It's not dead, it's taking a little nap

You're right, I hadn't got to his post.

Fortunately for Dan, Nivvo stepped in.

 

The important thing

Is crash testing part of your contract?

 

<snip>

Erk. Well, damage to you zero. **** has damaged jeep. I'd report it as a
"failing to stop" anyway, if I were you.

 

Well since I binned last Monday, Niv's was the 3rd and Lozzo has
started a new set.

 

<suitably chastened>

 

Knowledge gleaned from testing of other products indicates it will be
the knitted versions which will provide better abrasion and cut
resistance than the woven type, but the latter will exhibit superior
tensile strength. For the highest level of protection, one should
therefore wear both types of socks simultaneously. As for Teflon, this
will indeed reduce shear force interception and consequent "lining
burns", particularly when only the outer surface is treated.

 

Agree. Lozzo's got to, otherwise he's commiting the failure to report
offence. If the Jeep driver sees the incident differently to Lozzo he
might have already been to plod which would leave Lozzo in the shit for
the failure to report.

 

That'll be why I somehow managed to stay on the Tiger this evening when
the back end went walkies on Fish Hill. Thank you Statto, Lozzo & Nivo.

I overtook[1] Ginge going up Fish Hill, him on his new to him ZRX1200,
me on the old fucked CB250RS that was about to expire. He's got a bit
quicker snce then.

{1] Read as "left for dead"

 

It's the first place I GMKD on the road (rather than a track). It was
particularly satisfying as I was going around the outside of a 911
Turbo at the time, having played cat & mouse with him all the way from
Redditch. This continued on to Lechlade, where we both stopped for a
breather & had a chat. Jolly nice bloke.

Fish Hill rocks mightily.

I need some too. I have these very thin grey socks from M&S that I
really like, now with added holes. *sniffle* I can't get them here.

My first KD experience was right outside the old dole office on the
Goldington gyratory system in Bedford. I was on a borrowed Kawasaki
AR125 at the time and some of my mates were queing to sign on. I didn't
have knee sliders either, and it burnt. I managed to get the pegs down
on a Kawasaki KE175 D2 and a Honda XL125 round there too, on knobblies.

It certainly does, can't fucking remember how to get there though, cos
Champ led us out there from Stratford one Sunday, and Tuppy showed me
the way home. I know it's out that way somewhere <points out of window>.

M&S socks are surely available mail order.

Good plan, I'll sort that tomorrow. It never even crossed my mind at the
time.

 

Whilst I take your erudite point on the weave vs knit question, the
Teflon properties of M+S skiddies not only allow greater length of
slide without burning your botty, but are a damn sight easier to clean
afterwards. IYSWIM.

 

I've looked through the website but can't find the ones I want.

 

Have you been creeping around anymore houses? I had to move the car in
the middle of the drive to stop you from driving in it(to peep at me).

pedo.

 

Glad to hear you're ok Loz.

Perhaps I'm just a bit naive but I just don't understand why some car
drivers get so wound up by the fact that bikers can get to work quicker
that they can. For goodness sakes if they would travel by car then
they have to accept the consequences of traffic - just like everyone
else!

It's not that this sort of thing is new to me. I've had several
similar incidents when filtering when cagers have swerved in an attempt
to have me off the bike, usually whilst I'm in the motorcycle lane
between my side of the road and oncoming traffic.

It just always suprises me that someone would go to these lengths to
makes themsleves feel better about being stuck in traffic.

Have you reported it yet?
