Fair play to you Zhed...

We all make mistakes from time to time, most of us get away with them nearly all the time, but the person on here who has never, ever, ever had a close scrape due to lack of their own judgement almost certainly doesn't exist.

Never gone in to a bend to hot? Never had to cram the brakes on as you've realised a little too late that the car in front has stopped suddenly? Never misjudged an overtake and been a bit too close for comfort?

Perhaps we'll here the pious amongst us start to chant "One must always ride at a speed that's consistent with the road conditions at the time, one must never break the speed limit, we must obey, we must obey"

None of us set out on a journey with the prime intent of taking undue risks or ****ing off other road users and I'm sure most of us try to ride defensively and not get into any undue scrapes, but for goodness sake every few thousand miles you may do something daft that makes you stop and think "shouldn't have done that".

Seems to me that Zhed has just got the guts to admit it on a public forum, which is fine by me if it makes me stop and think "would I do that?" from the safety of my office, before I even get on the bike.
