Motor bikes are MotorCylcles................. !
I can sympathise with you then.......... I had the same problem in the 60's on my Honda Scrambler.......
I kicked in a car door when this Woman was changing lanes with me right adjacent to her door!

I put my head into the side of a van a few years back now, that was interesting. He hadn't seen me apparently... :\

Every year I make an effort with my sister, who works full time as a teacher...and she doesn't even get me a card. Meh.
 
Two dizzy spells yesterday. One in the mordning, looked up and felt light-headed and dizzy, stumbled across the room and fell onto the bed. Felt fine the rest of the day until I laid down to go to sleep and the room started spinning, this lasted a couple minutes. Didn't even have any egg nog yesterday so I can rule that out. Did not sleep well all night. Hopefully it's just a symptom of a sinus infections?
 
I have this,but it is ok now. Just check it out Ménière's disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Couple of the symptoms match up, I've have a high piched ringing in my right ear for years, sometimes more noticeable than others. I attibute that to the chronic nasal/ear infections I've had over the years. This is the first major incidence of vertigo I've experienced. Had small cases when standing up quickly or bending over and getting a little off balance, but nothing too major. Will see how it goes the next couple days before planning a trip to the voodoo doctor.
 
Knowing that if I cut this piece of plastic the way I was cutting it,that I would cut myself. I did slice into my thumb,not as bad as it should have been,but my ca glue fixed it up just fine. What an idiot.
 
To answer all those that choose to ride a two wheeled device in this day and age;
I drove a vehicle that was darned near 70' long, (that is 21.336 meters), 13'6" high, (4.1148 meters high), and bright orange, (sorry there is no equivalent in metrics.).
And they still couldn't see me!
You pay your nickel and you take your chances.
It is just that simple.
It is your choice.
Quit yer' b!thcin!
(I know I said I would be nice through out the month of December, but I just couldn't help myself.)
I got the same problem with women that complain about leaving the seat up.
Here is how you stop that.
"So, you are admitting to me that Women aren't as smart as Men?"
She will, of course get indignant, where apon you blast her with,
"I'm smart enough to raise the seat before I go, aren't you smart enough to put it down before you do?"
Boom! Never had one give me trouble after that!

Re being seen. I once did an HGV course with a certain Fire Service. One of the chaps there used to be with, IIRC, Suffolk Fire Service. Their pumps were dayglo orange/red. One went out on a shout with full music and lights. Chap pulled out in front of them. When they got him out of the remains of his car he actually said 'Sorry mate. Didn't see you'.

Now I know why being preceded by a man with a red flag was once required.

On a motorcycle I had the same done to me on a wet road by a JCB (foreign johnnies can think tractor/digger thing) and I ended up dropping the bike and sliding underneath the thing between the front and rear wheels. Had he been in a car I would have gone into it.

Drive safely children.
 
This one might really hurt...Foot is acting up and has 3 days to get better(usually takes 5-6). If I don't show up for work on Jan. 01, I lose close to 3K$. Might have to see if I can borrow buddies spare size 11 boot to fit over my size 8 foot and get him to do my pre-trips for a few days.

Not bitching, it annoyed me, and I posted on the thread that it did I take my chances, and yes, having known a few lads who've died on bikes I fully understand the risk that I take doing so! I'll be sure to let everyone pulling out on me, cutting me up and sitting on my rear wheel know that I am not annoyed by their actions, because I know the risks...


That's brilliant! Going to remember that one for in the future
