Is it a bike or a cage??

**Zed** · 15th July 2005, 22:00

As I was heading home this evening I saw what I thought was a bike approaching me in the opposite direction, there was only one headlight so what else could it be? To my bitter disappointment it turned out to be a cager with his front LH light out!!

It's kinda like seeing a long haired woman walking down the street and as you pass her from behind you check out her smile only to find out she's a he...yuck!

Don't you just hate that!

I have noticed a lot lately headlights blown on cages lately as well.
Least you can see the parking light mind you (if its working)
I’m guessing is either the cold weather blowing the bulbs (Just a guess) or the fact more people get there warrants done in the summer time... or maybe because the petrol price has gone up.

.......and hate it even more when you stop for that hitch-hiker with the lovely long blonde hair...... Doh!

It's the blurdy cages with the RIGHT side headlight out that piss me off.

I'm forever pulling up cages with that light out and explaining how bad it is and how it looks like a motorbike - always give then 7 days compliance to get it fixed!! - AND explain it would be best to get it done as soon as!!

How's about giving the next one a ticket just for me!

You'd make my day SD.

Oh, they get the ticket alright - but they don't have to pay if they fix it, fair enough??

Also depends on their attitude.

Are you allowed to tell people about the tikets you give out then SD? Spose it must be OK if you dont give there names. If you are, give us some good stories about the fuckin boyracer types, you must have a few of those.

Oh, got some goodies o.k - like the guy on his Triumph doing 95kph in a 50kph area, said he was doing that speed 'cos the chips he had just bought had steamed up his visor so much that he could not read his speedo, he also said he wanted to get home to have his chips hot,hence the reason for his speed.

Asked where 'home' was and he said 'Bluff' - about 165km further south!!!!!

Or the car which runs around at 2am without lights on...

**zadok** · 15th July 2005, 22:49

Headlights blowing must be a common thing. Everytime I go out at night I never fail to see several cars with only one headlight.

lol that'll teach ya for perving!

I often see cars with only one headlight... it's so dangerous for all road users, and most times it's as simple as buying a cheap bulb to replace...
