Do not put yourself up on offer. If that means staying behind the hazard whatever form its in, then so be it.
Never sit along side anything either, you have no escape, and if your going to pass do it when you can clear off into the distance.

As annoying as it is, you have to be in charge, so the nerd doesnt get an opportunity to do your legs.

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.
