Miserable weather threatening worse so no scenic detours for me tonight...straight home the short route, but decided to put the hammer down a bit...
Bad move.....
No footage I'm afraid, my old rechargeable batteries that I've been using in the cam have reached the end of their life after the last charge so you'll have to make do with dialogue..new batteries on tomorrow's shopping list
Hit this manhole cover turning into Young Street and the first miracle is that I held it, front wheel sliding out as it was, like some back-to-front speedway rider, had just stayed on my side of the centre lines and gained control just in time to grab the brakes and nearly lock everything up again as some idiotic thing, don't know who or what it was, the windows were so illegally heavily tinted, in a white van pulled straight out of Wickes car park.
A second longer to get the front wheel to behave and there would have been a faceplant into the side of a van
Not a SMIDSY with windows like that, might not have seen me but to have those tints makes it a SMID Give A F*** About You (or anyone else for that matter), though both parties have a lesson to learn from that I bet I'm the only one to take anything from it...though I was obviously going too fast for conditions, van still shouldn't have been pulling out.
