Glad to read you are OK and the BUS as well of course. Frickin taxi drivers ! I've had a couple of close calls but not like your situation. They don't give a rats about anything else but the money that they're putting in their pocket.
good to hear your alright and the busa survived unscaved.
Sounds like your reflexes are still there too. New Page 1RegardGrantKing of Stealth Blingwww.blingpartsaustralia.com.au

someone could've got it on tape seriously though, glad the beast is ok and that you seem to have pulled up alright too.
Taxis suck Rod. Glad you're okay.

Maybe we need kawa and max to exterminate them. (taxi drivers)
Hmmmm what happened to the mini me with gun icon?????

Rod,
Having gone down on my pushbike in pretty much the same area, I can relate to your need to geet up and go as quick as possible!
Really glad that you are OK and that the Busa suffered little damage...
Time to find a good masseur to get rid of the aches and pains. Maybe some club membres can suggest a few places?
As for taxi drivers, the reason they piss of so fast is coz they don't have a licence or visa, and can't afford to get caught and end up being sent back to India/Pakistan!
Best way to piss them off is to phone and book a few to turn up at the furthest distance from the city/airport/station/etc... with no one there to greet them (but use a telephone box, as they can trace the call)
