apart my tyre screeching chain making that *jug jug jug* sound around the whole bend. I get run off road onto grass.

She flips me off and carries on.

Adrenaline is going at this point and I start to chase the bitch down. Laughing like a nutter the whole time thanks to the adrenaline and actually enjoying it. I just felt like ripping the doors off and just beating the living shit out of her.

I caught up with her at the end of the road thanks to a stop sign, I started swearing so much Laughing I couldn't even open the visor on my lid fast enough to start going off on her. Just as I got to the door she sped off I managed to punch the rear of wing but twas all Crying or Very sad then road home laughing. Still don't know why she was doing 10mph and less and then speeding off.

It wouldn't of bothered me had she used her indicators. She just swung it out and punched the gas and sped off. I would have been in the wrong. The road layout is different now by the way its split to allow overtakes.

I still don't know how I reacted so quick, I think I must of picked up her moving inside the explorer, cause I was so close the whole time I'm shocked I didn't hit her.

Red line - Meh

Blue line - Redneck bitchy.

God I hate redneck's Laughing

I raced a policeman once. He was on a ZX6R and I was in a 1.6 Ford Sierra Very Happy

Wasn't really much of a race even though he was 2 up I had a 5 minute head start while he was putting his jacket and helmet on.

Passed me like I was standing still.


I have noticed that cars start looking like mobile chicanes and that all the traffic lights are like the start of the MotoGP if I'm out playing on the bike for too long though. Stupid things come thick and fast if i'm not careful.

I'd love a play on a proper stroker like that. I've never had the chance. Powerbands look like fun.

I often get home from work and think, boy you rode like a cunt tonight! I pull some (IMHO) stupid moves in traffic sometimes, but then I see ped bois and sports bikes doing really stoopid stuff and think meh.

Anyway last week when the M5 was shut, so the police could retrieve some bullets from the carriageway, I filtered from Gloucester to Junc13 all the way down the A38. I was going a bit quick, and in my opinion was assertive rather than aggressive, but 3 vehicles still tried to take me out. I was watching and had I been going slower it wouldn't have been an issue, but I didn't want to be late... cock! Mr. Green

Two lanes, left lane goes straight ahead or left, right lane goes right. Everyone in the left lane so I went to the line in the right lane so I could get a speedy getaway and go straight on. Lights are on red, and these lights stay on red for a bit, so put it in to neutral. Bit later I get ready to go, hands on the bars levers etc, and ended up revving the tits of the bike. I forgot to put it in gear and tried to set off lol. I could have sworn I did.

On my way home on friday evening I got to a roundabout roughly two miles from home, just before some derestricted roads and saw a police traffic car parked up on one side of the island with the local scooter boys getting some attention from the officers. I was on my R6 so as I entered the roundabout I gave it a fistful of throttle (think Akrapovic race can) and wheelie straight past the lot of them.

There was no way they could physically see my number plate from the angle that I passed them at and they wouldn't have stood a chance of jumping in their car and finding me before I was long gone down one of many lanes. Very Happy
