I quite often beat myself up over things that dont matter but today I feel it appropriate. After I finished work I hopped on my bike as normal but today I get this funny litltle sick feeling in my stomach and I think maybe I should ride home the "long" way tonight, the weathers gross and its pretty yucky on the roads. But I ignore this and continue over Aro hill (Raroa Rd) as normal. I take corners to the left of the lane on this road as cars are always crossing the centre lane. As I am going around a left hand corner a 4WD is coming the other way but he's coming right at me! So I tried to push the bike to the left some more while putting in the front brake. I managed to move a wee bit but the 4WD still hit my right mirror, luckily it was only duct taped on anyway cause it went flying. I hit the brakes a bit more, more out of panic cause it made quite a bang. Unfortunatley I hit a soaking wet tar snake and a whole lot or dirt so the bike just slides away from underneath me as I go flying one way and the bike towars the curb. Luckily there was a big pile of mud and dirt etc to stop my bike. I got up and the driver hadnt even stopped. I dont think that they even saw me. Anyway I was sweet and the bikes just has slightly more character now. So thats sweet. My bloody knee which is still fucked form my accidents last year is hurting a bit more than is comfortable but its sweet. I got it home fine, just seems to sit a t 5-6 revs which makes it a bit embarrasing. I checked it over and dont worry Jim the indicators are sweet. If anyone wants to bring me beer, feel free!
