Crashed weeks ago replaced pickup Coil but doesn't try to start battery seems fine

Last year or the year before dont remember i was driving on a 2 lane highway
I was in left lane and a little honda civic was in right lane going in same direction as i was.
the speed was about 90-100 km hour. i was about 200 meter behind the car traveling a little faster than the car .I was going to pass the car soon in my lane .Then i was distracted by something happening to my right i heard a bang and something going on on a construction site
so i automatic turned my head to the right for about 1 second.
when i turned my head back again the little car had shifted into left lane i was travelling  for no reason as there was no other cars around ,but the funny thing was that it had suddenly stopped  there on the highway !
I was able to just throw the bike to the side and was very lucky not hitting it.
i then  braked hard and saw that the driver was a very old lady with big curly hair.
The strangest thing was that about 15 minutes later when i was almost home on the small city road where i live the same little car was driving slowly in front of me. Same old lady same car !!!??
i dont understand how she was able to get there before me ?? there are no faster roads to get there as i know of. strange !

The TAce swing arm is too wide to fit into the FJ frame so you will need to narrow down the TAce swinger to be the same width as the FJ swinger. (Don't forget to allow clearance for the end caps)

Tell your wife it's all about enhancing your motorcycle safety....works for me.

Thanks Pat. Clear with Swing Arm.

My wife already knows all tricks ......

How did it go last year with the voting ?

We didn't make the top 5...

FB & Instagram is the means to getting noticed, not the quality of the products.

My carb kits should be here tomorrow, I pulled the carbs off today and dismantled each one. Have the first one soaking right now. I don't know how people are posting pics on here, I don't see the option but I would love to show off how it looked on the #3 carb, no wonder there were problems.

We were doing a road trip a few years ago in outback Australia where the morning brings a swath of dead kangaroos laying everywhere on the road after being hit by truck road trains the night before, anyway we were driving along early one morning constantly swerving one side to the other dodging them when a car came up behind and sat about 6/7 car lengths behind us, suddenly I had to swerve to miss a giant roo laying in our lane and the car behind didn't have time to react and hit it which put it on two wheels nearly tipping the car over, they soon backed off after shitting themselves and then followed a couple of hundred meters behind.

Haven't read the article yet ...

No doubt!

I have seen entire exhaust systems drop out from under a car going down the road!  I've hit crap on the road twice (in cars thankfully) that cut the tire from sidewall to sidewall.   

Site distance will definitely save your life!

Lately (last few years) I've noticed the trend of a driver up ahead not paying attention and doesn't see traffic slowing in front of them - so an easy slowdown turns into panic braking that sets up a chain reaction behind them.  Having extra room for you to slow down means the guy behind you also gets extra room - even if they were following too closely!  It also gives you time to evaluate the car behind you and decide if you need to take the shoulder or go between lanes to stay alive.
