Reversing sensors done old skool!

There was a time when I probably would have chased him down to have a word, but years of doing a reasonable amount of driving with work taught me that it rarely has the desired affect. These days I just notch it up as an indication that my riding skills haven't deteriorated to the point that I should find a safer hobby yet!

The Tiger 850 is a bit more road oriented? I'd be interested on @Sofia thoughts on it?

I never realised that you had so many near cleaning experiences, Pete! I think that you'd give the Missenden Flyer a run for his money, although he does have 2 buckets for washing his bikes, labelled shampoo and clean! So you've a way to go yet!

Nope, definitely a bloke. Probably been in the cafe knocking back the wine all lunchtime!

The bike nearly got dirty! Shock horror!

As I said in the reply to @Pedro, I was looking to change my line slightly to avoid some liquid dropped on the roundabout, so I didn't make the eye contact that I would normally. It's possible that the sun was behind me, but then he should have proceeded with more caution if he didn't have a good view. Anyway, I live to fight another day!

It was just reactions, I really didn't think much at the time. I'm always semi prepared, but in this instance there was some liquid dropped on the roundabout and I was looking to change my line slightly to avoid it and wasn't looking at him to get that eye contact that I would normally. He wasn't even looking in my direction when he went past, just staring straight ahead!

I have learned to be very cautious on roundabouts over here, but occasionally someone catches me out! Yeah, I had a few choice words for him!

Had a look on the dashcam in the car to see how close it was........hmmmm, pretty close!

Mandy had a Moderna booster yesterday and is feeling a bit shit today, so no getting out on the bikes for us I think.

You had one job..........!
