Adventure Bike Rider Forum

I occasionally work for this elderly excentric English lady who has a holiday home here in France. She asked me once if I could follow her to the mot station, on turning into the mot station Road she was on the wrong side, she continued until a car appeared in the distance and pointing to this poor French lady to pull over and get on the "right" side.....all this unfolding in front of my eyes, pissing my self with laughter. She then arrives at said mot station, realising what shes done....we're both howling with laughter, all to the demise of poor French lady. Hands across the water and all that (thumbs)

I find the change going abroad far easier than reverting to the left when I get back...anyone else find the same?

Nearly dropped a bollock like that a time or two.

Did it in Germany. Pulled off down a slip road and turned left over a bridge. Up into 4th and the car coming towards me seemed to be aiming straight at me. Wasnt until I was getting very close I swerved up with the rear stepping out and along the verge between the barrier and back down onto the road I realised it was my fault. Bloody scary moment and close but its a lesson not to ride when you are tired

It's not just us, Just outside Burnley, I saw a Romanian Lorry driver pull out infront of a car on to a duel carriageway, whilst looking the other way, it was a very close one, the car driver, a Lady, swerved and just missed him.
She give him a big blast on her horn, he threw his hands up in the air, as if it was her fault.

Guilty as charged, the two that I remember most are driving my Dnepr and sidecar all the way down Tremp's main street - about 500 metres before realising my error as I approached the junction at the far end.
Coming back to the UK at Gatwick Airport to collecting our own car in the terminal - yes, a long time ago! - during down the ramp ay 70 going on 90 (we had a 1.6 Fiesta XR2 ...) to join the M23 down to Brighton and looking into my left hand mirror to check for oncoming traffic before 'joining' the motorway traffic, which was of course over my right shoulder - we are still married ...
