    It's not just that though, it's people who are on the outside lane of a two lane round 'a' bout that think they can go round it and not exit at the first or second exit so the poor biker on the inside lane going straight gets cut off.
    Off topic a bit.

    We stopped in Paekakariki for a coffee and the café didn't have a toilet so we wandered off in the direction that the signs indicated.
    Couldn't see the toilets so went back to the café and asked for directions. Toilets were there but you couldn't see them due to the 3 huge election billboards installed in front of them.

    I made a co worker wet herself when I gave her a friendly toot in the underground car park with the nautilus I had in the busa.
    Also frightened a texting driver right out of the lane about 1.2 seconds before he would have hit the otherwise unaware scooter rider.

    Sounds like the horn on a train. Warrant folks get shitty when you don't warn them.

    Seriously? It will not make a bit of difference to the myopic driver's out there (of all nationalities).

    Oh, I think cage drivers notice my yellow hi-viz vest. Mind you, riding on a white Honda ST100P (ex police bike) and wearing a white helmet, it might just not be the hi-viz vest that does it.

    I can just about gauge when a cage driver in a side street is going to think, "SHIT! That's a Police Bike!" and hit the brakes. I watch them, thinking .... about now, and their bonnet drops as they hit the brakes.

    That's deliberate. They want you to stop, but don't have the ability to change the rules about giving way. So plant big fuck off bushes so you can't see the vain hope you will stop

    Roundabout's! For fuck sake don't get me started, I'll rave for hours They are the reason that we're not allowed to ride armed. More's the pity.

    I had the pair on the SV. Put them on the gixxer but one of them melted in the hot air from the radiator...not many places to put them on a gixxer. Now I use a single one.

    They are quite close to our factory, I drive through them at least twice a day and the displays of complete incompetance is astonishing. At least once a week the ABS in my hilux gets a workout and I simply avoid them on the moto.
