Lessons to be learned - timely reminder.
#4
We get pretty used to the power the Bus makes, I came as near as get the f*** out a couple of days ago, left me pretty shaken, it just happened so quickly, I was coming out of the big roundabout outside Russell Offices, with an XR8 with all the gear on my right in the roundabout, he started getting into it, spinning back tyres and and coming into my lane.  I think he was just showing off. Lots of juice in the Ford, no doubt. I have this Motherfucker sliding towards me, I powered on pretty agressively to get out of his way, and just get the f*** away from him, slipped her into 3rd then 4th, showed him a clean pair of heels, me now heading around 200kys or a bit more I suppose, clear right lane approaching the bridge, two cars in the left lane, when cunthooks in the 4 x wheel drive (the back car of the 2 in the left lane) just side stepped into the right lane and right into my path.  They are doing 60-80 odd. All I could see was the back of this white f*&^ing 4 x wheel drive getting very close very quickly. "Oh f*** this is it!!" Ray - those Brake Techs paid for themselves there and then. Had the front tyre chirping at me, the back wheel all loose on the road, I was f****d I thought.  Our speeds equaled with my front wheel less than 2 metres between us. I was then able to flick the bike between cunthooks and the car to his left. It just happens that fast.  Poor riding on my part to have had over 200kph in an 80 zone with 2 cars in front of me, no excuse. Needless to say my girl gave me a serve when I told her that night. I deserved it. Long time since I came that close to my maker.  Glad to still be here.
