Road rage incident

Seen this afternoon. It was on the opposite carriageway but a 4x4 was stopped at the traffic lights with some neanderthal trying very hard to wrench the door open abd assault the driver.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Took off all the road grime, cleaned up the chain, sprayed the breaks up and sprayed it with WD40 just to protect it a bit. Also played around with the tyre pressures a tad as they were over in flated! Must admit it looks fabulous now. Also booked a MOT too for later in the week

Re: Lucky escape

It's such an easyistake to make when driving on the other side of the road. I nearly made the mistake when turning left at a junction in Belgium last year. Your brain is so programmed to only look one way and to change that you have to slow your processing ...

Re: Perks zx10r review

It will be that most likely then.

For some reason they have a little welded tap you need to tap of with a little chisel.

Re: Lucky escape

Blimming he'll that does look like a mess. Isn't this dangerous or careless driving though Kwacky? Paying no attention to the road? Surely there's some sort of act here for police matters instead of "oh whoops I forgot !!" Lol

Wow, what a mess, that guy was real lucky. That's why so many Germans have been killed over the years at the TT, in a moment of excitement they have forgotten which side of the road they should be on !

I get annoyed myself at times if I'm stuck behind a 40MPH hero, those dickheads that do 40 regardless of the speed limit on the road they are on, be it 30/50/60mph limit roads they always do 40. I fricking hate those guys. I think I went off topic a long time ago so. Isn't that the Tankslap ...
