Yeah , well , you could have avoided it . But you crashed into it instead . Which I know is not the optimal choice . I know this because I have done it myself . A few years ago I centre-punched a car that had turned into my path . I broke my neck and speared all of my left-arm bones through the flesh of my wrist . I didn ’ t “ lay it down ”. I just slammed into the car . Could I have avoided it ? Sure . If I had been on my game a little more . If I ’ d have anticipated a little more . If ... if ... if ... At the end of the day the driver was legally at fault , but I was the one in hospital because on that day and at that exact time , I was not on my game . My fault . No issue . Hell , it ’ s not like I ’ m new at this . Car drivers do all sorts of Crazy Ivan shit . I want to beat them with chairs too . And before we entered the Age of Video Surveillance , I did . Except I didn ’ t beat them with chairs . I beat them with large shifting spanners , helmets , mailed gloves , and steel-capped boots . Halcyon days . And I can guarantee you that each and every one of those drivers whom I beat like a retarded plough-mule is today far more motorcycle aware than he was before the beating . You ’ re welcome . So , don ’ t give me that shit about violence never solving anything . Violence solves everything . It always has and it always will . It is why governments all over the world use it , and it is why we live in a relatively peaceful society . The mere threat of police beating us with truncheons is usually enough to get us to behave . So I contend violence is especially efficacious when it comes to solving things like the deepvein stupid that produces arrogant statements like “ I had to lay the bike down ”. I can admire a bloke who owns his screw-up . “ Yeah , I stuffed up . It was my fault . The pins come out in three weeks and the bike was insured , so I ’ m planning what to get next .” See ? No need to for a chairing here , is there ? I ’ d probably shout him a beer or two because it ’ s hard for him to crutch his way to the bar and carry back a round . But don ’ t lie . Only bitches lie .
