got to have good tyres that you can trust - our only two points of contact 🙂 -
It may be the angle of the camera...but is there any tread left on those tyres Alex?😂 -
This looks like bloody scrapnel, doubt this is repairable. Anyway happy Friday all!

I find myself thinking about this coming year with a certain amount of nervous dread I regret to say which can't be a good thing. Where I live it is getting busy, more traffic, house building and rush - you can get round it with planning routes and times, that is the new way to go it seems.

The Tunderace was meant to be with mechanic Simon at Milton Common motorcycles, about 10 miles east of Oxford UK today but it turned out that his place was shut and according to a note on the door and a conversation with a relatively nearby shop/cafe owner he has been off ill since late November. Later, I found out that he had a heart attack, presumably recovering at present. Arranged to take the bike to another place and booked it in for about a month from now.
-
lower fairings off pending a visit to a local bike mechanic (panels off saves his time) for a bit of checking and refurbishing, temp bodged some indicators on the front top fairing to ride it over to the mechanics place, hopefully it will be good for 2026 thereafter. Main worries are a noise which is likely a worn EXUP valve, I'd like another opinion and a check on the tensioner for the cam chain if necessary. Other thing is a tendency to back fire when restarted, it lifted the carbs off their seating on one occasion. Perhaps carburettor balancing will resolve that, I hope so.

You could always say you deliberately dropped to the left side in case the car behind you didn't stop in time! 😉
-
runs quicker now, thanks Alex

i think you focused on the immediate area as you were moving over. failed to look as far as possible and adjust your speed due to the above. use IPSGA information then position then speed, gear and acceleration.
-
After rewatching it, I failed to notice the BMW brake lights flashing as it started an emergency stop and also it's hazard lights. I guess the other issue is pupil dilation and from the light going bright dark bright dark.
-
So far looking good, fingers crossed this is the problem solved, looks this way from the data, but please let me know if you notice any issues.
-
thank you for sorting it out - hopefully things will be OK
-
unexpected backing up on exits happens here in the uk too now, part of the incident may be down to constrained vision available due to the concrete and tunnel effects but you'll be aware next time. we all get caught out occasionally so bad luck covers it i suppose although having had that happen it sharpens the old sixth sense so not all bad and no contact is something to be grateful for. hope you have a good Christmas and new year.

Well had a close call on the way to work. To be completely honest here I'm 50:50 whether this was my mistake or just bad luck. I always keep to the left on this particular exit as the road merges ahead and it gives me the space to run off to the left if anything like the video were to happen. Don't want to say more than above, will let you guys critique.
