    Angry Dicks in cars!

    Am I the only one or has anyone else experienced this? You go out for a ride on a fine day with your mate and just for fun you hit the Rimutakas for the sheer joy of it - swift but not racing. Then some plonker in a car chooses to proove that he can foot it with a car to show just you how quick he is, so he tailgates you.

    The last time this happened to me I was on a restricted licence, i.e. all but a learner, but because I had a sport bike then that dick assumed I wanted a race - actually I was commuting at 7 a.m! I let him go.

    Today I put a couple of vehicles between us for my own safety and pulled over at the top to let him go.

    Here's to you Joe Speed

    For some reason I found Subaru drivers the biggest when it came to that.....they must have to compensate for something they are lacking i guess...

    Buying an inside straight, royal flush, full house, three of a kind, pair, or high card....throw your hand in, pull over and let him/her pass. You did the right thing.

    Heads Up and Enjoy

    your the bigger man for letting him pass, cages are too big and clumsy ive had several instances where a cage thinks there fast and racing me when they almost swerve into me for some stupid reason.best to let them go race another cage.

    'Tis funny, I don't seem to have that happen, cars can't pass where bikes can.

    Just make sure that there isn't a Solberg on the back window he may return the favour


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    Happend to me a couple of times. I ride the hill quick but not what I'd call fast, then you get some dick in a Subaru or whatever thinking you want to race him.

    Worst one I had the Missus on the back going to the Martinborough fair just taking it easy. So I pulled over to let him go, then he slowed me up on the downhill so I passed him again.

    Few years ago when I owned a GSXR1100 L and my mate had a GSXR750 we took our gf over the Kaimais for lunch at Tauranga. Just after racing through scotsman valley we headed over to Matamata and then started up the Kaimais.

    I remember overtaking a black car at the bottom of the Kaimais and didn't think anything of it just another cage. I was wrong.

    Turn out said cage driver didn't like to be overtaken by 2 bikes and at the top just as i was pulling in to the race line on a left hander noticed same black car in mirror racing up inside attempting to ram me. Hauled arse out of the way to let the bastard undertake me and then the prick tried to do the same to my mate in front. Fortunately mate seen what had happened and let him go.

    Caught up to the bastard a little later on stuck in traffic. Girlfriend very quick to give the big middle finger.

    Had a few wankers try the ZZR11......dickheads.

    We were following a Civic up the Taka's on Sunday who were trying to show off to us. You can't impress anyone by passing a B-train stock truck around a blind right hander though. F**ken idiots! Thought we were about to see a head on!

    Went out for a spin last night and the rain came down heavily while I was in a twisty bit..made me ease off..ended up with a car pretty close behind me..wasn't going to push it in the dark and the rain, pulled into a driveway, let him pass and then the rain stopped! All of a sudden I was stuck behind the cage with dry roads (the rain hadn't got that far yet) so sometime ye canna win.

    Bloomin' localised Auckland rainfall!

    Go riding waaaay out in west auckland... the whole lot are mad men, even in the 50k zones, had cars come round corners mostly on my side, mates have had it, a mate who lives out that way had it done to him, and ended up going off the road...

    Now I know the roads... never had one match me
