Fast forward to today and I rode to work on the DL. Riding down the same road I spotted a small red shopping trolley getting ready to pull out of another business. After the previous day's adventure I buttoned off and prepared to have to get out of the way. Sure enough, the driver just kept on coming. I easily avoided her and was able to give the Stebel a good ole workout! The driver immediately pulled off to the left and as I rode off I could see her cringing in her seat - I think she thought a Kenworth was about to park on her! Love my Stebel - hate morons in cars!
Ha I see the problem here. The vision of the straight stretch is so good that there couldn't possibly be anyone coming so i'll just pull out, and if there does just happen to be someone coming then they'll see me and swerve to avoid me cause they are obviuosly not driving to the conditions. LOL
ReplyDeleteActually that's just a Google image. At 7:30 in the morning there's quite a few vehicles parked on the side of the road restricting drivers' vision.
DeleteQuite often a bus pulls out on me there too...
Stebels are especially great when the offenders have their windows open.
ReplyDeleteTroubadour has one on his Tiger and bought one for my Gladius last year - although it isn't yet installed.
Put it on! Both my bikes have 'em.
DeleteGlad you avoided her and THEN gave her stebel blast....no use relying on it to keep them from coming at you, the idiots usually are deaf also....

She's not deaf - but she may be incontinent now...
DeleteAh, the Stebel. Best farkle I ever added. Definitely gets the attention of the drifting cager.
ReplyDeleteAnother sensible V-Strom rider!
DeleteI am going to get one for my scooter ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Just check that your scoot can take the drain - they use some ergs to make all that noise...
