Bit of a lairy ride in this morning, 2 inches behind dozy micra drivers, 1 inch alongside those bloody huge 4*4 mirrors, riding a bit mentally .... you know how it goes...

Saw the Think Bike sign, I always thought those were for the car.....

Calmed me down anyway

Indeed. Me too. Been there, done that. You think to yourself "I was in full control" etc etc but basically it can be summed up by ARSE.

(Aggressive Ridng Spoils Enjoyment)

Reckon I should copyright that and make my fortune.

Glad you saw sense Owen, that way you can enjoy tomorrow as well.

All the best

We've all done it, but well done for resisting the urge to be a prat. That sort of thing is reserved for scooter riders in beach shorts and flip-flops. The xjr rider is a more refined animal...

Perhaps Greg can upgrade your status from "newbie" to "saint"? Or you can just buy a yellow helmet...
