For me its gotta be potholes especially when they turn up right in your line as youa re going round a bend ...
With decent observation and experienced anticipation the rest can either be avoided or very quickly overtaken

I voted for "other" as some of my pet hates were not on your list -
Diesel spills (especially in petrol stations),
fag ends out of car windows,
people closing up gaps deliberately when filtering,
Middle lane ownership society members on the Motorways/dual carriageways,
speed cameras,
hiding in hedges,
all the gear no idea riders who show no interest in improving the standard of the riding,
"militant" motorcycle protests (we're not hard-done-by as motorcylists really),
"reputable" garages insisting on over-tightening drive chains,
Main dealer labour charges being inversely proportional to the standard of their work,
Riders taking someone "bitch" in shorts and T shirt & ill fitting lid while they pilot the bike in their snug Arai, A* boots & one piece race suit
"surface dressing on roads"
I'm sure I'll think of some more _________________

Ahhh - Thx for that
In that case SMIDSY falls into the category of Decent observation & Anticipation and can easily be avoided.
Simple rule of thumb - "Everyone & everything else on the road is a collision waiting to be anticipated and avoided". (I avoided saying accident as there is ALWAYS someone at fault to some degree) _________________ Opinions are like assholes...... Ahhh Fcuk it - YOUR WRONG !!!

Yup, every "accident" I have ever had has been in some part my fault, or avoidable. This whole "blaming" others stuff neither fixes bikes or riders _________________

Just thinking....
(And sorry if this sounds like a rant)
Like Duncan there is one thing that annoys me that isn't on the list
RIDERS saying I didnt see / expect [insert name of what ever took them off the bike]
Dont matter who is in the right if you are in the hospital bed {or pine box}
Sorry also if this counts as spam _________________ Opinions are like assholes...... Ahhh Fcuk it - YOUR WRONG !!!

Motorcyclists thinking that how fast they can go is a measure of how good they are as a rider.
If that was correct, a 14 year old joyrider driving a stolen Nova around an estate at 90 mph must be a REALLY REALLY good driver. |
