The YZ500 crash I had wasn't my fault either my mate fitted a kill switch that snapped on me when the throttle stuck full on I tried everything you could think of to stop the bike, so thought I would just chuck myself off the back of it just as I was about to the same mate that made this kill switch that failed, rode out in front of me sending me up in the air above them both. This was on a Sunday I had just left school and was starting my plumbing apprenticeship on the Monday :D they was the day's I was only going for a 20min ride so had no gear on ;)
And yeah the old boy on the round about geez scary stuff. I had a 7 half ton lorry do that to me the other day while he was texting funny enough not at 60mph. But as soon as I could I shot passed him with my finger out the window until he couldn't see me anymore
And the list of things to do to the car sound good I would use it to have a quick play in the snow before I started the work but depends on time I guess :)
