Wellington motorway 7.30am ZX-9R vs blue Falcon

**sturm** · 28th June 2011, 07:59

Was it you on a orange/green zx-9r with blue LED light in the tail going in to welly this morning? You were behind a blue falcon and when it finally let you past you gave the driver the 'im watching you f**cker' action, and the falcon driver swerved towards you as if to hit you...!

I passed him a few seconds later and he was smacking his steering wheel all pissed off lol

What happened?!

Not the first time I've heard of a dickhead in a blue falcon in Wellington.

could be the same one, it was a light blue BA falcon! Sounds like a nutter

Get his reg number and post it up

He's had a go at our workshop manager Ben on one of the rare occasions Ben's ridden a bike home.

I don't see the dude anymore but by christ if he swings at me again it's boot in the door time.

Or follow him and pull up at the lights. Helmet versus side windows....scary stuff.

Ther are obviously alot of people that are upset by us on two wheels. A guy I work with has a vespa (yes I know..) he was riding home on Friday, through town when a car swerved and hit him (lightly) twice. He then somehow got in front of my workmate on the road and jammed on his brakes ensuring that the scooter went right into the back of him.

Idiot didn't realise that there were several witnesses to his behaviour and they are willing to testify.

It would seem the scoot was following too close then

Last week saw the dude I talk to at the Mercer St bike park with his smashed up CBR900RR on the motorway overpass. Was sitting getting attended so may not have been too serious. Then the next morning was a smashed up SV-650 and a few cars on the Kelburn offramp. Ambulance there but didn't see the rider. Hope he's okay.

Being swerved in front of and the brakes being jammed on is the exception to that rule.

True but as yod said "it would seem ..." It is always assumed the rear most vehicle was the cause unless proved otherwise, at least initially. This is where the witnesses play such a big part and they can also tell about the preceding actions. The story if just told by the scooter

rider would sound like a lame attempt to dodge blame.

Exactly - and lucky for him someone recorded the whole episode from just after the guy swerved and hit him the first time. I have seen the footage and it makes me sick!
