bearing in mind ive only been riding for a few weeks and the zxr is my first bike.
sunday night, down a country lane the temp must of been freezing? and the roads were very icy..a car ahead of me which i kept there for a while. i saw a car approaching from a side entrance maybe a house, the car infront passed him so i kept going, i saw the car edge out and thought maybe there just having a nosey to see whats coming... the car kept pulling out witout looking once my way of the road. i gave the front brake some force and slowed from about 45-20 and he still didnt see me.. so i edged the brakes on abit more and the front started to slide out.. i manged to get control of the front, i must have stoped about half a foot from this car . the old boy just sat there and looked at me like it was my fault! he was pretty old and my nuts were in so much pain i couldnt say anythnig... i got away this time! scary first experience of a tosser on the road!
