Pfft. That's like saying that one's second-to-last putt never goes on the hole.

I'd forget to try and be polite at the point you said that, and turn quite abusive indeed.

By that stage we were having a very pleasant conversation about biking in general and as I can personally attest to a desicision made hastily almost being my last we happily agreed on it. Got the scars and physical problems to prove it.
Would you rather I just issued him a ticket and was a complete nazi prick

I admit to imagining the wrong context, if you were having a conversation rather than preaching.

I've got scars from making fuck ups too, most people do. But your chosen favourite saying, is total dribble.

I don't care if you give him a ticket. What would the charge be?

You don't happen to know the Lower Hutt snake who has a crusade against the Thursday night ride over here do ya? He is a preacher, and the type of cop I see as the steriotypicle arsehole.

No, I wasn't having a preach and the saying in only one of my better ones (it relates to way more than motorcycling).
As for charge, careless would have been the one as he had forced the vehicle he was passing off the lane and onto the left shoulder by his actions. I used my (holy jezz, I've actually got some) judgement after talking to the rider and chose not to proceed with any action other than a heads up. Guess ya had to be there to see it go down.
Not sure who your Thursday nemisis is. As a rider myself I'm quite happy to stop for a chat but I normally keep the preaching to myself. I don't always condone what I hear goes on with these rides but I'm not heading over your way the deliberately piss you off and target.

Lovely frosty spring morning ride

Didn't see Mrs Berg nor the eagle this morning. Soon be morning sun-strike to watch for which can be fun when coupled with chilly mornings amazing the way the light scatters on misty windscreens and then there is the lack of sunvisors in helmets.

Eagle flew at a slightly later time this morning ;-)

Avoiding the traffic jams I trust and enjoying the sunshine?

Really? People die all the time, from all sorts of things. Choking on a potatoe chip, tripping over getting out of the shower, driving down to the shops. Would that also stop you from eating chips, showering, or driving to the shops?
