Always good to share these close calls and what ifs. Every time I feel I could have done better in a situation i have a quick think on what I would do differently next time.
When I was first starting out few years back had the car in front of me turning left, there was a car from that road wanting to turn right across my path. Needless to say due to my inexperience my positioning was so that the car turning right couldn't see me behind the car turning left. The car turning right pulls out, luckily I managed to brake and stop about 30cm from his drivers door. The look on the drivers face was "Holy shit where did you come from!" Very valuable lesson learnt that day. I was paying attention so was able to stop in time. But had I been in a better position to start with the whole situation could of been avoided. I only imagine what the outcome would of been if I wasn't alert.
Learning everyday....
Isn't this a 'big pat on the back' circle.
The OP had a spastic moment. End of story.
The US Hurt report found that 50% of all bike accidents were within a few miles of the riders home. Everytime I'm tempted to go for it on the miniature Eau Rouge at the bottom of our street, I remember this stat and back off.
Another 25% occurred after 10 PM on Saturday nights.

double disc front brakes should be a lot more effective at stopping you, I think you'd notice a difference between something like a Hyongsungbung 250RRR and something fitted with a premium brand dual front disc brakes.
In other words, you might be compensating for strong brakes on bikes with strong brakes, but that may not be sufficient braking on bikes with weaker braking. So therefore the reverse could be true for someone coming from a bike with weaker brakes.
Dual disks make fuck all difference untill temperature becomes a contributing factor.
Would you lot please fuck up about shit you no nothing of.
