maybe 1 out of every hundred trucks I've passed has not moved over for me, and I'm including when driving the car.

Yes heaps when I was only my SI tour. They were some of the most considerate vehicles on the road.

I don't reckon it is. It has a personalised plate, it doesn't have enough aerials and the guy in the flouro vest next to it aint a cop.

The Speedo is a standard one it just has an 8 tacked onto it. They sometimes do that at construction areas when a permenent speed sign is near where the construction zone begins. I don't think that's for the turn though. 80k's is a bit fast for a turn like that for anything other than a bike.

Truckies are some of the most considerate drivers I encounter on the road, so perhaps the ones you come across just hate Guzzis? I've even had them indicate to me that it is safe to pass when I can't see far enough - mind you I am always very wary of this, they could be doing it to get rid of me once and for all! But seriously, I have found most truckies to be really good to riders, but don't get me started on tossers who drive horse floats - man, I know they have precious cargo on board, but they are some of the most inconsiderate sods around. They NEVER move over, even when it is safe for them to do so, and if you try and pass, they get really shitty. Oh, and I hate taxi drivers too...

BTW, I assume it's to do with the number of posts I've made, but I really resent being called Scooter Boy - one, I don't ride a scoot, and two, I ain't a boy!

The dude's not a denim nuisance, he's wearing denim! I put my bigtime magnifier on the case and that's definitely not a standard rego.

You get some good and some bad ones...problem with trucks is that they're obviously huge and cumbersome and have the potential to wreak havoc if out of control...like the $%^&'r I encountered on SH2 one day, fishtailing out of a left hander as I was approaching it. It took him about 100m or more to bring it back in line...possibly the single scariest moment I've ever had on a bike. If he'd cocked up, jack knifed and slid towards me, I think I'd have headed for the bushes to avoid certain death. Not that I haven't gotten a bit loose in a car or on a bike before...but not in such a way as to endanger oncoming motorists like that. Some of them do seem to be a bit unfussed about their responsibilites when driving their machines, when they're the ones who arguably most need to be.

i cant imagine anything more dangerous than a truck breaching its limits on the road, i think alot of them get to carried away with making good time to worry about less important things such as safety

but just like in any job there will always be the good the bad

amazing Crazy Steve says something without making a complete cock of himself well done Steve, would give a a good rep but given you so many bad ones I cant, have to spread them around a bit more
