Sounds scary... and you tried to sell me that bike?!?! Ha! (I would have loved it)
@Jung that’s what I’m learning. Twice or more on Friday and once yesterday, all saved by just accelerating out of the trouble.
I’m not keen on relying on luck instead of skill, but the line blurs pretty quickly on these things.

Well done surviving. During my riding career I've found the real accidents always come along when you least expect them and hurt enough to remember. Every mile is one mile nearer to the next big one.
I remember mile after mile of country bypasses at 110 in the rain and mist with very poor visibility and then one night I'm met by a dog loose on the M4 running towards me and moving across the lanes. I had to pick a lane and stick with it. 100m down the road there were 2 policemen in the carriageway that I just happened not to be in. I used to get off the TZR shaking sometimes :)
