    Did you notice the closeness of the car ...TWO cars in front of the bike. If IT brakes ... things turn to shit real quickly ...

    And the biker can't see it, or it's brake lights ... so has no idea what it's doing.

    I think that a defensive riding course may be needed...? And possibly defensive driving for the car infront also...

    Perhaps she took the rode code too literally and applied it to everything?

    "It is essential to keep left, because if you don't you are likely to cause a head-on crash. This is one of the worst types of crash, as it almost always results in death or severe injury."

    I wouldn't follow this vehicle at all. Too hard to see what happening in front of it even if you are hanging back. I'd just go around and find my own bit of road to ride in.

    Why the bike is there in the first place has to be questioned?....the outside lane seems to be the better place to be.

It's a sad state of affairs if I was sitting behind it held up in my dirty 1996 diesel Prado. If you're a KB-er...heads up, you might want to work on corner lines a little bit. That shit will see you crashing.
    Short list of bikes came out with four pipes. Only two Hondas that I can think of, 'CB fours' as it turns out.

    However, are you sure it wasa Honda? Because I can think of a couple two strokes that run four pipes, and having ridden some of those mongrels, they tend to change line of their own free fuckin will, no moatter what you do with the bars! Can't wait to find a semi complete GT750 water bottle to buy!

    Honestly that crossed my mind while following, she was that close. That lane was tooling along at about 90-95. I was in it because I had my wife, kids, and associated luggage in the car and my gsx-r on a trailer behind me.

    Your Iphones do have a digital zoom. Not ideal but would help in this case.

    As for the photo, shes clearly not close enough!

    No point in getting a minter. It'll be getting decent suspension and wheels, and a set of chambers and flat slide carbs.

    Losing any real value it might or might not have.
