Stue11 0 Posted July 16, 2013 As we were dropping Mike of for his motorway trip home, we went around the roundabout heading north obviously for Mike to head north and me and me other mates to go around the roundabout and head south... we were all in the correct lanes and i was about to lean me bike over and go round but in the corner of me eye i see a blue volvo come up beside me and at the last minute he decided he wanted to head south and cut straight in front of me path...i couldnt have fitted a fag paper between my front wheel and his car...and guess what he didnt even see me i know we aint suppose to touch a front brake once leant over but i had no choice...me front end went and mine and wifeys legs both come off the pegs but i managed to save her i was in that much shock that i couldnt even be angry....nuff said at best we were allright and live for another day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Strange it was a Volvo as it seems all the biker jokes years ago were about Volvo drivers. Even MCN had a cartoon about the driver from the planet OVLOVGlad you are both ok!

BanditMike 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Glad you and Kays are ok mate. Sounds like the "typical" situation of him asking where did you come from? We were here all the time "idiot" open your f g eyes!!As has been said, we ride fine it's the others you can't account for I do over 500m in the weekend and don't really get any problems. You have a quick bimble on a Sunday morning and nearly get cleaned out Glad you're both OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
