Why do cars just wanna always take on the bike?

Yep,
Nothing like inflating someones ego by blowing smoke up their arse for making them overlook minor discretions.

Hey whatever works aye. Ive come up with some crackers over the years but never really needed to over the last 10 odd years

It actually wasnt. he was geninuely pissed off his ride didnt stop fast enough and then started out on the Auckland coppers giving him a shit car. I played the violin a bit louder and he liked the tune! It does seem like theres not much room to move these days. Like you gota know the cop or have a really believable excuse, "honestly officer, she is in labour", " cant you see the way shes holding on!"

Double lucky mate, really that is sooo lucky it aint funny, you could of been walking if you got the wrong cop.

Only ever had 1 other random bike HAVE A GO at me, back on the thread. It was when the Triumphs first come out and I was coming down the Bombays heading into AK and this guy comes past, outside lane flying, throws on the piks alongside me and goes the full "Matrix" wave on..."Come keanau.....follow me. Hell what a mad guy. Speeds too fast for me and he was bolting from the outside lane undertaking 3 lanes of cars on the shoulder. I was stoked he pulled off and disappeared at greenlane. Used half a tank of gas, in about 15mins and sweated bullets the rest of my trip over the bridge.

I just love this thread, keep all the stories coming. There's only way of looking at it though. Even though we know our bike will basically eat anything, its THE BLOODY CAGES who always start this "rev rev" thing. The stories of leading them staright into an unsuspecting cop, or the cop taking off after the car are just priceless. So I have another to add to the mix:

Would have been 2 yrs ago. Coming back through Texas near Macdonlads rd I pull out to pass 2 cars, sweet as ticking over and see this BATMOBILE do the big pull out, overtake and muscle in on my back wheel as I'm coimng up pn another group of 3 cars about 200m ahead.
Now I was just trying to be nice and mellow and lined up this next group and went for the pass at about 120-130, nice and eay like. Well fark me, the drug dealer in the RX8 leaves it late and starts coming at me fast as I'm just about to pass the last car and pull in. Now this is where it gets mad, picture this. As i'm passing the commodore, the RX8 overtakes us on the outside shoulder passing both of us at once, I look accross to see the priceless look in the eyes of this mufti who was tucking into a double decker chocolate chip ice cream deciding to toss it out the window and give chase.
I saw that and thought fark it, i'm not letting the cage away with that, and shit that was a cop, all at the same time! I was on an 89 Fj1200 and took this first sweeping corner at 180 with the RX still pulling. The cop by this time, tosses the lollie and is after us. I catch up a bit to Batman coming past awakeri hot pulls and into the wee bendies before the turn off and the bacon has been burning. As I pull up at the STOP sign the RX8 is sideways up towards the shell awakeri and is copper on my tail, hard out flashing his lights at me (I'm copped I thought!) BUT NO. He roared off in a cloud of fat towards WHK after the dodgy black batmobile while giving me the "shaky pointy finger".(The, you're lucky mate, you know the one) Needless to say I turned off and backroad shuffled it all the way home laughing theough my helmet at 100k's. Priceless. He would have been busted when he got to town anyway, not many maoris with latemodel RX8's in Whaka's. hey, who laughs last laughs loudest.

Just a bit of info for ya here....

Batmobile's are RX7's.....only the latest one is rx8 and thats not batmobile shape, batmobile shape is series 7 rx7.

I stand corrected, it was however black and flying straight out of TeTeko looking very out of place at the time. I'd never seen one up close....thats why I chased it to have a squizz

Old age and cunning beats youth and beauty every time! Did you tootle him melodiously as you cruised past?
