Scooter complex?

[CHOPPA]

Do you have a scooter complex??

I ride a scooter to work from my home in Eastbourne to work in Petone, 10km of nice winding roads 70km area


Anyway there are quite a few other motorbikes that I pass because they are more patient or they are just happy to dordle but when I pass them they seem to have this instant race reaction haha they usually go flying past on a straight then wobble around the corners so I promptly pass them back.

Its very entertaining!!

Would you be upset by a scooter passing you? If I were on a big bike I think id just laugh

I agree mate. Used to carve them up on my TR50/110 back in the day.

It might not be the scooter they object to.....

Anyone going faster than me is a lunatic. Especially if they are on a scooter.

I was having a yak to one at the lights yesterday...commenting on how quickly he got through the traffic (compared to my bus lol)
turned out it was a 250cc scooter/bike that he had ridden all round NZ ...good sort!

I just wish they would wear proper gear! (most sadly don't!)
...other wise Ive got no probs with them (owned a coupke myself)

...Just dont ask me to wave back at them

Nope, that's Nigel you are thinking of. He's much bigger and hairier than me. He has a similar situation to me, although he has some use of his left arm.

That's called a carpark isn't it? A racetrack for scroters.


I was menaced by a scroter a little while ago, he was following quite happily and I do NOT hang around to fuck spiders when filtering...
Pulled in and let him go. Fooken giggled my arse off over the whole thing. Someone who knew what they were doing and it doesn't matter if it's a big bike or a scroter, they get let through.

When I lived on t'other side of town, there used to be a scooter would use the cycle lane to filter to the front of the lights. Then one day a car in the line pulled left just as he came past...scooterboy ended up on the footpath. He stopped doing it after that funnily enough.

Whilst I hate riding something with my kees knocking together, the only thing that annoys me about scooter riders are those that insist on riding their Nifty Fifty on the motorway. Dangerous as IMO.
