What is up with Onewa Road?

[Swoop]

Its an older model VW Golf, the square-ish looking ones..

Is it a convertible, they made a few of those?
I have not performed a mirrorectomy on the central mirror of a car, only wing mirrors, but a convertable would provide a new bit of fun!!!
I'm beginning to see the need to do a morning ride to the North Sore.

No... not convertable... just normal hatchback type ugly white VW...

I'm sure I've mentioned the tart before in another thread about Onewa Rd... It's an ongoing issue... And I've seen her cut off other bikers too, and theres heaps of bikers that go down/up Onewa Rd everyday, someone will eventually get pissed off enough and help her to be mirror free...

Surfer, you are right about Onewa Rd, it is a regular source of stress for many bikers in the mornings and evenings. Too many idiots in a small space with cages.Personally I avoid it, if I'm going that way now I take the road that brings you out at the bottom of the hill, Sylvan Ave I believe, much less stress.
Good onya for not getting flattened though, braking in a hurry must be interesting on the Chopper huh?

yep, Sylvan Ave. I take that way most of the time. You hit a cue that goes around a few corners waiting for the light, but just go up the side keeping to the centre line, there's only like 5 cars or so that might be comming the other way, and when u get to the end, there's heaps of room to split up the side with

I'll try Sylvan Ave.

Yeah, was interesting stopping and surprised i manged to stay up right. Lots of back brake helps.

Thanks for the help with the chain the other day, you are the man.

I was thinking about this last night, and came up with some ideas, like instead of tossing a brick through the window, just park one on the roof.
Or the "open the back door" idea: non-destructive, probably not illegal, and annoying as hell.
But neither of these give Mrs UrgleeWhiteVWDriver the message.

I quite liked the idea that was on here many moons ago about slapping a sticker on the windscreens of cars when their drivers did summat stupid.

How about a message like that one that pops up in the Image Gallery from time to time:
Stop Being a Cunt
