Great Australian Motorcycle Stories: A Close Shave

As told to Jen Scanlan Kurrajong Heights, NSW

It was one of those very hot days in western Sydney when the tar on the roads starts to melt. The plants droop as you watch and the grass browns before your eyes. The garbage in the gutters seems too tired to move as the traffic swishes by. People's tempers fray quickly and the haze in the air seems to settle on people's minds. On such a day, roadworks and lane closures cause motorists' patience to wear thin.
