Crazy riders

[10bikekid]

I was impressed with the skills of a said motorcyclist on a mid sized Ducati Monster (or something similar) yesterday.

I was travelling up the North bound outside lane of the harbour bridge in my warm van (doing about 20kph) when I heard the roar of a smaller loud twin, it passed between me and the car in the other lane (no big deal right) and then the guy nailed it would say he was full tap running up the white line

I'm guessing he would have got to well over 100kph easy running that white line while cars where doing about 20-30ks and I was surprised he did not loose the back end (if he'd been on a thousand I'd say the result would have not been so good)

Heaven forbid was I ever that mad, it certainly looked bad from where I was

Hope he enjoy his little Russia roulette game with the wet roads and the traffic

Sorry Mum.

Sorry Mum.

In this case your guilt complex is unfounded, the bike wasn't green

Thats not skills. Thats just an idiot who was lucky!

Obviously my sarcasm was to disguised,

If he was any good, ( eg a KB'r ), he would've been up on one wheel.

And sliding the back at the same time

He did what he did because "he" was OK with it (fair enough too) but unfortunately it doesn't end there!

Like it or not we (motorcyclists) have a further responsibility to our own image! (Just another temporary New Zealander etc!)

To quote Burns the poet: "Would that God the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us" .. and there is the rub!

Public attitudes cause us all manner of higher charges and expences just because of the perception that some of us create!

These higher costs have caused the premature end to my motorcycling days, I just can't afford to continue, damn it!

I thought that I would just ride off into the sunset and die on my bike but allas image is everything and now that image is very very expensive.

And therein lies the rub. Motorcyclists slated as wankers because of a single wanker on a motorcycle. Compartmentalisation through a lack of ability to accept that that is or was once you. Everyone is a fuckwit, I should know, I've met two of 'em.

Excellent example of what the last two fellah's were saying

Thanks for proving the point

PS, If we live long enough this usually fixes the problem for most of us

PS There's a fucking good chance I've been riding bikes longer than you've been alive ... Yeah I tangle with the cops now and ten 0- I pay the fine/do the time (wihot a licence)

Never made me ride like a nanna ...

So just piss off back to whatever cotton wool world you crawled out from and leave the rest of us to have fun and play in the traffic ..

It was never about you (or was it)

On this occasion I got to see a birds eye view as a car driver of how motorcyclist can represent us.

As much as anything it was a good lesson for me to try to take it easier and not put innocent motorists at risk by stupid actions (as this guy did on this occasion)

Again not sure why you are taking it personally and throwing the dummy out the cot and name calling like a school yard bully adds little weight or value to the discussion

PS, 40 years for me, raced in Motorcross etc offroad and Trackdays at Club level and Ridden well over 100.000ks in NZ onroad, perhaps you have done more but it wasn't completely a novices prospective that I was coming from, your motorcycle appendage may be bigger than mine ? but I don't think that's the point
