It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Yep. If they didn't keep building cars there would be less of them on the road.Wicky wrote:I blame the Frenchcar on wrong side of road
I also blame the Japanese, and the British.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Ita amazing that what you drive makes so much difference to the nob coming towards you. On a bike traffic coming towards you in anything apart from another bike wont pull over and will continue to make you swerve or stop or crash.
In my Van they assume as it may be a company vehicle they tend to shite themselves and pull over and allow you to pass if the restriction is on there side of the road. In a car it depends who has the best one. If you do the older one keeps coming and expects you to pull in.
I had a near punch up roadside last week with a nob on a phone whilst filtering. I got his phone and lobbed it!! haven't heard anything yet but iam expecting too shortly. No doubt cops wont be on my side!!!

Re: car on wrong side of road
My list so far is new forks so I might stick some cbr900 on same as my track bike. The seat cowl is scratched up and lugs broken. Left side fairing is a right of front fender right of indicators gone both sided
So new fairing found the abs in same colour for 300 quid
Found a cbr front complete so im not to far of
Just hope me necks fixed for snetterton and brands a few days after

That is one thing which has always concerned me, some idiot on my side of the road coming towards me that is. Glad you survived reasonably well, it could have been so different,
