    Shhhhh dont tell everyone, but thats cos it doesnt happen half as much as we like to think/bleat about.

    (based on my experience coming from west and having to split from kelston all the way to the city, i guess others milieage may vary)

    Some guy on a black thou with a really loud exhaust went past me on the southern motorway yesterday (SH1 in Auckland) and a bus didn't see him ... I cringed because it looked like the bus was going to crash into him, driver saw him at last minute & swerved back into his lane as well as the rider employing avoidance tactics.

    That reads to me that those who voted, agree with you.

    Or is it that when the stuff like those vids happen to you, you've dismissed it before the end of the commute?

    I'd say that stuff happens at least once a week for me, but I already "know" it's going to happen so just hang back. No drama, life goes on.

    Sounds like me ...... (after my spiel of knowing when that stuff is going to happen I hope it wasn't). Whereabouts on the Motorway.

    Let's not, and say we did

    Of the 3 motorways, the northern is definitely the easiest to split. And we have sure (shore?) girls :P

    Now listen here sonny - I drive a Subaru and am certainly NOT out of the same mould as those others you cite!


    As for the poll:

    Where is the option for "I shatter their eardrums with the Stebel Magnum"?

    Or "I glare at them from behind my dark smoke visor so they think I am some evil scary bastard and not a silly old grampa man on a bike designed for people one third my age..."?

    This should be a multi-choice poll, if the 7th one fails, I like to try the first 5 at the same time, then finish off with number 6.

    Hey, I drive a BMW every now and then, it's those fucking people movers you gotta watch out for I reckon.

    Quite likely a loud inline four will have similar results.
    doubtful, IL4s just don't have the raw aggression of a V-Twin.

    Good luck .. If I can hold out for another month and a half, 35 points drops to the two-year bracket ... then it's only a three months suspension .. If I can hold out until the end of April, 2012 then I'm back to only 20 points ...

    I'm sweating a bit on it ...

    i didn't post the videos to "bitch", i put them as an example of the type of situation that should/shouldn't spark a reaction.




    ever had this happen to you? again not that interesting and you cant really see anything from the video. Not too sure what his intentions were - think he might have been going to smash some guy across the street. I saw his left arm come up and assumed i was about to be clotheslined
