SMIDSY: not even on the bike

Arrived at my West End destination this morning. Parked up in a m/c bay, and
was just about to put the disk lock on the bike when whack. A small lorry
came around the corner and tapped me on the shoulder with its mirror. The
guy pulled over further up, and at first I thought he was going to lamp me for
daring to stand slightly in HIS road. But no. Word for word, "SMIDSY".

To be fair, he asked if I was okay etc, ironically as he hadn't been looking
he might have thought I was hurt. I was late and couldn't be bothered to get
into the details about why, like so many cunts driving four wheels, he thinks
that it's okay to drive about without looking.

HG leathers and waterproofs unscathed.

 

I was in lane three of the M40 a few months ago when a car started to
squeeze past me in the same lane. I couldn't move into lane two because it
was full of vehicles doing 80-90mph and by the time I'd realised what he was
trying to do his wing mirror had brushed my elbow.

Wish I'd had a helmet camera on that occasion! Talking of which... oh, I
suppose I'd better start another thread...

 

That happened to me once. I got out of the way sharpish and fucked off
up the road - the bloke was obviously not all there.
