I started the thread below a few weeks ago and the various incidents that had occurred had seemed funny but todays has realy pcensoredd me off. I am in Germany and some twonk has just pushed me into the kirb while trying to take a photo.
Ripped my front tyre and damaged the rim on my, previously perfect SP12 alloy.
Now waiting for the ADAC and will have to source a new tyre tommorrow.

He just drifted towards me while trying to take a photo.
I just ran out of room. I braked to try and drop behind him but still hit the kirb. Its my own fault that I hit the krb but it was that or let him hit the side of my car. furious

I had a similar experience about 4 years ago in my Chimaera but slammed my brakes on and dropped back.

Some road rage tt cut in on me and tried to push me into the weeds.

It must be instinct to try to avoid contact.

I've got Goodyear Eagle F1's on so I guess I will need to buy two of the new asymetric and change both fronts as per that recent thread.

Wonder if I can find one symetric in Germany ?
And I guess I should get my geometry checked as well.

Dear Wife, please send me some more money.
