allways remember to check your mirrors before an overtake

saturday went out for a ride with some mates, on top of the south downs about to overtake. check the mirror before the lifesaver. you can imagine my surprise when i saw an FJR comming past me full panniers top box. nothing surprising there, except only one wheel was on the ground the front wheel was 5 foot in the air.

i let him go and followed him up the hill and as he was banked over there started to be steps in the hill. next this fjr was banked over hard in mid air

i let him go again

Minor correction:

Not being in control kills. You don't have to be exceeding a speed limit!!!!

Well said SS, and not forgetting that as YOU overtake, there is a fair chance that others will not use their mirrors before attempting to wipe you out.

Admire your sense at letting the nutter go, and staying within your own limits at a pace that's conducive to further existence. angel
