Idiot on a scooter today

[Fub@r]

We all know during your learner period etc riding at 70kph on the motorway can be asking for trouble, if not a death wish. Anyway riding a 50cc scooter on the motorway is a total death wish.

Other day going to work on the NW motorway saw a 50cc scooter doing around 50kph in the left lane and cars squeezing past the guy within his lane, thought to myself your kean. But this afternoons example of a scooter on a motorway defies all belief!

Approaching Te Atatu off ramp the traffic was speeding up after the usual congested area around Patiki Road. Up ahead I could see a scooter riding on the far left of the right hand lane. Thought to myself he will move over soon..........but no he continues to ride the lane line with cars going past him at 90kph+ and he had no intention of moving from where he was.

After waiting around 30 seconds I shot past and continued up the motorway, even as I'm disappearing in to the distance at 110kph with the traffic flow this scooter was still puttering along at 50-60kph in between the two lanes.

How some people get a license is beyond me

[Macktheknife]

Why bother, natural selection will get there first.

[YellowDog]

This person needs a lesson before it's too late.

[Sully60]

Sauté his Eyes!

[DingoZ]

Shit in his Pillow!

[Steam]

Seethe his scrotum!
Simmer his scooped-out skull!

[Gubb]

Sew Pilchards into the hems of his Curtains!

[Headbanger]

Its his cultural right, His family were travelling even slower then that for trillions of glorious years before whitey arrived and spread malaria.

[Gubb]

Piss in his letterbox!

[Japtwin]

just before Xmas I saw a teeny couple on a scooter, chick on the back loaded up with shopping bags, both in shorts and singlets, toodling along the motorway southbound by Gillies Ave. Big mutha trucks zooming passed. Not sure whether I was impressed at their balls or horrified?

[Swoop]

Interesting that no mention of "gear" has been made. With the vultures already circling, this should have happened by now...

[Donor]

Have a family group conference, and send a stern message that though we understand his individuality and respect his choice to travel at a speed that leaves him with a feeling of safety and satisfaction, perhaps he would commit to helping develop (with gummint funding of course) a series of workshops for insensitive car drivers and motorcyclists who may not see things as calmly and rationally as the rest of us.

Or just shoot the wanker.

[Gubb]

Bake him a turd-pie!

[Wiki Drifter]

rubbith deep heat on his genitals

[Gubb]

Heavy-breathe down the phone at him.

[Steam]

Fart in bed then hold his head under the covers.

[Gubb]

Take his Mother out for a lovely Seafood dinner. AND NEVER CALL HER BACK!

The only safety equipment was helmet, after what I saw he might as well not have bothered as he wasn't protecting a brain

[Deano]

Steal his jandals

[Mythical007]

scooter eqauls deathwish

Slash his tyres I say

[DingoZ]

Nail his nut sack to the brake pads, and brake real hard

Man, I got whipped today by a scooter on my way to work. Queenstown Rd, traffic backed up all the way down the hill. He zips past me splitting to the head of the lights, so I follow. As we approach, light turns green, I shit myself (stuck inbetween lanes with a slow scooter in front). Magically he pisses off and I have room to get ahead. Winnar!

Next lights, I pull up in the lane next to him, both at the head of the lights. He looks over, nods and smiles. I do likewise -- two wheels, who cares! Lights go green, I grab a handful. He's still there beside me -- so I grab a bigger handful. Still there -- then he passes me! Fucker!

He then proceeded to do the meanest suburban road rush-hour splitting I've ever witnessed. Under, over, behind, inbetween, it never stopped. He very nearly lost me.

It was some black Gilera. Couldn't hear the engine, I had my earphones in, but I couldn't smell any 2T and it looked like a four-stroke exhaust. It hauled arse, too. I think this scooter would give your GT250R a run for its money, Fub@r :laugh:

[Lucy]

If you can't beat them, join them. I am throwing away my leather jacket - who's with me?

[HungusMaximist]

Yea, tell me about it, scootahs are the shits for lane splitting in rush hour traffic.

Nimble yet still frkking fast!

If I had my way I'd be ridding a scooter for your usual errands around the city, stuff motorcycles... :2guns:

Yeah they are fast off the line but run out of puff just as quick :)

Like my bike, really.

Actually, stick a 12-20hp 125-200cc thumper in a scooter, keep the weight low, rubber-band transmission keeping the revs in the sweet zone (and aimed at 50kph), you'd have a means of conveyance that could surprise all manner of machinery. Put my or your bike next to such a thing, and we've got to shift gears, stop the engine from falling out of the sweet zone, and our bikes are geared for 0->100kph, not 0->50kph.

Looked like fun, but I know from experience the lack of a tank between one's knees gives me the shits when going around corners or over bumps.

[Mikkel]

Did he have one of these bumper stickers?

If not I think we should call the central and report a renegade.

[Blue Velvet]

I am throwing away my leather jacket

Um, can I have it? Heh

Scooters rock. I'm gonna buy one and get a NOS kit so I can do wheelies and scrape the foot boards.

[GSVR]

I am throwing away my body soon.

[Blue Velvet]

I am throwing away my body soon.

Can I have that too?

Will your skin fit me or will there be saggy bits?

Will it protect me when I bin doing wheelies on my scooter?

Does it come with steak knives? Titanium armour?

[Deano]

It puts the lotion on it skin !!

I've seen some class sh1t from scooters lately as well,

- driving SI in torrential rain near Geraldine on the open road, thick as scooter with no lights on and all back packed up for the holiday is centre lane, only just saw them in time.

- Again driving SI open road near ranfurly, come around corner to find a scooter centre left with a muppet riding pillion to boot, could have got two birds with one stone.

- yesterday saw a scooter decide it was more legal to walk/run his two wheels through a red light. probably is for all I know, made me laugh.

[NOMIS]

The guy u talking about on the n/w i see him all the time, he sits on around 60kmph on the m.way he only got by the looks a 50cc isnt that ilegal, what a dick!

[Waxxa]

Well, I have just seen a guy go past my office (Queen St, Auckland) on a scooter wearing jandals, shorts, t-shirt, no gloves and NO HELMET.

Must deserve a prize of some sought.

Irrelevant. If you have a genuine Italian scooter, then rules of any sort do not apply. It's a strange thing, but it just comes out of the bars and up your arms :woohoo:

[Blue Velvet]

Indian giver. You said you're throwing it away.
