How many times has this happened to you guys/girls? In my 7 years of riding I have never hit a mirror, but this morning I managed to.

Was coming through traffic normally and slowed down to practically a crawl because of a car hugging the white line, got through but heard a light *Tick* on my right hand side.

Could have been my handle bar clipping his mirror, when I looked in my mirror though, his/hers looked fine. Couldn't put my hand up to apologise as I was still concentrating getting through the rest of the cars.

Once I stopped at work my mirrors and handlebar was fine, no scratches or anything, likely just a lovetap.

But hell I feel bad now lol..
