I was fairly late getting underway yesterday and so I think I hit the peak hour for Sunday drivers: usually I try and be back by the time I left yesterday....

Just count yourself lucky Mr HDC ... everyday hour of everyday is "Sunday Drivers Day" here in TGA

[buellbabe]

Laughing away to myself here...Luvin the attitude!
I totally get ya!

BTW I have passed a trio of late model Ducs' ...in my car... UPHILL ...and just wondered WTF they were doing on bikes like that if they were gonna ride like nanas... I know its each to their own/ride yr own ride bla bla bla but seriously????

BTW it IS possible to think "Jeez WTF?" and still be a calm/confident rider. LOL Nothing wrong with a bit of attitude.

That isn't an english sentence dickhead.

and no, it bothered me not at all. I was held up by them and the Mira for less than 30 seconds in my pootle towards Merivale-by-the-sea. I was more curious than anything.

Then why did you start a thread about it if it didn't bother you?

it amused me, and I thought it may amuse others.

Burn them! (been a while since I used that classic KB refrain!)

...i followed a big tourer the other day into town on said road, in my truck... he hung behind a line of dangerously slow old ladies in shopping trolleys and maui's and a heavily laden semi with a massive amount of hay on it...he was on and off his picks about every 4 seconds...struck me as fairly dumb when he had to only indicate and go, and be free of a bunch of silly situations...

I like clear air around me, and if I can pass I will: when free of traffic I am only sitting on 110-120. And of course the older I get, the faster I was.......

I'll second that. Then again as I get older the list of things that pisses me off gets longer.

I dislike shitheads who on catching up to a mobile chicane just sit in behind making it more difficult for the next unfortunate to pass.

Almost as much as guys on big bikes who are too tired to so much as change gear, and use the whole passing lane to get past one car.

All of the above probably think, "Look at that idiot", when I finally shoot past in a shower of shit and small stones.

Fair enough.
When I used to ride on the roads I was always hesitant to pass 'bikies' incase they stabbed me or summat.

Caused by beinot wanting to go more than 2kph over the limit and getting a ticket for it.

Whenever I have dared to pass a "bikie" they pass me back pretty quick.
Their penises must be extremely small

So, beautiful day yesterday, thought I would take the Street Triple out for a pootle to devauchelle or Merivale-by-the-sea. Not going hard because I dont go hard on the road anymore. What the hell was with the group of cruiser riders riding along at 90kph being held up by a Daihatsu Mira or some shittly little pissbox car? On a straight piece of road? What is the point of two litres of capacity and a thousand pounds foot of torque if you arent going to fucking pass these pieces of shit? Yes, that was me that passed you, and no, I dont care. Even with all the tassels and chrome geegaws you still have enough torque to pass gran in her shopping car - why the hell not use it?

Oh, and other grandma in some shitbox just before Little River: 70kph on the open road is not fucking acceptable. Stay home bitch!

apart from that, a nice hour or so out and about.

That was the Hells Grannies Motor Cycle Club you just passed.

hmmmmmm....

I would have thought it was quite obvious; the Daihatsu Mira was the Road Captain/Support vehicle. You see, what normal bikers class as a ride is known as a 'run' to hogsters. There's a difference. This 'run' requires the aforementioned Road Captain, a Tail End Charlie plus a support vehicle which usually carries the women. And the luggage.

..I wont go near the Hilltop during the weekend if I can help it...pity, it used to be cool...

Yeah but that was well over a decade ago

[mashman]

enjoying the ride and not the race perhaps...
