    No you get stuck because some idiot car driver doesn't know how to overtake and is now holding everyone else up.
    Let me guess, when you get to the cyclist you're there for 5 seconds then sail past with room to spare?
    Me too.

    My biggest bug is being passed too close by idiotic Sunday Johnnies riding too fast. Is dangerous to everyone and what for??? The extra 0.1 of a second it'll save you before having to slow for the next car. Really?
    Or the STRAIGHT LINE HERO's who clip your mirror passing you on a straight chin pressed to tank, flat stick only to anchor up and corner like a tot on stabilisers and hold you up at every fekkin bend !!! aaaaaaaah

    Might have to take you up on that offer. Only three T&T are the X7 which has motor in pieces waiting for rebuilt crank to come back, NC which has a rear tyre worn a little low (!?!) during my trip to Scotland last week (PR3 on order, great price btw from Oponeo) and the ever faithful Enfield which somehow picked up a puncture in the front on my way home night before last. At least it's prompted me to make this a 'sort the bikes out' weekend, weirdly I seem too busy riding during the Winter to fettle bikes, what the hell is that about?

    Chris, that's a real generous offer thanks but I should have the RE puncture fixed tmrw and really do need spend this weekend getting my bikes up together. MT03 is going for MOT next week and then putting it up for sale so need to drag that out and give it the once over.

    We should catch up, I've still got a paddock stand in it's box if you want it. I drove through Tidworth the other night and it reminded me but I haven't taken to carrying a paddock stand with me everywhere I go in case I route past your house ; )

    When a car that is behind a car waiting to turn right and they move over to the left knowing that they can't fit through the gap, but you could of.
