Ooooh I reckon you two should take this outside *I put my money on mac, he has the longer reach* *jokes*...i learnt that when following ehab it's a six second rule..haha just kidding mate. So after having a calm down whats the damage?

[shafty]

It can happen just as easy if you are checking to the left or right before passing - ie its impossible to NOT take your eyes off your direction of travel sometimes, ------ I would suggest following distances are more the solution....

I think it is time to get everyone booked into RRRS.

Stephen has booked us a club day for may (earliest available) but some will be able to attend the usual dates before then (smaller groups at each month's session as there'll be far too many for just the one date)

I did this course around August last year and can highly recommend it. The skills have saved me from coming off several times since.

bikes can be fixed, good to hear your not hurt

I've always looked at it from the opposite, tight budget point of view. Humans repair themselves for free, bikes don't


But ofcourse it's good to hear you didn't sustain any injuries none-the-less.

Could say "Gotta watch those brakes next time" but odds are you've already picked that up, and odds are you're still gonna do it once or twice more anyway.

Hope you're back on the saddle soon.

The dont target fixate and grab a handful lesson? or the not riding to the conditions (stopping distance etc)


Bring your bike by my shed, i want to see if certain parts are as neglected as i suspect

Sorry to hear about your prang.
I can sympathize with you, been there & done that before.
I've learn't that it only takes a split second with your eyes off the road and something like that happens.

That's probably the single most useful advice that has come outta Squiggles.

I can vouch for that.

I am not a heartless bugger, so yeah I am glad he is OK. In terms of lessons, I believe riding skills can be learnt but a reckless attitude is another thing...

[motorbyclist]

huh?
its not the looking at the chick on the side of the road that got ya though its just grabbing too much brake...


lesson should be how to brake

exactly what i was thinking
