Crediton do you ever have one of them days when the roads full of ass holes if not then you want to come an try a trip round my little town. funny thing when I'm driving my Transit van i dont bump into them yet on the Bike it's like I've got Harry potte's invisibilty cloak on. i wanted to ride the bike right over the top of the TT an just say sorry mate i did not see you it's getting harder an harder to keep my cool as this kind of thing happens 2 or 3 times a week when out on the bike
I have often said that if people had to ride a motorcycle for at least a couple months (prefer a year) before they could get behind the wheel of a car/truck/bus then they would have more respect for bikers. I don't ride my TTR on the street here because it doesn't have enough power to get out of the way when the need to ride offensively will save you from getting into trouble. Faster/louder bikes have a better chance than a small bike like our TTR.
