Glyn,
Glad to hear you're in one piece, I'm sure you'll be keeping an eye out for the little **** in the future........ :flame:

Cheers, Martin

Glyn mate....

I'm really glad you're OK and that you are not too damaged. Glad the bike is still rideable as well, so we'll still be able to ride together soon....who would I have to take the P out of if you weren't about.

Tell you what, I've got a damaged RHS exhaust you can have so's you can have matching damage both sides if you want.

I have to say, i've kicked a few cars for the very same reason, and if i don't feel comfy about the car drivers ability, i stick behind them.

Often roundabouts the boot is required and the middle finger often displayed.

totaly agree andy
was being a little complacent as its a big roundabout (nationwide on moulton park)with quite a bit of room and was only doing very slow speed in.
the anoying thing is, as you say i could have quite easily gave the throttle a little squirt and been gone. but i had my town head on and was just bimbleing along.
think i've learnt a lesson from this as i thought that in my town riding i was quite safe. have to reasses that now!

i belive that you have to always look for the positive, so i didn't get knocked off, there's only minor damage to one exhaust and this experiance could save my life at a later stage.

Like your response Glyn, we know its probably the most difficult area to accept criticism in.

The response from you know who however, smacks of a lack of planning, and observation on his part! Add this then to blaming someone else for our short falls, and you get road rage!!

Yes other people are frustrating, but as this site is proof, we should try and accept others for how they are.

Wise words m8... especially " Never sit along side anything either "

Glad u is ok VIN....:D

mmm..boot the car..sure thats really gonna help the motorcycling fraternity, we already have a bad name as speed freaks and wreckless drivers /riders..i understand the frustration but booting the cars is not the best advise i have heard..refer to andyb's reply for sensible advise.

sure u may have helmet on and body armour on but this aint mad max .

Just my opinion.

do u think booting a car will get u respect..???

please keep it calm in here - like life there is always more than 1 way of achieving something.

andyb - big thank you for your words, - as soon as I read them I booked up my ART Off duty Police instructors) course that I was given as a freebie when I bought the numptystrada.

Glyn glad you are ok. This nearly happened to me last year on the 916, but this time it was renault espace with the kids bouncing off the chairs, - I was alongside him to go straight on, - and just had that feeling that he was going right from the left lane, - I stood the bike on its nose and sure enough he came accross the front of me. When I was 18 it did happen to me (although it was a U turn when I was alongside him, - he had indicated left pulled onto the pavement then swung accross). I got hit in the leg, kept the Rd250 up, but had a massive bruise, I stopped he denied it, saying he had n't touched me, - he was a taxi driver and having a mother in the legal profession we pursued it, - he settled out of court.

please.....i think im gonna get the bus now cos im frightened to go on the road in my car........if u cant over take properly and i have to make room for you then perhaps u need to get some instruction as opposed to blaming others for your poor riding...:P

just my opinion
