Temporary Kiwi?

Have a look in the service station thread, you will find this:

the guy was still in his car while swearing at me for passing him (and 5 other cars) at 150ish km/h on a nice righthand double-yellow-line sweeper...

Is it any wonder we get called temporary kiwis. Like most things, a group of people are labeled based on the lowest common denominator.

Considering that corner comes up a lot on the Hamilton Wednesday Night Rides at those sort of speeds, doing it in the daylight seemed more responsible than normal, and dude, I'm sure that if you were on that corner with those cars going that slow, you woulda done the same thing...

Maybe, but the longer you live the more you learn - well some of us anyway, littl' fizz pot

haha, one time someone did the whole "Cigarettes can kill", I blew smoke in their face, looked really strangely at them, and said "It's not f**king working..." and walked off.

Think again. I value my license and my life.

So you've never done over 100km on a nice road?

Translation the way I see it:
I want to live as long as possible, but I'm not gonna be a pussy... I'm gonna have fun... when it's your time, it's your time

We will be temporary kiwis if we choose to be... just as any car driver will - or pedestrian for that matter.

It's a challenge from them to you to stay safe. Treat it that way and you'll be fine. I am... and will be for a long time to come. Note me tempting fate? BRING IT ON!

Temporary kiwi my arse.

I don't know the piece of road we're talking about but. Doesn't sound that dangerous to me. Have to watch out for unmarked HP though.

As long as you can see the road ahead and give yourself plenty of space.
