this is how you take out two shadow riders at once...
Roughy & myself set out for a quick ride down the road from my place..we get to the round about at the intersection of Mirrabooka ave & hepburn ave heading south with the intention of turning right from the right lane ( I am the lead rider ) into hepburn ave.... this is when it goes wrong....I have the right hand indicater on & I put my hand out to the right ( as per always when i lead a ride I also give hand signals )..mean while roughy is behind me and is looking to the cars to the right of his entrance to the round about, thus failing to see my turning signals ( both hand & indicators )... he assumes that I am riding straight thru' the roundabout vs turning right. So as he continues to thru' the with this assumption he rides straight thru' my line and cleans both him & myself up... lucky for both of us this was a low speed collision so damage to bikes was minimal & we just ended up with some cuts and bruises... my crash bars took all of the damage on my bike due to sliding with some minor scratches to the pipes...roughy's got a lot more damage due to the fact he has no crash bar, his gear selectors, extra lighting & front forks along with tank damage..shows the value of crash bars...if i had non, i would have had a lot of leg damage...
will try for a video tomorrow of the two bikes and the walking wounded...

Shit, you guys, we are dropping like skittles lately, glad you are both ok, as bad as it is must have been funny to see if you were in a car watching at the round about. Crash bar is a great idea Louie must seriously think about getting one. Best Greyshadow
