And we wonder why bikers get a bad rep

**soundbeltfarm** · 18th November 2007, 19:10

Today i was taking the kids up to the MX and coming up to a corner coming the other way some dick wad came flyin around the corner on a bike right in my lane.
he was to hot into the corner ran wide and almost ate my bull bars.
i swerved into the bank on side of road so i would'nt smoke him and then the arse stopped looked back then took off.
hope you reading this mate because i got your number so expect a visit.
scared the shit out of my kids they still talking about it.
then on way home alot of traffic got caught behind a tractor and these 2 dicks on bikes just went flying out to pass on a blind corner, car comes other way and had to hit the picks, the line i was in braked hard just so these 2 could live to ride another day.
i bet all the cars in that incident would've thought "fucken bikers "
i know we always go on about non motorcylists being the cause of most accidents but today it could've been 2 accidents both caused from idiots on bikes.

Rant over.

agree to a point.
my two boys love motorcyclists but after today the oldest was saying to me "dad why do they ride like that, dont they care if they crash into anyone or hurt themselves"and he also asked why the rider didn't come to see if we were ok since we went onto the bank"

Actually I did my bit the other day for driver/rider relations. I took TSS's demo Tuono for a blast up Normandale/Maungaraki. I think someone called it a hooligan bike. There is no better description. I broke more laws in that 20 minutes than I do on a normal commute to work!

not sure if the guy in my lane was local.
was not far from home and i've never seen that bike around here before.
was a trumpy.

im sure he shat his pants , and i reckon thats why he didn't come see if we were sweet, luckily we didn't hit hard and bars took all the brunt.

Must admit that since I've been caged, I've noticed a fair bit of retarded riding behaviour. Although I see much more from cagers up these ways that many other parts of the country. I also wonder sometimes how these individuals got hold of a licience.

Shame, but you get wankers in all genres. I nearly had a big punch up at Lyall bay once thanks to a couple of self described "surf Nazis"

The thing is the guys on bikes you saw today are probably bragging about their heroics right now. Floggers.

With feeling and not without reason. Having said that I've screwed up and gotten away with it, as have we all.

Nope. We are to blame for the majority of our accidents. Other road users causing it is a myth. Single vehicle accident stats for motorcyclists are horrendous.
