To the muppet splitting on the NW (29/11/2012)

[Madness]

Whilst crawling along the North Western Motorway today at about 4pm I saw a fuckwit on what looked like a Hyobag splitting between lanes 2 & 3 across the Causeway. I'd just like to state that if you can't split without smashing the wing mirrors off cars who appear to be minding their own business, please don't. Fuckwits like you bring unwanted attention to the rest of us who manage to commute without damaging the vehicles of others.

That is all.

Wanna root? I'm feeling frustrated.


Which muppet were they?

I'm fairly confident it was this one from the way he was controlling his Hyosung motorcycle. It was fucking scary to watch, worse than watching a Bucket race!

Funny thing about bikers knocking the mirrors off cars.

Ya' never hear about it from anybody but the liars,,,sorry I ment "bikers" that claim to be doing it.

You'd think car drivers would be up in arms over it seeing as how so many bikers claim to be doing it ,,,but nope,,not a thing,,,wonder why I call BS?:shifty:

[mashman]

I reckon it'd make a great protest. Give us cheaper ACC or i'll smash yer fuckin mirrors in and make you spill hot coffee on yer bollocks/lady bits.

Yeah Sunday afternoon heading into town on the southern I watched three nongs splitting and carving it up while we were doing between 90 and 100 (in the car). Whatever. They obviously felt confident in their ability to avoid unpleasant meetings of metal. I just thought they were dicks.

I think he means the muppet was hitting the mirrors accidentally with the handlebars.

Now you've done ruined the fun,,but I do like ya' bike:shifty:

[madandy]

Bloody inconsiderate car drivers could push that little button what makes their mirrors fold inwards...no bumpy bump from the hyobag then!:facepalm:

I just feel sorry for anyone that has to drive/ride/crawl on a motorway myself.

Met the muppet's relative today, on the Southern motorway just before Puhini Road turn off.

He was lane splitting at 110-115kph, riding a silver bike that looks like a CB900 (with two exhausts under the rear seat), license plate B5WTD or B5WID... Overtook me within my lane and then crossed in front of me to filter through 100kph traffic.

Wait .. wait .. don't tell me .. I know the answer to this one ...

"It's only 1% of all motorcyclists causing trouble and giving the rest of us a bad name ..."

Yeah - I've done it deliberately (yeah, I know you're going to call bullshit - sorry, I never stopped to take pictures ... ) I've done it three times in 39 years of riding ... and not since 1988 ... (I can clearly remember the last time I did it ... in Adelaide Road, Wellington, and I left there in 1988) so yeah it happens, but not as often as you might think from the claims made - I too am skeptical of claims by bikers they do it ... they are trading on the image the small minority (1%?) create ...

I snagged a wingmirror on the NW causeway last year :yes:
Traffic was crawling at 20KPh max, I was splitting as you do. UPS van decided to swerve right in his own lane and sandwiched me between the van and the poor bloke in a Toymota Exiv on my right, the gap was narrower than my handlebars and I could feel the van on one leg and the Toymota's pass door on the other leg. :shit:

I ended up surviving without damage to me or the bike, (was banging on the side of the van with my fist) but followed the Toymota and got him to pull over by gesturing and indicating. I then re-attached his mirror (not broke just unclipped) we then had a piss and moan about asshole courier drivers and went our separate ways :love:

I do run the causeway twice a day in rush hour, was the Hyobag rider on a blue 650? If so, I've seen the muppet before, one of the dodgiest splitters I've seen. Even dodgier than the Harley Bagger (tea bagger?) rider that I followed this morning. He was wobbling about and must've caught a few mirrors with that massive fuck off faring that those have :facepalm:

Yep, that's probably him. An RIP thread waiting to happen.

[skippa1]

you're being too tough team.....wing mirrors are like cats whiskers. They let you know when you are getting too close. Not our fault if they are poorly attached.

Was splitting down NW last week - completely forgot I had a spare helmet strapped to the side of my bike (making it wider than I thought). There were a couple of "that's a little tight" moments - I dread to think just how tight they really were with the helmet.

Was going up the inside of a line of cars - noticed a soccer mum in her 4x4 starting to 'drift' (cars doing walking pace) out of the lane - slammed on the brakes (plenty of space to spare!) and she was talking on her phone. She then opened the door and was very apologetic - clearly she was not paying attention or even holding onto the steering wheel!!!

Brisbane's congestion is worse than Auckland's. And it's 32c. And lane splitting is illegal.

But the infrastructure isn't coping with the population growth - STAY HOME :-)

Cool man, thanks :niceone:
I was wondering if anyone would notice me

what about 'To the muppets splitting on the NW every day'?

I really like some of the AMF Harley Davidsons.

[jasonu]

what about 'To the muppets splitting on the NW every day'?

or tomorrow?

[Madness]

Gremlin maybe you should change it to "Muppets splitting on the North-Western Motorway" 'coz by the sounds of it they're as common as waving threads.

You good with that Maha?

Edit: I see you've already changed it. As you were./Edit

Happy (in a non'confusing way) now...:shifty:

[Phantom Limb]

Ha! It continues.
I followed one all the way from the shore out west today. He was clinging onto the rump of a Rocket 3, splitting between traffic that was moving side by side at 90KPh then splitting between stop / start traffic with all the poise and stability of a drunk surfing an ironing board.

His white sneakers with neon green laces out in the breeze just waiting to snag something. It was comedy! That man needs a :third:

If only everyone could ride sensibly, wear leathers every second of the day and never ever do anything illegal or even remotely dangerous like all of us on here ....

Yes because discussing these things makes us the problem. :rolleyes:
Lets all stay quiet, that way new riders can make up their own minds on how best to become 'man jam'

It's the fucking cagers' fault.
