Westie riders are rude

**barty5** · 2nd September 2009, 18:31

well last few weeks ive been driving to work ( Newmarket ) from Helensville would appear that riders who filter on the nor western are rude i have for the last 11 years while driving in from the shore always moved over and made room for bikers filtering through and have always had a nod a wave even a flick of the indiactor for moving over. last few week on the norwestern not once. Counted this morning 12 bikes went past not one so if you see orange ss-v that dosn't move over any more you bought it on yah selfs.

Feelings hurt?

No we aren't.

I try to wave for anyone who makes room, but sometimes I'm a bit concerned about all the other drivers who are trying to kill me.

So, thanks if I haven't thanked you previously.

Knickers in a knot mate?

I don't wave when riding in high winds myself as I found sudden gusts of wind aint good for control when you only have one hand on steering.

mate, i think you should step it up a bit. if they don't wave you should try to push them off the road next time you see them, there is no excuse for bad manners.

The scary part is he rides a bike.

I love the advertisement factor. Tomorrow 12 bikers will now be on the lookout for an orange SS-V.

Bikers are good blokes and blokesses I've found. So I always trust they're at least appreciating it.

He needs a hug. Geez, he drives an orange SSV. Even his mother would stop hugging him for driving a piece of crap like that.

Droll responses aside. You have to admit, it's kind'a nice when a prole in a cage acknowledges your good deed, or some hairy lout lifts a hand as he crosses the crossing you just stopped for, or a biker flicks a wave for a good deed done.

Yeah, tis. Tis nice. But not getting hardly qualifies the not-getter for counselling. Get a life, buddy.

I usually try and wave (if I can) but it's not too good an idea to take your hand of the bars when you're splitting!

Also, a flick of the indicators... they should already be on :P
