Bateleur1 Posted February 9, 2007 Share I almost became a statistic yesterday. I have close calls on a regular basis but yesterday really gave me the jitters. Went down Voortrekker road at about 55 km/h. Some black dude came changing 3 lanes and right in front of me slammed breaks to turn right. Just as I passed him on his left, I white lady came from the left in that crossing street shooting over all four lanes of Voortrekker at high speed and missed me by a couple of sentimeters (while looking straight at me). Needless to say I have a few bite marks in my shorts after that. Glad to be here in one piece still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 9, 2007 Share 55km/h,,, Was jy laat vir 'n meeting? Om daardie spoed in traffic te ry is nie baie slim. Nice om te hoor jy is ok, maar maybe moet jy leer hieruit. Teen 55km/h in traffic het jy nie veel kans om iets te doen as iets gebeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Mmmm ... Popeye, weet nie of ek kan saam stem daarmee nie. Ek dink weer om so veel as moontlik by karre se spoed te bly het my kanse tot oorlewing bietjie verbeter. Ja jy kry baie ouens wat hulle totaal misgis met jou spoed wat jy as fiets ryer doen, maar in die meeste gevalle gee dit karre (wat in dieselfde rigting as jy beweeg) meer kans om te reageer op jou "teenwoordigheid". Op die ou end is dit dalk 6 van die een en half dosyn van die ander. Spoed in die spesifieke geval sou nie n verskil gemaak het nie. Wat my uitfreek is dat ek nie die een "ge anticipate" het nie. Die eerste motor het ek, maar dit het my aandag afgetrek om veilig om hom te beweeg, dus het ek nie regtig kans gehad om die tweede een te kon "lees nie.

MWdeJager Posted February 9, 2007 Share Stem saam met Bataleur. As jy dieselfde spoed as die karre ry, kan jy makliker wegkom daarmee as jy 'n kar se spasie opneem in die middel van jou baan ook. Gister met die motorfiets amper 'n 4x4 se deur af gery toe hulle soos 'n taxi passasiers by 'n robot in die middel van die pad aflaai. Sal my leer om so tussen stilstaande karre deur te vleg. Ek dink die kind en die driver het albei groter as ek geskrik toe ek teen die deur tot stilstand kom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 9, 2007 Share Bataleur, dis moeilik, maar dammit 55km/h is vinnig om te re-act met 'n fiets. veral omdat die ding net 2 wiele het. Ja, dis beter om saam met die karre en hul spoed te ry, maar die problem is.. Wat kan jy op daai spoed doen as daar iets gebeur.? net bly om te hoor jy is ok, (Moet nou net nie daai broek oor die Myg en Bean se reling laat hang) asb. Dis mos wat die kapenaars doen as hulle GT Stripes ge-create het Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
