On way to work this morning, came off motorway at Southampton airport turning left down the dual carriageway towards Southampton, VW Polo in left hand lane signalling left, all stop for lights at the bottom, lights go green i set off going slightly faster than the polo but in same directio ie left, then the dizzie woman decides to pull right to go straight across the roundabout without indicating, she caught my left hand side exhaust and i felt the bike go, whilst looking in my mirror at what she was doing so applied a little power out of the skid and hey presto im out of danger, pulled over got of bike and thanked the good lord upstairs. Car driver behind polo stopped to make sure is was ok, dizzie bloody women never stopped.
Time to thank my lucky stars for today.

Re: Nearly
Been running Carbon Can Co cans for four years now, only had them rebuilt once.
Mind you, there's not much in the way of baffle to hold the pressure back....
And you can decoke them with a broom handle, if you can get a 50mm one
