10 th febuary
I was heading up to the Garda station in Portlaois Town this morning on the bike to report an incident and i was nearly in an incident myself that could have seriously injured me and really damaged my bike.
 I was leaving the roundabout going for the exit to the Garda station. I Noticed that one of the cars on the oncoming entrance to the roundabout was traveling a bit fast. Being a bit paranoid i jammed on and was i glad i did she missed me by a hair line, she must have been oblivous to the yeild sign.because everyone else at the entrance saw me.she then looked and gestured to me as if i was in the wrong. What was see thinking see should have a proper read of the rules of the road a new one only came out recently, ive a good mind to carry it with me everywhere so i can point out to idiots were they have gone wrong.
it is quiet scary driving a bike in ireland between the condition of the roads and some blind drivers you could find yourself in a heep at the side of the road .I talk from experience as i was a victim of a hit and run on my motorbike on the main cork to dublin road.
A driver pulled clean out in front of me causing me to lose control and no i wasnt speeding i have a sports bike but i dont believe in doing the d**k plus the roads are to dangerous anyway you dont know what crater sized  pothole you could land the bike in.Anyway the driver of the car drove off leaving me at the side of the road unconcious in the gravel, only for a british man behind me stopped in time i would have been f**ked.
i got away lightly i had a sprained rist and ankle, 1300 euro worth of damage to the bike plus i had to relace all my protective equipment after it another 1000 euro ,bet that diver was glad he drove off. Protective gear works thats why i cringe when is see people driving in jeans and a jacket you will be mince meat if the bike hits the deck, wear the correct gear even if it only a scooter you drive.
Could someone please have some consideration for bikers, most bikers arent idots that is the ligit biker with tax and insurance .
