Just for the avoidance of any doubt about riding without protective kit on.....
Yesterday morning I was travelling in lane one (the one next to the hard shoulder) west along the M27 in my car.
A car travelling in the opposite direction hit the armco barrier central reservation and we were showered with the flying debris.
The car looks like its just come from a battle zone but most worryingly we now have what looks like three bullet holes in the rear panel...........
If I had been on the bike then I'm pretty certain I would have been seriously injured by the flying debris which almost certainly would have knocked me off causing further injury and damage.
So there you are - you never know whats going to happen next - but at least you can anticipate it and do something about it - unlike the custom bike rider I saw a few minutes later in his best flip flops, shorts and
t-shirt..............it's your choice........................
