What should I do?

I should probably start catching the bus, but they don't seem to know what they're doing either apparently.

You're not wrong, I probably should. Almost hit a motorcyclist this morning in my car, pulled out in front of him, my fault, poor visibility this morning (which is still my fault, I un-fogged my windshield but didn't do the back one properly so didn't see him when I looked over my shoulder, or in my side mirror either). I felt so bad, he had to take "evasive" action to avoid me! When we stopped at the lights I ran out and apologised, then I dropped my wallet on the road and lost it haha. I'd say that's karma, but I don't believe in that (got it back now though!).

Hahahahahahahaha

As funny as your driving is.... in all seriousness it sounds as if the only reason you haven't injured or killed someone is luck. If one day you do hit someone would you be able to live with yourself knowing that you chose to not practice, think about and focus on your driving. Only you can improve your driving.

Lucky for you though, for some reason the government thinks it's not too bad to murder someone if you use a car as a weapon.

Buy a small hatch back with good visibility all round. Do an advanced driving course, defensive driving certificate and don't drive on auto pilot.

There is no such thing as luck. I was joking, I'm actually not that bad a driver and have a very much clean license, no accident's, no insurance claims. I always check my side mirror, indicate then look over my shoulder (in that order) before I change lanes etc. In this instance at 6:30 in the morning, I had neglected to clear off my back window/side mirror for better visibility. I can't recall off the top of my head if / when I have ever before had such a close call. So, no need to panic / worry about my driving, I'm not as terrible as I made out.

Anyway, ironically the person who picked up my wallet was another motorcyclist

OK then, believe in cause and effect. Either way....

DRZ400SM has 17s front and back. Reckon a 19 on the front is 40% bigger in rolling radius, (if it has it)?

I'd work it out, but I'm fucked if I know what size tyre goes on the 19.

but the speed is correct so it cant be the wheel size or both would be out

GPS time..... but thats just another cost

Nah, Bicycle computer. Mine is the same as GPS up to 199kph. Guess they didnt think a bicycle would go that fast.

I love the gps for road trips .... less missed intersections... fuel warning etc but not cheap for a waterproof bike one, cycle computer is cheaper
