Some one here had a sig that went:

Eh, they don't see trucks and trains and you expect them to see you.....

Saw a guy in a skyline rear-end two guys in a city or summit on the way to work this morning. Had stopped to fill up with gas, heard the crunch, and looked up to see the guy in the skyline swerve out round from behind the city and take off into the distance. I tried to run out to the foot path to get his rego as he drove off but with all my gear on wasnt quite quick enough. There's some wankers out there - be carefull.

Yesturday I was out on a ride with some of the Auckland Harley Owners Group and while we were parked at a little fish and chip shop on state 2 north of Bethlehem. There was a slight right hand bend uphill with a intersection on the left hand side. There was a van at the give way sign about to pull out on to state 2 when a guy on a BMW K1100 (boxer) came straight over the traffic island so fast that he was air born and left skidd marks on the road when he landed. straight across the kerb and in between two harleys where he dropped the BMW. He was lucky as there were 15 harley park in the OFF road carpark and he on left a slight mark on on for the harleys exhuasts. It just happen that this guy had not had the BMW for long and had just got a ticket at Bethlehem for speeding, 40 something over the limit and $500. You would have thought that he may have slowed down for a bit.

On the down side, they may have sustained an injury and their faculties will be worse than they were...!

I guess we need to rely on our superior accelration, braking and manoov... manoeur... ability to steer!

edit - I saw a guy in a black mitsi down Tamaki Drive the other day - he pulled out and was driving right up my bum... following me from lane to lane as I tried to let him pass. Then he turned on the red and blue lights ... BUGGER...

We put it down to someone with a bike they could handle and that he was too busy looking at the bikes going in the corner.

We all know that in corners you go where you look!

one guy on a beemer on a ride i went on with ulysses, came over a rise in the back of marton and binned it. i dunno how he managed it, blind rise with a fairly steep drop down the otherside of it, most of us crawled over that. hadnt had the bike long, so i guess too much power too soon.

got cut off by an old granny today going over a bridge after work. she didnt even look in my direction, just went. i used the horn [talk about a rain drop in an ocean for all the good that did!] and then sat on her ass before passing on the left as she turned up a side street.

also nearly got belted as a car on the forecourt decided to reverse with no brakes and backing lights. was following them going to work...bad drivers. some cagers piss me riiiight off. might as well be blind for all the looking they do.

I ran over thinking this was gonna be pretty messy.
Turns out noone was more than lightly bruised and shaken up.
But the cage drivers comment to the trucky -- Ohh baby she was a classic.
"sorry mate I diddnt see ya"
Seeems he pulled out of a sidestreet right in front of the truck.
Now that clown is shareing the roads with us --If he cant see a frigging 30 tonne semi what chance do us bikers stand.

No worrys,I know he's there.
