I had a nasty scare last night which is annoying as I am going getting my confidence back on bikes after dropping my bike last year, so still have that in the back of my mind as it was about this time last year. I took an evening ride along the coast to Pagham harbour and watched the sun go down just enjoying the cool summer evening. Was doing about 20mph and saw a car emerging from a driveway about 50 yards ahead. He waited until I was 15 foot away before pulling out to turn right across my path. I almost had to put the bike on the pavement the other side of the road and just missed him. The sooner I get my short bottle exhaust fitted the better as people might hear me coming better, I know the headlight is dim on the Enfield but it is not that dim and I have the pilot lights as well. Ride back in the dark then was a bit hairy with the thought of that in my mind, I was going for the brakes at every car that appeared from a side road.
