    Thank god for NASS!!

    Some fucking dumb cunt nearly took me out this morning. Swerving across a bus lane. I locked up the rear and skidded into the bus stop area. Redlined her as thats my only way of screaming and swearing at them.

    If it wasnt for NASS I wouldnt know how to have locked her up and stayed upright.

    It was a lock up and skid to the left into the stop then fishtailed and swerve round to the right to get around the SVU.

    I'm fucking LIVID and still shaking

    Yeah that is pretty scary. Hopefully the adrenalin will dissipate soon and calmness will return.

    I want to try and different kind of emergency braking next time. Rather than starting to brake at a line, I want everyone to choose their own starting braking point so they can bring their bike to a halt *at* a line (aka before an imaginary wall).

    Ah, those were the days. Standing in the rain as the wind howled through the car park. Wondering who will show? Who will have their mettle tested on this the most hospitable nights? Who is game for a slow race in a cross gale? Who will brave the hail to test their brakes?

    Probably too late - but a word from the wise - don't ride while angry and shaking - we as a species make bad calls when angry....

    pull over, breath, count to 5, take 5 - whatever, calm down first, then get back in the saddle

    I'm skipping tonight as I'm bikeless this week
    I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than for something I didn't do.

    Was a nice ride for the GSX650FU owners club - and we have discovered there is a fire at Bar Africa and it is amazing
