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.
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...
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.?
Dashcams are on my shopping list for all 3 vehicles. It's trying to find something that records front and rear, as well as being discreet, and fur the car but have bloody wires everywhere.

Not today but on Day 3 on the circuit... I had to soak up it's leaking fluids.
Following an R1M whom's rod wanted to have a look around outside the engine, piece of engine hit my bike, one of which popped a hole in my radiator. Unfortunately there was no rad weld in any of the garages so instead I turned to pit bitch

Oh that’s a crap way to finish a track session. Luckily it didn’t hit you and you have a fancy new workshop to fix it in.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
It was frustrating for all of an hour until I realised it could have been a blessing in disguise. I didn't crash and I'd had an incredible time so I was a happy chappy to be going home in one piece
Could have been a lot worse, I’ve seen the result of a piece of bike being flicked up and hit someone at Snetterton years ago, he had a bruise the size of a grapefruit on his upper arm and couldn’t move it properly, if it had come through his visor I’m not sure he’d have got away without losing an eye. Scary.
All of what you're saying is exactly what I was thinking. It could have been significantly worse for both me and my bike. It put a small blip in my mood but I knew at the time that I'd get over it quickly enough...

Plus... my mate let me ride his BMW!
Fwiw that sounds like a positive result to me, as above pleased the flying debris didn't detract too much from the fun of the trip.
Lesson to us all perhaps.: Add some radiator putty repair to our trackday tool kits.?
Trying to work on my bike. Need to disconnect battery but my S4 red alarm keeps going off. Read instructions of how to put it into winter mode so I can disconnect battery but it doesn't work. Which means I'm screwed. Bloody thing.
To make matters worse I was at datatool on Tuesday. I could have bloody asked them to sort it out. Lol

Sorted. Went online and the instructions there say to make sure the kill switch is in engine run position. Lol. Whoops.
Would have helped to have that wrote in the manual user guide though
