Lanesplitting

[_Gina_]

Didnt see you.

Dont remember having no gap either side, bloody cautious this morning. Traffic was horendous.

Sweet, wouldn't have been you behind me then !

Was splitting through and then had a moment where the trucks were three wide with no gap on either side! Came through a little earler this morning for a meeting.

Trucks always make me a little nervous. They are so big and I am so small. 3 wide and I wouldnt be in a hurry.

On that new stretch at Otahuhu I got pinned behind a cager who insisted that he had the right to wander in lane and a truck in the centre.

Another truck sounded his horn, inside lane, and through gestures made me aware of lots of space in front of him

Thanks to that driver. Must have been a bike rider.

overtook two traffic bikey cops this morning.. one had pulled someone over, the other just before the "hamilton" off ramp to get on southern from the nw...

traffic was nasty this morning... got even worse when I got to epsom... seems everyone is so stuck up and poncey there! Some fruitloop of a woman driver cut me off on epsom ave... collected her mirror with my arm during my 'evasive action' .. stupid biatch! Ran into uni (was running late) and ahhhh.... 8:40am... damit. missed the start of lecture. Couldnt walk in late because i was in full bike gear and would have made so much noise with velcro and pants removal etc I would have annoyed everyone... meh... missed a class in the first fricking week.. great..

did not see ANY other bikes this morning though which was strange... (apart from bikey cops)

I have noticed the same on the NW. Afternoons as well.
I am doing my best to add to the lack of bikes, by sitting in the cage and cursing honda electronics.

did a small amount of splitting on the way home from my grandmothers today and i found all trucks but 1 were very accomadating(sp) for me and was only behind them for short time before they noiced me and made room very good truckies!!

[Fatjim]

Was doing 140ish the other day lane splitting traffic on the motorway. The only danger in this was I didn't get a clear view of the cop till he was at my 9 o'clock.

Lucky Hitcher wasn't in front of me or I wouldn't got away.

[SPman]

Did he have a beard?

Wasn't Noel Walker was it?

[RT527]

LOL

You might have seen me this morning on the ZXR......
I will look out for you tomorrow morning!
It is much appreciated when trucks, especially, move over for ya

I have taken to tucking my wing mirrors in when people move over to try and block you coming through, I am sure it looks hardcase as!!

G

No worries, More to the Point Ill look out for you guys....I drive a Mack vision (has a bonnet) its an 8 wheeler tractor and 4 axle flat deck trailer and I work for provincial....theres two trucks exactly the same in our fleet so if you see one and the driver has a beard then its not me.

I don't always go to Auckland either I'm often down in Tauranga.

Safe lane splitting guys and girls.

How is the sixpack trained stomach Dover..............

[McJim]

I'm finding the lanesplitting a lot easier than before Chrimbo - the cars are keeping good distances between lanes. Still get the odd lane wanderer but Tend to sit in their mirrors until they move over and off I go again.

I stick to some of the rules mentioned by D50.

[Pancakes]

The trucks are good but don't count on it (don't count on anything). The cars are dopey and I wish people would stop looking for bikes and just go straight or indicate then turn. The ones that see you seem to have no idea about target fixation, they just stare and get closer and closer. The only people I have problems with are the young guys in plumbers (and sparkies and builders etc) vans who have been coming damn close with what can only be a deliberate swerve, see them seeing me in the mirror (big van mirror) I get close then a sharp jerk on their wheel not followed by a lane change. People being dopey people sucks but really we know to expect it. Some one trying to take me out (or pretending just to intimidate) will get me fricken fired up. I normally just keep passing then split on but slow cos they pissed me off which is no good for the smooth riding mojo. From now on I have decided to follow them and when I see a cop just sit on the horn and point. Who knows what they'll do, I hope they'll stop them even if it is just to shut me up. I'll let you all know how it goes!

Lanesplitting, like high jump, is a game of centimetres.
