This will scare you

[mikey62]

One of the guys at work (mid fifties-ish) and I were taking about travelling times to and from work and I said its all ok for me cause I ride a m/c "Oh really" Yeah thats my m/c jacket on the coat stand. The one with the fluro vest. Then he says "Are you allowed m/c's on the motorway" !!!! WTF !!!! I tell him he's the reason I were the bloody fluro fucking vest. How scary is that. This guy spends half an hour on the motorway each way and he's out there just waiting to cut you guys off. Watch out.

No its not... I agree... but I know what they are talkin about I use to live in Auckland and drivers were just as bad then... that was about 15 years ago... and there is alot more traffic now... and they were complaing abot the roads then too...

I know a woman who's learning to drive at the age of 40. She was stopped at traffic lights the other day and a bike came up behind her with its headlight on. She said, "that's a really good idea. I've never seen it before. More bikes should do it because it would be safer."

This is one person who should never be allowed to hold a driver's license.

Well they are now trying to get cars to drive with headlights on... this will just blend in the bikes to the background again and make us lee visiable (to those that do actually see)

[Guitana]

Yeah nothing new there Mikey62 most cage drivers when they cut you off give you a look like what the hell do you think you're doin on my road!!
The prick who cleaned me out a few years back jumped out of his car and started raving at me and he was the a-hole who ran the red light at the intersection luckily there was a cop across the road on a beemer who witnessed the entire scene and threw the book at the senile old prick!!!

Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!

yeah, that happened to me on the way to coatsville one time... the dude didnt look so high and mighty after his rangerover lost a wingmirror! F#cker... oh, btw, iicon gloves are the shit when it comes to violent two wheel foolery...

[Guitana]

Yeah I just got some new gloves with the armour on the knuckles great idea, good for taking out mirrors!! Also handy as a knuckle duster.
Slightly expensive but worth the investment.
We've just gotta face the facts until you've ridden on two wheels you will never appreciate how vunerable a biker is!
Maybe all license holders should do some time on two wheels it would make the roads a safer place. When I drive I always look for bikes and give them right of way even when they're riding like a fucken looney!!!

Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!

they tried to enforce this rule in the UK I believe, it was decided that the danger to motorcyclists would be catastropic so it was scapped, and bikers are now the only motorists alound to use there lights during the day in fine conditions.....I expect they will follow suite here

[davereid]

I prefer to ride with lights off.. and then give a couple of flashes on the hi beam when i see a car at a corner, or in any situation where they have to give way to me. Worked grat on the FZR, it had a nifty little flasher switch on the left hand controls.

ER6 has auto-on headlights, they come on 2 secs after the engine starts and you cant turn them off. HD had a worse system - the lights just came on with they key, so you had to crank with the load of the headlight as well.

LOLOL... too funny... does she use the mirrors to apply makeup - or to check for pimples? It's obviously not used for anything "trafficky"

And it'll increase our carbon output by increasing our carbon fuel consumption and shortening our replacement period on light bulbs. Unfortunately, Aunty Helen probably will side step picking up the tab to cover our increased costs.

[Swoop]

You expected anything less?

Keep your eyes peeled - they ARE all out to get you!

[Guitana]

Yeah but in the meantime go to your local pool and practice your diving technique ,at least if your gonna get binned you can do it in style with a Triple backwards summersalt and land on your feet to loud applause from the crowd!! It worked for me!

The trouble with that is that lots of people will flash their lights to let someone into a queue, so they might misinterpret ...
