What did you do to your bike today?

Yep, 125's tend to be a bit more invisible unfortunately.

This is the reason I wanted an aftermarket can, got clipped off my 125 a while back with the token "I didn't see you". I'll probably take the baffle out at some point and see whether I prefer it without or not but it'll have to wait as I've lost my circlip pliers. :(
 
I wasn't riding but just saw a guy on a VFR almost get hit by some blind pillock on a roundabout this morning. The rider narrowly avoided the front end of a car that pulled out at him.
The rider carried on but was waving his hands and shaking his head, was really ****** off, understandably.
I was behind in a car getting a lift in today and i don't understand how the driver didn't see him, seriously, the bike was right in front of him...

Luckily the rider has the 6th sense we all tend to have, where you kinda know what drivers are doing before they do.
 
Was half a second away from getting completely wiped out today. :(

2 lanes of traffic, 2 separate set of lights, My lane to go straight on & the right lane to turn right.
My lane was on Green so I was following a car when some old boy in a Focus turned right from his side of the road & come through a gap hid behind a Lorry & slammed into the car in front of me. Literally half a second later & I'd have been wiped out by a side impact.
I stopped on my front mudguard :p so didn't hit owt & then pulled over to Help out. The old boy was obviously in shock so I reassured him as best as I could, Intercepted the crash victim & took the Rage away.
The old boy put his hands up as his fault I was Witness & the crash victims car was company so all in all it could have been a lot worse.

Can't get over how close I was to a heavy side impact but at least my emergency stops are instinctive now. :p


Locals - It was at the Desford crossroads.
 
Some silly bint thought it would be a good idea to "step out" in front of me today on my R1200 GSA around a corner! Had to slam on, the problem was she saw me & I saw her but she went for it anyways knowing it was tight (she committed to the 1st step so carried on regardless) riding at 50 mph it takes some stopping at close quarters.

Low oil light popped on, only on 7k still being run in for boxer?
 
Washed and polished the ZX6R as I'm just about to put it up for sale. I tend to use the car or Street Triple and the ZX stays locked away for sunny days only which is why it only has 800 miles on the clock. I'm going to be moving house later in the year and it's unlikely that I'll have a garage at the new place so I might as well sell the ZX and just stick with the Street Triple instead.

I tend to ride out to Kelston Park for bike photos too! Shame I can't get there til they reopen the road without taking some kind of detour (which I'm too lazy to find!)

:eek: + :(

I'd put more than that on in the first weeks ownership, What's the matter with you man ??? :mad:

Think the only way you can gain any credibility out of this whole fiasco is to give the bike to me. :D
 
Not today but sunday re-done the timing as it was 1 tooth out and was doing my head but just didn't have the time and patience. All done now, totally different bike :D
