    If you're stressing so bad that a hazard might in some way,shape,form,manner or act of God might infringe on your riding and stopping you actually, heaven forbid, ENJOYING the ride, then sir, I shall tell you whence to place your advice- in much the same manner you tell anyone who disagrees with you =)

    I do but perhaps he didn't realise that and was suggesting an alternative..?

    While I am unhappy to hear of the unfortunate accident.......total engagement in the task of riding is the only way.......unfortunatly the lack of spatial awarenes shown by the car driver is not uncommon and the head check of other road users remains one of the best weapons in the war against injury put upon us by others, if they look confused or lost they probably are, total awareness on our part is the least we should do.

    Very sorry to hear about the accident Terbang.
    With family on the pillion seat, we are always more cautious when riding. It certainly sounds like you were doing as much as humanly possible to avoid anything happening (apart from NOT going for a ride).

    Hope you both heal quickly.

    That sucks mate, really hope that you guys heal up ok and quickly. From the antics I have seen in the Howick, Beachlands, Whitford, Clevedon, Kaiuau region, it doesn't suprise me...driving is getting sillier every year. The fact that this woman was willing to do a runner on you is maddening, however not exactly surprising. Hopefully cops take her to court...there should be a serious charge for being in an accident where people are hurt and just scarpering.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    I've never trusted pack racks (Ventura or otherwise) for this very reason.

    They do cost more, but a top box is almost always a better option than a pack rack.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    Nah that doesnt work, what works tho is to kick off their tail light or mirror as you barely make your "emergency swerve" past them...they tend to remember that much more.

    How would you know they remember that much more?

    Do you do a follow up call to make sure they haven't forgotten?
