Being undertaken by another bike is not funny!

[Tink]

Posted a little about this in another thread... but have to say if you see a Yamaha Scorpian 225, with a sturdy fella on board, no real bike gear, and rides quick... in Franklin (ak).... watch out... he overtakes on double yellow lines, and undertakes other bikes... grrrr. We were not impressed!!!

[PrincessBandit]

By undertaking I am assuming you meant he passed riders on the inside on a single lane? What a cock.

[mattian]

I made a similar post about a numbnuts Courier rider doing the same thing on a 250 Tracker....... boy did I get flamed. Apparently I was having a little cry by posting about it.

Moral of the story.... treat EVERYONE! like they're out to get you, including other bikers

I would not have flamed you ... I honestly think the guy thought he was doing the right thing, cause there was double yellow lanes in the middle. No shit about the everyone part... lol I see a truck coming up behind me or even passing, I move as far away as I can, self preservation is my middle name.

[kevfromcoro]

what.. did he pass you on the left.hand side..
Thats a bit of a no no..........

[boomer]

More whining.. ?? This place is a whine fest.

Many bikes/bikers pass on double yellow lines and as for being undertaken i can only assume you were nannying along sat a foot away from the yellows holding people behind you up.... i'd have done the same thing and flipped you the bird.

[Headbanger]

Meh, I'll pass on the left if that is where the gap is, and I judge it to be do-able.

Just not on corners.

[mattian]

haha... your a fucking champ. So you just thought you would throw in your 2 cents worth to whine about the whiners. thats legendary

TROLL - you sure know how to bait don't you.

[Dean]

Dont suppose you were a bit too close to the double yellows,
The rider behind you couldnt pass hence you hogging the yellows.
He realises you are a bit new to riding so he decides to pass on the inside for his own safety,
Just as he does, you notice him so close and pull over to the left assuming he'd pass on the right.
Therefore you both end up nearly hitting eachother due to circumstance?

Just a thought....

[crazyhorse]

Welll I do pass on double yellow lines - sometimes, a bike has alot of power, and sometimes it is quick and easy to do so on the double yellows. easy on a bike, not in a cage. A bike also doesn't have to cross over far from the lines :done:

i'm pretty sure if you got two lanes, like you're saying, you can pass him on the left lane. you can also overtake if you stay inside the yellow lines...never cross the yellow lines...there's monsters over there!

Nah don't do either of those things. In fact, if you are about to be overtaken by an experienced rider don't do ANYTHING. Just hold still and let him go - he won't hit you.


Steve[/QUOTE]

He was not that experienced as undertaking on a a two way road is illegal surely. As a rule I am very easy going with other riders, giving way always and as they see my L plate most wave or give me the thumbs up, but this idiot undertook two full licenced riders, before me... definitely a noob!

I had the road in the middle (no where near double yellow lines), I was doing 95km, and he was speeding, and it was a two way, there is no way in hell he should have undertaken me... he is a accident waiting to happen unfornately, there is nothing safe in what he did. AND even if I was close the double yellow, overtaking is illegal on double full yellow lines, they are there for a reason. :)




Any one know for sure the law for undertaking on on double lanes....you know what I mean, a truck in the right lane doing 90 and the left lane is clear?

On the motorway in England trucks can't drive in the overtaking lane, some people here have the mentality that the right lane is the fast lane, and trucks should not speed, as there stopping power is slower, I only know when I drove a 7ft van, once a car pulled out in front of me presuming I was going slower, and I damn well near hit him. But if your on the motorway and there doing 90km in the overtaking lane, and not overtaking, I would go to the left carefully... touch wood I have never had a accident.

[Tink]

lol ok... that too!!!!

[davebullet]

Sounds like the git was insecure and had to prop himself up by showing off to 3 other riders. This means his focus is on his ego first, not his surroundings. I wouldn't trust him in a group ride.

Until they have a bad accident that is... that sort of "experience" usually changes their outlook slightly.

Yeah its illegal alright, and with good reason. The road to your left is yours for use in an emergency. Other riders should take care to not occupy it without your consent, knowledge, or direct invitation.

Don't worry too much. It is unlikely you will get drawn into their situation if you are smooth and controlled, and don't make sudden moves.

[Headbanger]

Well, if its illegal, then the policy missed about 9 trillion ticket opportunities on the Bikoi, hell, the Savage on my left all the way fown the Foxton Straights is liable for at least 300 tickets alone.

