I had one of those as well yesterday, but my driver was waving one arm furiously as if I was doing something wrong/illegal/dangerous. The other arm was deliberately steering the car at me...Kwacky wrote:After having 3 attempts at my life last night within 10 minutes I decided to take the car into work today.
One bloke overtook a queue of stationary traffic and drove straight at me as I was filtering. I was on my side of the road. I stop and leaned to the left. How he missed me I I'll never know.
What did you do to your bike today ??

Enjoyable commute today, bit foggy this morning but nothing to bad. Quiet roads which makes all the difference.
Such a lovely evening on the way home I couldn't resist peeling off the A34 for a bit of country lane fun. The vfr is certainly in touch with the sports side of its sports/touring personality

Ride or stay home
They say
I've chosen the latter for too long
I'm here
I'm up
Knee sliders at the ready
What have the roads got install for us
Does this mean I'm out for a play
Yes it does
I'm out for the day
Approx 70 miles today. Just to Kwawaski Greenham in Newbury and back. Then finished off at a little cafe called Blackbushe Cafe and had a burger and chips. Amazing I felt great..I was grinning from ear to ear being out on the bike today. I love it

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode it. I've been away from home for 8 weeks so it was a welcome diversion after catching up with sleep and unpacking over the last couple of days. Its the only bike I've had that i feel instantly at home after a break from it.
Bimble round the lanes for an hour in the sunshine and some fresh fuel. Lovely.

Froze my balls off. It's looking like winter 3.0 is reloading.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Tried to fit my new bar end mirrors. The expander plug is 30 thou greater in diameter than the inside of the clip on. So now waiting on a adjustable reamer to turn up in the mail so I can fit them!
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Do either of you have any means to record your commute journeys.?
Strikes me (no pun intended) that if, God forbid, you're laid up in hospital due to the antics of those sorts of twunts, referring to your dashcam footage would be easier & less stressful than detailed explanations hindered by administered pain relief.?
