The most dangerous things you see other riders doing on the road.

**Crasherfromwayback** · 12th January 2017, 16:32

Dickheads riding (obviously) over their ability level. A menace to every other road user.

**Woodman** · 12th January 2017, 16:40

Passing multiple vehicles on roads where there are a lot of intersections, ingoings etc. Gives me the shitz.

**R650R** · 12th January 2017, 17:09

Engaging in fuckery, covers it all....

But

Group rides with 'fast' riders.... where the 'fast' guys are the ones who do idiot overtakes, then others overtake worse to keep up. That's dumb shit.
In fact group rides at all in any form...

Stopping in dumb places, if someone can run into you they will, pull OFF the damn roadway....

running tyres down to canvas....

Nor do they all suffer from ego. Nor getting lost.

What is with senior members of this site and the flaming threads directed at cassina?

Oh and on this > ''Overtaking on blind corners. Puts the shits right up me when Ive seen this happen''?
I saw a video some time ago posted by a rider that clearly showed a certain one armed rider overtaking several bikes/a camper van and a car or two through a left hand bend with oncoming traffic...ring a bell?

Wiping up leaking fork seals is the most common one - especially funny when they forget to wipe off the oil that's made it's way onto the brake pads and disc.

I clean my drivechain to make it look like a new one

Yup. Was it a blind corner I overtook on? Do you know that bit of road? I can answer one of those for you. it wasn't a blind corner by any stretch of the imagination. And I was well back within my lane before any oncoming traffic was near.

Oh and this isn't a thread aimed at cassina. When he/she suggested it I thought it was a good idea.

Egotistic sportbike riders, cruiser riders who think their bikes can go faster than an R1, trying to keep up with their riding buddy etc.

You've got a few photos of those things I bet.

Fortunately no. Only observed during group rides and some dickhead cruisers trying to race an R1. But I do have an album full of riders leaning over the center line.

Bollox!!! Some riders put their brains in neutral when they get in a big group. Perhaps they think the

won't be able to identify them as the suicidal fuckwit among many bikes? I don't know, but their idiocy goes far beyond any pressure to keep up. Especially when they are at the front of the group.

Cassina reminds me of the saying, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
She knows now't, so everything she sees looks like a rider under pressure to keep up.

Perhaps she should get out more? The Catlins? SH43? The Gentle Annie? The Nullabore? Route 66? The Croatian Coast Highway? The further the better.

Riders who ride their ego rather than their skill level.

Went on a MV Agusta group ride. Split into several speed groups for the Gentle Annie. One returned via helicopter from the slow group.
Combination of causes for accident.

Long story short rider in front slowed down for corner and hes underestimated the speed reduction and run onto the grit to avoid rear ending.
All the normal group mistakes. Problem for me with groups is often the difference in skill levels and people not knowing each others riding style and ability.

My pet hates is the summer shorts and jandals brigade that have appeared again a couple of weeks ago.

The latest in skin graft repair involves the use of fish skin and scales over the bare flesh.
