    Yesterday I was caught in slow moving traffic at the notorious Clock Garage Island in Woodville, South Derbyshire, when some dolt on a green Kawasaki Z1000, the 4 narrow exhaust pipe model, came rushing past, it was one of those times that makes you start.
    The rider had to then brake hard and started picking one vehicle off after another in quick spurts followed by heavy braking before clearing the island and rushing off at a rapid rate far in excess of the speed limit.
    So what, I can hear you thinking.
    Despite having no mirrors at no time did this moron bother to turn his or hers thick head to look behind them.
    It was an extremely dangerous situation that this rider failed to appreciate at all.
    Left me cold.

    All I can say Curly is I have lost count of the times I have watched other riders do stupid things and get away with it.
    It's only a matter of time before these mistakes catch up with them.
    I just make sure I don't make them ;)

    If you're the quickest thing on a particular road there's no need for no stinking mirrors, whats behind you is in the past and aint going to ruin your future. [humor off]

    Mine don't stink anymore, not since I fitted 2 pair of the square deals mirror extenders.
    Where can I get some wide vehicle markers?
