Another lanesplitter whinge - red/black GSXR600R Wgtn M/W

[MD]

I know, not another moan about someones riding but hey, I've got to pass the time before Sons of Anarchy tonight.

Dear Rider of red n black old gixer. 600 SRAD I think, but I look away in pain whenever it passes me, whether I'm on my bike or car. One of those oldies with the oversized rear seat hump. Commutes on HW 1 into Wgtn at a pace begging to be bowled over. By the speed you lane split, I take it you have never experienced an off yet. It's a case of when not if. Just don't take another biker out with you OK.

But that's not what's annoying me. It's doing the entire trip in first gear, engine wailing it's head off, pissing off all in your wake, valves close to inserting themselves up your rectum. Actually it's a testiment to the suzook engine that it survives.

Check the owners manual. It's not an automatic but the bike did come fitted with a gear box, so you don't need to pass 300 vehicles each morning doing 12,000+rpm in 1st gear. You might think it sounds cool from your seat. It doesn't. It's a crap noise and just gives us all a bad name.

You're having a whinge about an annoying biker while waiting to watch a program about annoying bikers? :blink:

[bogan]

Inlines fours eh, you'd never catch one of them SOA boys on one.

LOL I whinge all day about shit people don't think about or do! Venting is a good way to get it out... ignore the negative... and have fun whinging lol

And?

[Blackshear]

If it wasn't for me going to work at 6.30am and trying to be quiet, I'd be inclined to make lots of noise tomorrow.
I'M COOL. INVINCIBLE. YOU'RE ALL JEALOUS etc etc.

What speed differential do you guys make when splitting?
I stop splitting on the motorway if the traffic is above 50, or myself at 65.

[mrchips]

I'll take your Kamikaze lanespliter & raise you a van driving fucktard who speeds up reeeeeeeeeeel fast behind motorcycles.

[CookMySock]

:blink: It doesnt give me a poor reputation. I already have a poor reputation. :yes:

Thank the lane splitter.

Two typical examples of nut-sack waggling blood-in-knob bad driving we all see every day.

Remember kids, always release a load before you hit the road.

What else am I supposed to do in the morning?
AND I'M NAWT A KID.

I'm a young adult :love:

[mrchips]

ha, ha... good one ! :woohoo:

[marie_speeds]

It wasn't me.... :innocent:

[mikeey01]

I guess he'll learn one day.

[nudemetalz]

That guy on the 600 is a bit of a wally. He's cut me off quite a few times on the Guzzi but not worried.
A cruddy old v-twin like mine can't keep up with the latest MotoGP technology ;)

Yeah, they'd never let a real bike on there :facepalm: 45 deg underpowered, low torque per litre cast iron sacks of shit.


Ooooh I love SRADs, sexy old things, shame it's not a white and blue one.

[Lurch]

I've read so many of these WGN raceway lanesplitting complaints, just about all of the regulars on the SH2 commute have been covered. I'm starting to feel a bit left out.

[MSTRS]

Somehow I doubt you'd have any problem catching them on one...:innocent:

[Matt]

Ha yeah I know the guy you're talking about - parks just down the road from me (Edward St) - not as bad as that guy on the Guzzi tho :innocent:

Ain't that the truth!!

[nudemetalz]

ooiii !!! Me a good boy with my illegal lane splitting !!

[Number One]

Ha ha he - I know eggzachery who you mean. I just let him go by - I'm much happier when he is in front of me. I wonder he isn't the old lockshop guy all growed up is he?

[marty]

is he being followed by a waaaambulance?

[Number One]

is he being followed by a waaaambulance?

No I am sure if he was people would just hear him coming and do like I do...get out his way.

[nudemetalz]

I don't follow him either...his overtaking is scary.

[MD]

Well I was on the bike commuting this morning and he passed me right on the point where I came across shattered pieces of a green fairing on the catseyes i.e. the lanesplitting zone. 50 metres further on there was an old Kawasaki leaned against the armco. Where the gorge flyover and Hutt southbound traffic merge.

The message was lost on this guy.
