Road kill

No I don't mean me going for a ride ya' smart buggers.
Awesome day and only one week left on the warrent so yesterday the Saint and I head off down Highway 22.
Bikes running sweet at an average of about 80kms the whole way,see a few other bikes on the road an life is good.
I get to Ngaruwahia "turn north and head out of town over the bridge and into the 70 zone.
As I pass the last of the shops an orange MG convertible being driven by a blonde woman comes up behind me bloody fast an then proceeds to sit half a car length off my rear guard .
Because of the way she came up on me I'm keeping a close eye on her and I'm not to happy about how close she is either.
Even though we're sitting behind about 15 cars she still pulls out and begins to pass "straight into on coming traffic"
I can see where this is going so I start to back off as I also drift to my left.
Half way past an she works out it's just not going to happen "so she simply pulls hard to her left" exactly where I would of been had I not picked that moment to grab a serious hand full of front brake.
The front end starts to chatter an the back starts twitching about like it wants to let go and I swear I can almost feel her rear bumper as it barely scrapes past my front wheel,,,,then as I get my shit back togeather,,,,,she waves to me:facepalm:
I stay WELL back from there on but when we get to the north side of Taupri she pulls out "again into on coming traffic an passes 3 cars,,,two hundred meters before the north bound passing lanes,,,,bloody hell mate:no:.
I get to Huntly and decide it's not a bad idea to stop for a coffee at one of those roadside van/tent set ups because I want lots of distance between that crazy fuck and me,,plus I could do with a nervous pee as well.
From there I head up to Mercer back over the river up to Highway 22 again and then enjoy a nice drama free ride back home.
Thinking about it after wards "I only get something like this happen once every 2-3 years,,but this one was one of those bloody scary ones " I know this because I could still do with one of those nervous pees,,,,, and I'm not going to tell the Mrs about it.
Anyway it's time to go clean the Saints seat "keep the shiney side up people.
