Inconsiderate driver on the tuckers

[caspernz]

Last ANZAC day I received an inquiry as to what velocity I travelled about the countryside on the bike.
I answered his question honestly. He looked incredulous for a while, then said, "I would block you."
My answer contained just two words, the customary advice regarding sex and travel.

In most instances a bike would be gone before he was even aware of its presence.

Sadly there's probably more like him out there so take care.

Over the holidays I overtook, in a truck n trailer tanker unit, an old fella towing something like a foldout caravan thingee...he was doing 75-80 on the motorway and so I just cruised past doing 90 clicks. Same geezer dawdles into the servo I'd just delivered my load at, and he comes over for a quiet word about my speed. He seemed surprised that the 80 kmh limit for trailers had been amended years ago to 90 kmh...changed his tone somewhat

I wonder if he started driving closer to 90 after this discussion

I refer to them as the "Suzuki Not-Very" because "swift" in the name is really false advertising.
A car dealer I spoke with said that if the front gets damaged then it costs $7k to replace the front bumper. Insurance companies just write off the vehicle instead.
Perhaps Suzuki should just stick to making bikes?

The Bergs have a swift (abet a sport one) and its a wee rocket. Unfortunately we have the speeding tickets to prove that front bumper also nowhere near that price any more. When they first came out parts were expensive but there's plenty of aftermarket bits available now.

*chortle*
"drive to the conditions" etc...
I looked at getting one when they were first released. $17k brand new (iirc), wasn't a bad price.
Not too sure what they go for nowadays.

They're around $20k for a base 1.4 Swift now.
Excellent little cars, drive well compared to the other Jap competition.

Would,nt mind taking Monster tajima,s suzuki out for a wee spin.

I'd rather drive my holden than ride a 250.

Good for you, enjoy the traffic.

Returning from Rotten Rua to Dorkland last night, 10pmish, got to Pateatonga, had had a good 105 cruise controlled trip so far passed maybe 10 cars in either direction until then.

Even the wife sitting beside me was getting pissed with them all!.

Maybe it's my dirty mind, but if my wife and I are faced with a situation such as you outlined...it just spells out naughty blowjob opportunity...and we're both calm and relaxed, not to mention happy...just a thought

yeah that's what happens, the 250 whizzers have to pass illegally, then the first sign of rough road surface or moisture and they are holding up traffic they just passed. and if you pass my holden, you are speeding. i think that you have the same mindset as the holden/audi drivers, and it reflects that, as why you have to pass them.

The only bugger that has overtaken me on my bike in a car was a holden, a big noisy,fast as fuck one too.Bastard.

Audi's are better, their suspension is far superior, by far.

I followed one Holden over Mt Messenger one day. V8 crackle and rumble into corners, then squirming sideways out of corners trying to get the power down.

Hell, I just sat behind and enjoyed

This bastard was in a black SS, I thought I would have him when we got to the gravel, but no, the bastard could drive, we hit the gravel doing upwards of 180 and I was sure the cnut would back off, but oh no. I need a faster bike.

you are a bit that way, eh...

sounds like my uncle, but he's only got the baby 5.7, and it's bright fucken orange.
