Wellll...I did see a guy arse off close to my local supermarket last year. He didn't have much gear on and managed to peel his right leg of most skin from hip to ankle...certainly illustrated how fragile skin is when it's rubbing along the tarmac...(or chipseal in this case...). I felt like an ATGATT nazi that day...

Maybe she does a lot of reversing and needs a rear flashing light?

**neels** · 29th January 2010, 11:58

That's very yellow.

The traditional purpose of the flashing light is to notify other road users of a hazard, obviously she has realised how dangerous her riding is and the danger she poses, and taken appropriate steps to warn them.

Your right though....plenty of the weird up here.
Would have to say, the yellow bike probably doesn't even come close to that here in Aucks.

Yeah, I had an off back in the UK (many many years ago), about two weeks after I got all of the right gear. If I hadn't had the right gear on I would be a right mess to this day. Needless to say I don't leave home without it now.

EDIT: But I draw the line at a yellow flashing light on the back of the bike! (excluding indicators of course)

No one is telling anyone what they should do, and no one threw anything at anyone.

It's just what they think, and they are passionate about it.

It's wrong to mistake passion for persuasion. I am sure you are passionate about something too - doesn't mean you are telling everyone what they should do? ay.

Fair comment about passion and persuasion DB, although I would say the commandments definitely became airborne! they where flying.

I know that bike and that parking spot.

Khyber Pass Road by any chance?

If so I parked there for almost 3 years

Sure is the spot.. I've never seen the bike here before, only been here 6 months though but it's usually the same old same old parking up. It's not your bike is it?
