I use to have a bike, had a bandit 600 than a gsxr 600, spent more time worryin about what car drivers where gonna do than i did enjoyin it, roads are just too busy for bikes today!
 I came of and under a lorry who made eye contact with me at a round-aout but thought he'd pull out any way!
Saw a bike crash today on the old A1 near sawtry, never again for me thanks!!!!

I admit I do indicate all the time. Its automatic more than anything else. Even if I am passing a parked car and I am the only one on the road at the time.
I've got a better question though:-
HOW MANY OF YOU DRIVE IN THE CENTRE LANE OF A THREE LANE MOTORWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO USE YOUR INDICATORS TO MOVE OVER TO THE LEFT LANE?
If there is one thing that grips my sh1t its drivers that stick to the centre lane and they are driving a car that can just reach 70.

I try to indicate all the time. If I am passing a tractor and I'm doing 70 at the time usually don't bother much as the tractor knows it's going to get passed and by the time i signal one way i would be signalling the other. I find I don't do alot of overtaking unless someone is really driving alot slower than me though. Or I happen to be in a bad mood and I'm out for a rag. Then i signal though. :)


Knite don't do the leathers pic. my mate just dropped his 'blade around mine for a week and i pulled out my leathers for a blast yesterday. wasn't a pretty sight. lol. course my leathers have a bit o' road rash from the previous bike. :)
