    The delay builds a sense of entitlement.

    Which disregards the safety of the risk taken.

    i'd be saying you're the cunt here.
    Fuck trailer pulling mobile chicanes. Those cunts should be made to stick to main 2 or more lane highways or be made to travel in the wee hours.

    Unfortunately there will always be dumb shits riding in dumb ways and doing dumb shit stuff.. It's unavoidable. We've got a stretch of road over here which is single lane in either direction, lots of blind corners, a rock cliff-face on one side and a combination of rock wall and wire-rope barrier on the other, always full of tourist traffic and even riding through at a considerable rate of knots (sensible for the amount of run-off you don't have, mind) you'll almost always have some hero on a Gixxer or something come flying past on the wrong side of the road, towards a blind corner, with nowhere to go if they fuck it up.

    Did they leave? Or get kicked or something? Haven't heard anything in a while

    Not everyone in this world aspires to live in perfection with a 24/7 within 100meters, in fact some of us don't want that sort of life.

    That's average weekend behaviour in my book, gets worse during holiday periods. Try driving a truck over that bit of road, some folks just "have to be" in front, even if it risks life and limb

    If you only like riding on multi-lane highways ... it might seem like one ...

    But being (currently) one of the two main highways into Wellington ... it gets a fair bit of traffic ...

    ride through the black forest, then comment on what is wrong with 8ft wide tarseal on each lane. PS on the Rimatukas you dont have to shut the gates.

    Rimutakas

    The Rimutakas are awesome compared to when I did my traffic cop motorbike training there back in the day. Last rode there a few years back and I was gob smacked at how good the improvements had been.

    Doesn't matter the road, there will always be risk takers. And some ride bikes.

    Remember going over it on the Police driving course back when there was a dedicated driving school at wgtn south, nice road but shitty old Holden's that was fun
