My last ride ended in a head-on with a car coming the other way overtaking without seeing me.
Touch wood I've only had a couple of small offs, but often I get chatting to someone who has a similar story. It always helps to be reminded what can happen and to slow down.
Been thinking about an RSV4 RF or 1198s as a next bike and my head says Aprilia but my heart says Ducati.
I have a friend who's been storing his Panigale with me for the last year, and has just added this. The 749 hasn't been registered in the UK yet. He's very trusting - I have the keys and alarm/immobiliser fobs in the house and an invitation to help myself, but I haven't. My last ride ended in a head-on with a car coming the other way overtaking without seeing me. It wasn't my first accident, but the only one when I genuinely thought I was going to die.
