    Grateful for the oncoming 40 tonne lorry that pulled into my lane to overtake someone? grateful for the slippery diesel on the road? grateful for locking the rear tyre at over 40mph?

    not really, i am grateful i can sit here and type this.......
    i have seen some sights in my young life but today right now i am absolutley terrified. i'm not scared of death nor injury but scared i may not have seen my wife and son again....

    Ride safe people.
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    you could say that Jon, its bad enough when they pull out to overtake and going the same way as you, but when its barrelling towards you its not good and sideways on the bike wasn't exactly fun either
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    So glad you are OK you've certainly got to do all you can to make sure people see you especially on a grotty day like this. Go careful.

    Great to hear you are ok. Sounds like you had good control of the situation. Well done. Chalk it all down to experience.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Riding in this weather is ****, do you not have a car option, or slum it with the prolls on the bus/train?
