I had a very close shave this morning om my commute into Cape Town.

The short version is I was merging onto the N1 from Paarden Island trying to get to fast lane, a taxi changed lanes, I grabbed a fist full of front brake, wheel locked so hard it ripped the grip out of my right hand and then bike wanted to high side me in between the cars on N1.

It was one of those I already made peace with the fact I was going to eat tar but the next moment it somehow corrected, I found a gap between the cars and I carried on with soiled shorts.

I may have even hit a car, not entirely sure, it happened so fast but there was a silver 950 behind me and a 1200 GS Adventure. Know it is a long shot but maybe it was a member and they saw me trying to ride rodeo between the cars on the N1 and saw more than I can remember...
