One GOOD  and one NUTTER  .

.I was riding up to Terry’s in Brecon today, enjoying the good weather and scenery, just concentrating on things at hand, minding my own business. Traffic was light and managed to pass a few cars safely. I pulled into Terry’s and got myself a cup of the hot black coffee just the way I like it.

A guy in a silver 4x4, X-trail I think it was, pulled in and I remember thinking “he was behind me for a while coming up”. Anyway he got himself a drink and then come over to me and said “are you riding that red Pan... Here goes, what’s the problem now? Thought I. He then proceeded to say “Nice Lines, Very Smooth”. Well you could have knocked me over with a wet girly mag... Then, before I could un-clench my teeth and say "Thank you" with an apropriate smile, he was gone.

I’m sure it happened and I didn’t imagine it because I saw him driving away.

I would like to think he pulled in there to tell me how good my riding was. To be realistic, he, like me, just fancied a coffee. I’ve never seen the guy before but what a nice thing to do/say. I didn’t have a chance to say it to him so, this is for you mate, whomever you may be.. THANK YOU......DAY MADE.

Then of course, there has to one. THE NUTTER

My mate Dave and I had a nice ride, down to Hirwaun over the Mountain down to Treorchy over the Mountain and down to Bridgend then onto Porthcawl, Great run, Left there after half an hour stopped off in the biker cafe place in Cowbridge, which, Understandably as there was about 5 bikers waiting outside, closes at 3:30. Not good as it was 3:45. So we headed for Barry passing the Welsh Hawking centre, nice roads.

Barry was busy but we managed to get a coffee, fourth one so far, pretty quick. Had a half hour there then headed for home. Still thinking how nice of that guy to say that and make my day, didn’t last long. I was coming off a two lane roundabout at roundabout traffic light, onto a dual carriageway. I was on the outside lane of the roundabout, with staggered lines showing you to go straight on or carry on around. I exited onto the outside lane of the dual carriageway, correct right? This nutter, cut in front of me from the inside lane almost hitting the car in front and taking out my front wheel. So, honk honk, “what the F...,” as you do.

 The git, driving a little black shed, I think it was a Fiat so I could understand his bad mood. Tried to tell me I was not allowed to exit from that lane. CHEEK. I told him what came to mind in the spur of the moment. You’d never guess what. He tried to ram the Pan... WOOO HOOO RED MIST. I crossed the next little roundabout and found somewhere to stop and give him a lesson on the Highway Code. ++++. The sneaky little sh.. He took the first left turn, down a little single track road, never to be seen again.

Just the thought of a nutter car, sorry, little old black Fiat driver would not benefit from the vast Highway Code experience I had to offer him, , PMSL, just spoilt my day. Then thinking positively, I had just encountered, and survived, a nutter in a little old black Fiat. It would shame me to admit being hit by such a shed. So final thought. DAY MADE ... Again.

Fecking cage drivers you either love them or hate them

The charity work you do requires you to be a fast but safe rider and lucky it wasn't a new rider.  Personally, if he tried to ram me off the road I'm sure I would have found the p**ck.
