Thank god for the life-saver glance! Lax Power Fiat nearly had me and the missus off going round the M3 roundabout at J3 Lightwater. I was going towards Lightwater from Bagshot where after indicating my move intentions for a good 20secs, I had a quick glance into the middle lane for a final check when I saw Johnny Lax + mate + birdwithfag 2 inches from my back wheel with a big grin on his face as he was racing a DUCATI!! Anyway, I decided to stick with my original lane and watch as he then undertook everyone waiting at the roundabout traffic lights and then undertook 3 cars down the Lightwater bypass and then cut in front of the last car to get back across for a right turn.

Help me out here, beacuase no matter how much advanced training that you complete and how defensive you ride, you will never stand a chance against this idiocy. The fact is that he wasn't actually speeding! He was within the limit. So now what?

Anyway, other than that, the ride was superb. It was dry and sunny but very crisp. My summer AlpineStars GP gloves kept my hands warm for 2.6 seconds. But that was minor in comparison to the buzz provided by Mssrs, Tamburini and Termignoni.

Well as he wasn't speeding, then no chance of him being caught - unless he just happened to run into a police car.

Thank god he didn't hit you!

Clearly these types shouldn't be on the roads....

If the council could kindly provide a SAFETY CAMERA on that particular roundabout section then I would feel a lot safer about Yoof in dem wikkid motahs as this behavior would have not happened.

Didn't know there was a ikea down towards Basingstoke james?!

I have to be honest i did contemplate going out on the bike myself on Sunday. I ended up having to 'Dog sit' instead, bugger.

AJ, Did you make your decision on the new bike or racing for this year 2004? Good luck if it was going racing. Would that be in the same series as Ben??
