New lesson Learnt today.. Dont tailgate other riders.

GSXR 1000 rider crashed riding next to me…

The rider was in a que and filtering when he had to suddenly brake and his front tyre locked and he fell. I helped him pick up the bike and the rider was Ok. he was more embaressed. His rear brake leaver was bent and also crash mushrooms. Faring was damaged also.

Yikes. Yeah always leave some room - it’s not nice in traffic having to worry about the guy right on your back wheel, and for you well it’s another thing to worry about also.

Seconded!

Glad to hear the riders was OK!

I bet it wont be too long b4 he does! :stuck_out_tongue: If someones that close behind me, I let’em pass. I dont need help having an incident! :wink:

I can still remember by instructor doing a bad ‘Mr T’ impression over the intercom:

“Keep your distance lad, cos only a fool breaks the 2 second rule”

Sounded like a dick, but hey… i still remember it!
