No word of a lie, this poem could save your life.
As motorbiker I always check twice but 6am I just missed a guy
Not until I pulled away from the junction did I see a wheel that I barely missed
All it would of taken is a bit of reflection, to keep you going in the same direction
There are many ways to exit this game, I'm so grateful to not be the one who put out a flame

Experience cannot be taught, you have to experience it to move on in life.
So very true but he truly didn't care being dressed in black, I like to take risks but then there is just being a twat! (sorry it rhymed) but always my inner truth 😉
Have a great day
Certainly heart in your throat kind of moment. Pleased all is well. Also well expressed...
It's fun how some say it would not of been my fault but I really don't think that would be my first thought if he'd been layed out on the road!
Always appreciated thank you for your time
Oh definitely. I think even if he was entirely to blame, you would always blame yourself. It takes a lot to make a life, but so little to take one. Whether accidentally or intentionally. Scary world I think.
Scary or just worth ever minute! Enjoy the journey while you are here, live in love let go of fear! Tattooed on my arms to never forget and keep on singing it like a broken record 😉
Near misses can be terrifying but oh so much better to reflect upon and beat ones self up over rather than an actual contact.
I dunno why but your piece made me reflect upon something an old boss of mine said to me when i was a salesman selling to plumbers, builders and the like. "Always drive home from your work day by a different route, take roads you would normally by-pass because you just might see something you would never see if you dont" well he was thinking about seeing opportunities to sell but today im thinking slightly differently. You've had to stop and think "what would it have been like if i hit that person" and "what would it be like to have been hit by me" and " what would it be like to be a witness to that accident"...... It occurs to me that in doing these, and indeed visualising many other angles of any subject makes us grow. Brings us wisdom. Exploring many aspects beyond the obvious.
Sorry to go 'off key' a bit m8 but maybe its just the keemo drugs.
Can't believe it, my reply is down below lol
Ha I did exactly what you've said and the worst part was on the push bike I assumed the car had seen me and was just pulling away!
It was that real shock of how the **** did I not see it! The road is massive! Just one frame of moment sooner and I he would of got it, strange thing is one of the first thoughts was that would of really spoil my good mood and I'd only just got the bugger back!
Buddy you could scribble on my page all day, I'm sure we would just laugh or discuss till the cows come home!
(sorry to go back at ya, must be my meds kicking in)
As a fellow rider I can only agree! On a bike you need to have 360 degrees vision.
Every time I ride I nod and say hi 😉
Exit...choices...inner voices...blessed to be able to see the signs and lucky to know how to choose the right choice...🌹
