lol, M.S. - no need to apologise at all!!   Who knows, you may have just helped to save my life... or at least saved me from some grief... and not just me but others too.   For me, this is what these forums area all about!

Yeah, I hear yah, TM!   My intuition has done me ok in life so far.. will see what the next few days bring. Have ridden through peak hour traffic in Edinburgh a couple of times so not too worried about it (although I can't say I enjoyed it much). I have put about 4000 miles on my bike since November (and only 240 on my car!) and I am still a pup at road riding. (ex-motocross!)   I think my natural habitat for riding my bike is wide open spaces with minimal other traffic, so all I have to worry about are MY actions (and luckily that is in abundance all around me). Just not sure about throwing other drivers into the equation just yet, maybe.   Thanks for your advice though and I have certainly taken it on board!
