BLOODY CAGE DRIVERS

[Devil]

1. People in cars should really look at their own behaviour when it comes to the concept to bikes passing. Society is becoming very selfish, which brings me to my second point.
2. This person above is also selfish. The open road speed limit is 100km/h. So why does this person think that the "fast lane" is there for cars or bikes to speed?!?!? I lothe driving through the AKL motorway due to this fact. I like to sit in the inner most lane that you like to call "the fast lane" at between 100km/h to 110km/h. I will NOT move over for anyone wanting to go faster. If you want to break the law, drive around me and carry on. Why is it that people like whats quoted above think that the "rules" don't apply to them?!?!?! In my opinion this makes you in the same boat as the poor minded fool that the thread starter was complaining about. So this one is just for you and your kind
If people looked at themselves instead of complaining about others, considered the laws and grew moral life would be so easy. (er not saying that I allways to 100km/h on my bike, so perhaps I'm poor minded also?)

What a cunt.

Maybe you need some stickers in your car to remind you of the road rules. "Keep left unless passing".

Cage drivers
On sunday some bitch at the big roundabout in the Hutt pulled out, stopped then pulled out again into a pushie! I was 2 vehicles behind in Pinky and couldn't believe what was happenin! guy ends up on bonnet... I block a lane and she goes to drive off... no way lady!!! so she stops and I say to the guy "i'll be a witness" (can see heaps over little cages in pinky) lady says not her fault... some nobhead in a 4wd says " I'll be a witness, the bike should have indicated..." I went up to the fucker and yelled in his face " are you that stupid you fucking moron?" so he left. dunno bout you but I still haven't seen a treadly wif indicators!.. I called the cops who asked me if the bike was already in the roundabout when cage driving lady pulled out "yup" cheers says plod... all done
Pushie guy also rides a motorcycle so he was pretty cool... shame about his carbon race bike that he'd just clocked up 101ks on (owned for a week)... $8500 fucked by some stupid old bitch who wouldnt admit she done anything wrong!!!!
If it had of been a m'cycle, the damage to the bloke woulda been a lot more!

omfg! The last two days have been fucking crazy. Yesterday some cunt in a large bmw 4x4 pulled out of a side road right in front of me, looking the other way as he did so, i was only doing about 70km/h but he did it at the last minute, i locked up the back and missed him by about 2m, along side his drivers door and he still didnt see me, just kept on driving oblivious!

Then today i've had three cars do the same, i've got my light on high beam so its not like im not trying to be visible.

Have i died and not noticed it???

I almost feel like hitting them in a fashion that will total my bike and do some hefty damage to their remuera taxis, but leaving me in a fit state, put a nice hole in their pocket and a dent in their concience,

What the fuck is wrong with cagers!?!?!?

like i said in an early thread there is a reason its called the silly season, peoples driving seam to get worse this time of year.

Brains turn off seems to be a good answer.

[Quasievil]

Definately the time of year people, cagers are just not thinking about us poor old vunerable bikers it seems, all I can say is take extra care, we dont want any injuries for Xmas do we now

I've had a few incidents too (especially lately), and while I understand how angry these acts of stupidity can make us, just remember that we are very vulnerable on our bikes, so cutting people off, kicking their cars, etc. could very easily just result in the nutter behind the wheel going off his head and running into us or whatever.
The thing is too, that 9 times out of 10, the F-wit s that do these stupid things like cutting us off etc. seem to have the opinion that they're driving well, and/or have a real attitude problem, so if you retaliate for their mental driving, they'll act like it's you who are in the wrong, and get even more aggro.

Not worth the risk, if you ask me.

Just hope that somewhere along the line the pick these sort of people up and they get what's coming to them, unlikely though it is...

Well put Vman. Self preservation is the 1st priority. The nutters will collect the consequences of their bad karma eventually....

Im calm and collected, but would you believe this, I ride home for lunch down Avalon Drive in Hammy a 80 kmph road, doing the limit in the wet. I go into a corner come out of it taking a good line cause of the rain, and there is a car passing me on the inside. this is for real, I havent just lost my marbles or anything, the driver must have assumed I was stopping or pulling over or something, who knows?

My reaction ? well I calmy rode next to the driver window at the next intersection while stopped, and gave a long hard stare over a very upright finger.

I then went home collected my parcel (new Helmet ) and left the car at home and jumped in the 4x4 thinking I might as well hang up the helmet for a few days. just to dodgy it seems:spudwhat:

And to top it off a Biker has just arrived at work after crashing on his ride up from Rotorua:spudwhat:

Hasn't happened to me for a while but I did get undertaken by some silly cow a few years ago on Tamaki Drive (she used the very left hand side of the road demarcated for parking spaces). What worried me the most when I pulled up next to her was the complete look of indignation that I would yell at her! (no concept of endangering me, completely illegal)

Jolly season of the year.

Every mums and middle-age-crisis guys are in a CHRISTMAS SHOPPING rush and they are frustrated enough about their noisy kids to not worry about the roads around them.
It is but a sad fact of life and part of the jolly season of the year. Let's get on with it and stay alive coz our complaints would not get anywhere.

Also while we're at it, yesterday on Wakefield St I was in my BIG white car and some stupid lady just cut me off....then move to the left....and cut me off AGAIN. Yeh.....nearly crash TWICE in the space of 10 seconds. And you know why? BECAUSE SHE'S ON HER DAMN PHONE

If she can't spot a BIG WHITE SUPRA WITH LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM AND HORN BLARING then good luck to you guys on bikes with black gears

[Quasievil]

Im in the 4x4 now with really big bull bars, so no one should fuck with me going home tonight !!

hear you - but can't help thinking that the motorist with the dents/missing mirror will be a bit more aware of wots outside their 4 walls in future. I was shepherding my wife while she learned to ride a few years back maybe the 'L' plate said 'target' but I was amazed at the actions of some car drivers & had to remind one that we had a right to the road as well. I'm sure he changed his habits after his panel beater handed him the bill !!

Yes but you havn't been riding for a while either .

I have happened to noticethe crazyness of people and with the school holidays upon us there are a lot more housewives with big rolling deathtraps on the road with a load of kids and totally oblivious to everyone else on the road. If i go riding around botany i have a couple of close calls a day, especially when you get people going 50km/h in a 70 zone and the person next to them is doing the same. Or they decide to pull out and buy the time you reach them they are just about to accelerate.And then there are the people who apparently don't have working indicators. I think i have scared the shit out of a few people when i have nowhere to go and they start moving over into my lane , i drop a gear and scream passed, it must be interesting having a motogp only inches away. Idiots
