Fucking cager!

[TuonoTom]

It's been said before, and I don't care, I'll say it again!

So in an effort to escape the depression that is exam study, I decided to go for a little ride today around the Christchurch hills. I started off my ride by going to the gas station and forgetting my wallet Anyway after that I head out of town, go through Old Taitapu road, and turn off to head up Gebbies pass. I'm having a good ride, taking it pretty easy. Well it's a good thing I was taking it easy, going around one blind corner heading up Gebbies and some tard is half way accross on my side of the road. Luckily I was taking a very conservative line, or it could have been a head on.

Am I saying I'm a perfect rider? No. Am I saying all cagers are out to get us? No. I'm just a little pissed off though!

I did toot my horn, but the horns on these little CBRs can't be taken seriously. He probably thought I was saying hi.

Rant over.

Thats exactly why the knee down on the road is a bad option. good on ya for staying alive bro

had the same thing going over the rimutakas on labour day some sutpid woman in a very large 4x4 was driving down the narrow, winding, blind, mountain side corners if i was a car she would have taken me out though she did wave to acknowledge me.

I learnt back in 2005 that it's not a good idea to ride within a week of, or during your exams. I wasn't as fortunate as you, and ended up in the bushes with my 'new' R6 having sustained about $1600 worth of damage - doesn't put you in a good state of mind for studying towards, or passing exams.

Yeah I definitely agree that it's a bad idea to ride when you're in a shitty mood, but I was actually feeling pretty good this morning. Sorry to hear about your crash too

I'll just quote myself here:

We are our own worst enemy

What's this WE bullshit about?

SOME motorcyclists are our/their own worst enemies.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself, and hope that others are doing the same.

This morning i was coming up to the intersection at the end of my road when a van comes from the left and makes a right turn straight across my lane and almost collects me. He saw me at the last second and had a rather sheepish look on his face. Forced me to ride through a thick mound of gravel as well so i wasn't too happy.

Know that road well. Ride it all the time. The other week I was cresting the very top of the pass with a mate ahead on his bike when the a van in front of the car in front of us suddenly pulled in to let the car past then swung straight out to block my mate's bike (no signal - deliberate action). I was all for following the wanker but my mate's more philosophical about these things. Anyway, wankers everywhere. You need eyes in your arse.

That's why I have fitted a Stebel Nautilus airhorn to the scooter - sometimes you need to let other road users know that they have PISSED YOU OFF!

The day after I fitted it I had someone in the lane next to me start to change lanes into my lane - gave the horn switch a press for a second or two and the car moved back into its lane, just my way of saying "try doing a head check before changing lanes you stupid bitch!"

That was one thing on the Triumph that was just pathetic. The 'neep-neep' horn. The Harley one's pretty bloody good but more is always better.

[Maha]

Theres an old saying....''if you had time toot your horn, it was never going to be a head on'' just a little anger

Fuckin bikers!

I can't understand how any motorcyclist who watches that video could possibly condone treating public roads like they are racetracks.