Give the guy a break - a blimp on a Scorp takes 10 minutes to get over 100 kph - he wasn't going to waste all that effort!

There's more to this story than meets the eye must have been down hill or a good tailwind or maybe he hung on to the back of one of your mates bikes and sling shot himself through

Nah seriously Scorps are great - undetake overtake blimps, newbs, short arse oh and mines for sale soon

everything is pretty much funny when you're young...it's only as we age we realise the seriousness of things.....hopefully he will learn the easy way and not the hard way.

[Mikkel]

Undertaking, bad habit. Surely, if the other guy is going so slow you have to get past him it must be possible to do a proper overtake.

Even worse habit: a biker overtaking a biker that is already passing. :weird:

Are you absolutely certain it isn't the other way around?

Around Franklin eh? I'll keep an eye out. I sure as hell don't want this to happen to me. I might have to follow him to have a chat if I ever do see him.

[DMCD]

I've had cause to do that before, I was following a CBR 250 RR and came up to a green light, as it turned yellow he slammed on his breaks pretty hard and me being on a larger bike knew I couldn't break as fast so I slipped up the left hand side and went through the light.

Edit: I probably could have stopped but it would have been dangerous to do so.

As far as im concerned this guy is lumped in the same catagory as those foreigners who forget which side of the road they are meant to drive on over here! I don't think you can control everything or every incident you can see as potentialy dangerous, usually something good will come out of it, like this motorcyclist will die by his wrong doing and not involve anyone else, or the tourist will end his life banging into a very large truck, not a motorcyclist. :blink:

Well, if its illegal, then the policy missed about 9 trillion ticket opportunities on the Bikoi, hell, the Savage on my left all the way fown the Foxton Straights is liable for at least 300 tickets alone.

Yup....

I gave a fella a mouthful when he came alongside of me.....when he did it again I reached over and turned off his Kill-switch, fortunately he got the idea after that.

I understand the frustration when a slower vehicle blocks the road...but there is never justification to overtake on the left...buy a Stebel Airhorn!

At Bikoi, I happened to turn up just as the cop cars and bikes pulled out to lead the convoy..I was about 4th or 5th in line.....

Now....I always try and follow at a safe distance, say 5 to 7 meters at the speed Bikoi was moving......I estimate being overtaken by over 100 bikes!

In a convoy....Why do ppl feel the need to overtake??????? I was virtually going backwards trying to maintain a safe gap!

I took station in the left of my lane (to prevent LH overtaking) and I suppose it could have looked like an invite to pass....

Riding in groups is an eye opening thing...there are countless fuckwits out there....on two wheels and four!

I have to say I am not experienced, but I am not a idiot either, nor was I travelling slow (dble yellow on my right).... so regardless of L plate, and 2 experienced riders behind me... he undertook all 3 of us on the left hand white line.... (just an update so you all understand what happened again). If he had sat behind us long enough we would have moved over as we usually do... or he could have waited for a opportune moment to overtake legally, but he didn't... and we/he were lucky nothing bad happened... food for thought, I mentioned this for the simple reason that someone here may know him, and someone does... you can't change the mind of an idiot sadly.

I agree with every thing in this but the first part. thats like grabbing someones stearing wheel while driving.
thats more dangerous than left hand undertaking. do it to me and i would kick you off your bike.

[Thani-B]

If he's riding a hyosong he isnt.

I know someone on a hyosung, and I'm ashamed to say he's now a better rider than me (but shhhh, dont tell him I said that).

[Conquiztador]

A few things re all this:

- You can overtake on double yellow line as long as you do not cross them.
- Sitting behind someone hogging the r/h side of the lane while going slow is annoying.
- Always know what is happening behind you. Look in the mirrors! (Last w/e I had overtaken a late model car at speed. I came to a long hill with a overtaking lane and was sitting in the l/h lane. The road turned right and I was planning to move to the r/h lane beacuse I felt the "flow" would be better. Yes, I was riding over the 100k speed limit, and normally very few overtake me. But I looked in the mirror before I moved over... and the car was there and overtaking me. If I had not looked...)
- 3 of you being "undertaken" must have felt humiliating. But remember all the cars that move over to the left so you can pass. Just do the same if you are on a bike.

No I would never "undertake" a car or a bike on the road. But drivers/riders who have no idea what is happening behind them do annoy me.
