riding along minding me own buisness on me way to workon a duel carridge wayit's a 40 limit and im sticking to itcoming up on a round about with a little blue nova slightly in front of mehe's on the inside lane as if he's going to turn rightim on the outside to go straightas we slow for the round about i start to come along side the nova and he starts to drift over in to my laneim not to worried as by this stage as im now slightly in front and im sure he'll see me at any secondbut no he keeps on comingso i move over as far as i can and give a little squirt of the throttle, (this is happening as were entering the roundabout)so i cant give it loads but it was deffinatly to little too latecause this is when the twit hit mei thought at the time that the front bumper had hit the back of my boot knocking it off the peg and trapping it against the bike this bloke just kept coming though i still dont think he'd seen meas for a few seconds he didn't back offthe back of the bike is bouncing about like a good uneventually he wakes up and brakesi have no problem getting the bike back together under me
we pull over and im so mad that i don't even look at the bike just have a right go at this nob, explaining to him the sort of iq levels needed to be in charge of a motor vehicle, then stomp back to me bike and storm off in a hump.
upon a later examination he's accually hit me right at the back of the exhaust and carried on up to me bootnice scrape on the exhaust and also a dent on the lower pipe near where it joins the engine, i think this is where he trapped me foot
but all things being equel i think i had a lucky escape
