Dodgy Driver Dob-In!

How ironic - his one friend is boomer.

So if a picture is worth a thousand words....

I've never returned from a trip yet, in 44years riding, and been able to say 'I was perfect' . Not for me to judge others, unless I saw something down right dangerous or stupid, I wouldn't bother going to the cops.

I have a camera on my bike and it's usually going. Like Slofox, I cant be bothered with facebook or that other website for twits.

P.D.!

Already prophesised young Al. Hoping we can string a few more pages out of a very simple point to be hammered home, and still not have it stick.

If only for Monday night giggles.

Maybe another 20 years will see his outlook altered.

This thread needs a few pics then?

.... that other website for twits.

This one ?

Good advise - I agree 100%. As I've stated repeatedly, I am a very cautious rider & I don't ride "angry".

Glad to hear it.

However, I work in Auckland & the number of crazy lane changes I see on a daily basis, where people drive like maniacs is alarming to say the least. Just two days ago, in a 10km distance I was very nearly side-swiped twice, nothing to do with me, the driver simply never looked behind.

A 10km distance in Auckland traffic involves a lot of traffic (even more at rush hour). Considering this, the thing that amazes me is that the frequency of such occurrences is so low. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice if drivers were more considerate, just that drivers, and riders, are human and mistakes will always happen.

Aaaaahhh

...Grow up FFS!...

...Maybe you should fuck off! Your brainless banter is decidedly boring...

...stop being a knob...

what a grumpy old prick you are...

etc etc...

Lol...

...Please bare in mind, the language used on these forums (abusive language) is not allowed & frankly I'm really surprised that this abuse appears to go unchecked by the Admins - it gives a really bad impression of bike riders for those people who view these forums (non-members) & those who have recently joined. I'm sure the rules of the forum state otherwise??

Whilst I appreciate things happen that do really annoy us, there is no need - in my honest opinion - to get all abusive about it, it just looks ghastly & puts people right off...

[swbarnett]

I do the same myself - but why oh why, do you seemingly make gross assumptions that I don't do the same?

Apologies if I got the wrong end of the stick about you personally. It's just that all this harping on about the standard of other drivers is counter-productive. I'm no saint when it comes to complaining (I've chased down more than a few drivers in my time and exchanged heated words) but what I've discovered after years of getting het up about it is that the only affect is to raise my own blood pressure. It's not easy but I'm starting to chill out and develop a duck's back when it comes to what I truly believe amounts to honest human mistakes 99.99% of the time.

High tide problem maybe?

I'm struggling to understand your post. I replied to a question "Biggest danger to motorcyclists'. Motorcyclists themselves". That statement is a gross generalisation & as such, I do not agree with it.

Your statement implying that I think I'm special, or that nothing will happen to me, it entirely mis-directed.

In all motorcycling situations ... the individual rider has to live with the mistakes they make. Even when they are on their own ... with the "safety" of no other traffic to get in their way. One small error and ...

You're nothing special ... you will make mistakes ... one of them may even kill you. Or somebody else. You cant pick the time (or place) that mistake will happen.

Decisions you make affect what, where, and how you are doing it .... and are factors in what actually happens later. Riding alone actually increases the chance that your mistake will hurt you. Who else can you blame ... for decisions YOU make ... ???

A generalisation YES ... and you don't like it. BUT ... Like it or not ... On the road ... YOU can be your own worst enemy.

About the same number of years riding ... I did ... once ...

[Hitcher]

Feel better now? Jesus, what a grumpy old prick you are!

You resort to name calling, which only proves your IQ matches your shoe size - seriously dude, don't bother posting if you can't contribute any worth whatsoever.

So name calling is only a crime if somebody does it to you?

[blackdog]

This one ?

Bikes? I see fuel for a bonfire.
