Observational Skills

I can't believe just how far my observational skills have declined after six months off the bike. I have probably sank down to the level of a car driver and it is going to take some time to get back up to par. Anticipation levels have dropped to car driver levels as well. Worrying.

Indicating to turn left to get my blip. Shoulder checks revealing a new defender well behind me by the final mirror check the soft sod had to swerve around me. I know the average driver can't manage to look beyond the end of the bonnet ( hence the need for speed limits to be painted on the road) so perhaps when turning left I will reinforce my manoeuvre by flapping my left arm wildly next time out.

Time they banned infotainment systems and the bastard phones out of cars so the dozy bastards behind the wheel may find time to look out the windscreen.

Hot and sunny.
