    Agreed, my closest scrapes on a bike have been at the hands of pensioners. How slow were her reactions...sorry no, that wasn't slow reactions it was NO reactions.

    Now if it had been a Sram display she would have done a handbrake turn and had another run at it...

    You'd have been checking stock levels and searching for product codes that were incorrect if that was you driving through that shop though. =P
