Ya would have thought, just another day... well thats what I was thinking, as I left home, followed a undercover police car out of Waitara.. then I take the 3 mile junction turn off onto HW3a (Mountain road) heading towards inglewood.
Friendly wave to another motorcyclist whom I pass nearly every day (though I see he's disconnected his headlight.. as he's been having trouble with his electrics..) slow down and cruise through inglewood following a car, with another SUV following me. SO far all good. just another normal day. Heading out of inglewood, we see a truck and trailer unit (16 wheeler) up ahead 20-40metres or so, already on the left hand side of the passing lane, I pass the car easily, leave my indicator going because I intend on passing the truck also, I see a Milk tanker coming towards us, and I reckon I'll be in the middle of both trucks and all the air wash and spray, so I stick to the left abit.. and then as idiotic fucktard pulls out and passes the milk tanker.. with me frantically flashing the fucktard as I'm already alongside the trailer unit, I inch as close to the trailer as I could.. and I'm imagining me being somersaulted through the air, my loverly TL1000 doing the same thing.. and then me and bike being crushed by the 16 wheeler... I'm watching the guy continue pass the milk tanker.. he doesn't even flinch or anything as he's 4 inchs (which appears to be 1 inch to me) away from me... that close to ending my life.. and more than likely causing a major accident involving the two trucks...
I considered briefly of turning around and chasing and bashing them.. I was very hot under the collar for about 20 seconds.. before the realisation that they didn't even see me when I flashed my lights, and prolly didn't even notice the flash of red (my bike) between him and truck...
If I had been caning it, I wouldn't have stuck to the left of the road passing the truck.. luckily for me, I was being a nana and riding defensively.
anyway.. rant over..
Ride safe people. =)
