    The other one that makes me cringe is scooters whizzing down the left hand side of waiting traffic at full speed....




    BTW: 4skins and me will be in the big smoke this weekend. Wanna try and git together fer a beer?

    These are the same tastless types that dress like tubes of tooth paste an then have the gaul to critisize others.

    Sorry the tassel remark was just me being a smart arse....nothing against tassels at all....

    Just unfortunately associate them (probably very unfairly) with U-syllies riders on Fat Boys....

    It's OK for anyone to do it, providing they're not surprised when somebody pulls left or opens a car door....

    Well, I was a little surprised. Thank goodness (or God/Satan/Allah) for leathers and kneepads. Oh yeah - and those stupid heavy-duty stainless steel mufflers (made by Sankei, y'know) that Honda fit to FireStorms.

    The funniest one was when I was sneaking between stopped cars and parked cars, and bumped the parked Volvo's mirror. The woman inside couldn't do anything, so she knocked on the window at me.

    Shit,I took out a pushbike once in a campervan who was doing that - I turned left (indicating) as he was trying to break the land speed record all tucked in.I felt bad about it,but if you're doing that sort of stuff it pays to keep your head up and eyes forward.

    I made a free weekend for a change - why don't you guys make a mess of it,I'll PM my contact details.

    Don't tell im' I told ya' this but mate Lee was once lane spliting on a scooter when a fool in a van opened the door on him.
    He ended up at the head of the line with the car door hanging around his neck.Good thing the window was open huh.
    Lee is not a small fella aye.

    I sometimes do this in the wet, especially after filling up, as the bottom of my boots get real slippery and dont grip the pegs until they have had a little scrubbing.
