Well almost, I went for a ride out to Piha today 23/4 twas a fabulous day for it and was really feeling good about the pace I was setting even on the cruiser. Comming into a nice little righthander ,looking through the corner as u do I noticed a white corolla( or what looked like a corolla) that just did not seem to be taking the right line. Glancing at the driver I noticed that she was jabbering away to her female passenger.
Fooking female drivers ! :shake: :shake:
Apologies 2 those that can do more than one thing at a time :cool:
Thats when I saw she was just crossing the centre line right where I was gonna apex the corner :brick: , having committed myself I suddenly found myself having to lift the bike out of the lean and try apply brakes as i was also trying to veer left. I really thought this is it mate you're done for. Luckily for me the passenger looked up and leant over and wrenched the cars steering wheel, I skimmed past the front RH corner of her car and judjed it to be about 2 or 3 inches clearance.
I was so shaken and :angry2: that I just carried on going, I hope you swerved right off the road u @#%&*@# B@#$h
Be careful out there guys!

Yeah right I'd love to get a fast one but my back needs to have more healing time me thinks!
You trying to say I would have been around the corner before she got there ?

CBR 600's are way cool but will probably go for a Supermotard when I can afford one. :done:

And you didn't turn around to discuss her lack of driving skills? Perhaps striking the fear of God into her would make her concentrate a bit more in future.

No mate, the way I was feeling I probably wouldn't have been speaking very coherently anyways.

Yeah, I recognise that feeling too. When relief overrides anger.
