I'm afraid i missed your incident I don't look in my rear view mirror on the bike on the M8 anymore - too much going on in front of me ! Quite glad it came off in front of you and not me though
TBH your incident wouldnt surprise me at all as I've seen all sorts since I started working out of livingston - i've seen people reading books, magazines and even on guy on a laptop. All in the outside land of course.
Would love to see what the bike looks like in traffic as people certinaly move out of the way a lot quicker than they do on the car - im guessing it looks quite imposing.

Just need louder cans and it would mean that even the people who dont bother looking in the mirror would know i was there

Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?
