Safety message for splitters talking off at the lights

[Finn]

Not everybody in cars drives like a pussy from the green. I gave this chap a hell of a fright this morning when I nailed it from the lights to catch another set of lights 100 metres ahead. He looked awkward and not quite sure what to do as I was in front and he was still riding in the middle so he thought giving me the finger was his best defense. He would have seen me laughing at this stage.

When I've split and in front of the queue, I always nail it until I'm sure I have cleared people like myself who don't wait for paint to dry before getting to the speed limit.

were you on the street magic?

[Crisis management]

Well, he can't have been on the Harley.....

[Finn]

were you on the street magic?

Yeah, the 4 wheeled one. Funnily enough, I told my mates last night that the black beast had arrived and turned up on the Magic which they didn't know I owned.

I would've liked to have seen that.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Mr Finn. I nearly got caught out last week when taking off from the lights and the guy on my right decided it was a race, and nearly hit me. Luckily, his vehicle wasn't a Mighty SUV like yours, and a little twist of the wrist was all I needed to make sure I was out of the way.
I've also stalled it a few times taking off from the lights, after splitting to the front.
The VFR's quite happy taking off with very few revs on board, but sometimes I've been a bit dozy. Great, innit? Split to the front, then stall on the line. Not a good look...

[Finn]

I left plenty of room for him, it just gave him a fright. He was never in any danger and I wouldn't have a go at a fellow biker. Now had he have been on a scooter, that's another story.

[Finn]

hahahaaa good shit

They looked like stunned mullets. After a moment of silence, "What the fuck is that?"

Yeah, but were they surprised to see the bike?

[TOTO]

he probably taught you were racing him or you are angry at him trying to get your position. I would have taught the same thing. Human nature if you like.

Yep, this fucks me right off too. Just because we're in a car doesn't mean we dont like to give it a blat.

Biggest bug bear, the people who split up the middle and then pull infront of your lane. Just stay in the middle you cunt!

I always do.
I know that cagers appreciate unmuffled exhaust noise and gasses coming at them at window height.

Get fucked!
I don't usually do this, but there are places where I do, because I think it's safer, like turning right into the top of Glenfield Road. If I sit to the left of the right-turning lane, then I either have to squeeze in behind the person at the front, or go around the outside (like the buffalo girls). Either of these strikes me as more dangerous. I've been clipped by people taking off and jumping the green when I'm sitting between lanes - my safety comes before any irritation me parking in front causes.
I don't see how it hurts - there's no way I hold up the person at the front of the queue, as I'm sitting there, bike in gear, with the clutch just on the friction point, and I'm off around the corner before they've even gone, "Uh.... oh yeah.. the light's green!"
I don't get it?
Why would this bother you, Mr Devil? Please explain.

Qualification: Turning lanes dont count :P

Straight ahead lanes. Just stay out of the way!
