Head-on

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 !

Apologies 2 those that can do more than one thing at a time

Thats when I saw she was just crossing the centre line right where I was gonna apex the corner

, 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

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.

Jeezus, saved by the passenger eh?

They must've had pretty quick reactions.

Good to hear you're ok.

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.
Was only too happy to be able to

merrily on my way
