The thing that stops BMW GSs!

Yesterday, on my way home, my friend Pat join me on the slip off the M25 with his big GS. I find them quite something at the best of times, but yesterday it demonstrated how clever it can be. Whilst filtering ahead of me, a van pulled out in front of him, I could see from behind the van driver was going to do it, but Pat was too close for comfort!!! I had a flash of Pat going up in the air...But no need to worry, he is a great rider AND when he squeezes that brake lever, magic happens!! The big STOPPED DEAD a sniff from the back of the van and he was a saved Paddy able to carry on to the next one. Remarkably he didn't even look at the driver, much less wave obscenities and shout insults. He really is a cool dude:))
