A momentary lapse of concentration

Looks to be expensive. radiator's smashed, tank's got a big ding,
handlebars somewhat bent both sides, front indicator, brake lever,
clutch lever doesn't look good, headlight trim. I'm wondering if
breaking for spares might be the better option. I'll have a better look
tomorrow, oh and a new crash helmet by the looks of it. On the plus
side I seem to be largely OK.

 

Silly boy.

Pictures please.

 

Oh dear. Details?

I was exiting the Hogarth roundabout going west along the A4 in the
inside lane, I had just checked behind me because I was going to move
into the centre lane and when I looked back the car in front of me was
nearly stationary right on the apex of exit. I clipped his offside rear
wing which smashed the radiator and then came off the bike doing the
damage to the other side. Apparently a couple of cars ahead someone had
another vehicle drift into the nearside lane and stopped pretty
sharply. Because this was out of sight I didn't get any advance
warning. Obviously I was following too close though.

Doesn't look too bad really just not cheap.

Stupid ****. For future reference, those little wide-angle mirrors from
places like Halfords work wonders if you clip 'em to your main mirrors.
No more looking over the shoulder required.

That's what I though

Why's it called a life saver?

Restrains fist of death. What should I get next?

 

<fx:rifles through list of ukrm stock answers>

Angle grinder!

Oops, sorry. Wrong one...

Gixxer Thou!

 

Because people like to give stupid names to things to make them sound
important. It should really be called a 'blind spot check', which isn't
necessary if you haven't got any blind spots.

A Volvo.

Like "Speed Kills" clearly if the car in front had been going faster I
wouldn't have had an accident.

Isn't my Golf 1.9TDi enough of an old geezers motor for you?

 

"Life savers Kill"

On a roundabout they aren't quite wide angle enough though. Maybe I
need those stick ons Krusty suggested

"Speed saves lives"

 

Good grief no.

It'll T-Cut out.

Yeah - David Thomas wasn't it? A pink Bindit iirc.

Close shave that eh?

 

Club racing in the 'eighties there was a guy with a pink 500 Gamma,
pink leathers, helmet, boots and gloves, and three groupies in pink
jumpsuits. Don't remember his name but we called him Raymonde.
I thought it was a Swift suit so maybe Paul Varnsverry remembers
measuring his inside leg.

 

Nice diversionary tactic. Next up you'll be pointing at Molly's Pink
race bike. Then you'll be SOoL.
