It's not for any emphasis that I choose the words I do.

I'm a mechanic. We swear because we were taught to. (It's a known fact that tight bolts can be frightened into loosening).

Have had a similar thing happen to me, but by another biker. Three of us riding together, I was in front and overtook 3-4 cars (Ngatea Str8's) the other two came with me, I pull back in and get over to the left of my lane (give the others room if they need it) when on my left, I see one of the bikes undertaking me. I told him at the next stop ''dont ever fucken' do that again''. Dont think I have been riding with him since, eliminate the dickheads.

I had the exact same thing happen to me a while back on the road between Kawakawa bay and Kaiaua. I told the guy in question to either lead from the start or wait 'til I wave him through 'cos he scared the crap outta me and I nearly took the both of us out.

He didn't like hearing it but, to his credit, he took it on board and our whole group has noticed that he's riding more politely in the pack.

It was a real win, we still ride together and have the odd beer together and maybe we're all just a little bit safer.

That's what they called the TV show 'That's Incredible!' in Australia.

We've got the 'right' to do quite a lot of things but every now and then it would be better for all concerned not to be quite so vehement about exercising all our rights. Makes for getting on with each other better.

(I do appreciate that is stating the obvious...)

If wrongs can be righted (is that a word?) then all good.
I have been on several rides with this particular chap, and theres always something that he does, where I think mmmmmmmmm. He did apologise the last time but, I would rather not have guys like him in my zone.

But good on ya for sorting your differences out.

Until then - harden the fuck up.

"Until such times as we can talk to people that make the decisions that affect our lifestyle in a manner that is respectful and mature we'll continue to be seen as unworthy of serious consideration"

I wonder who that was?

I knew someone clever would come out with that.

But, it's not exactly the same scenario, is it?

As I've asked before - where do you think that hatred has stemmed from?

Envy possibly?

Thankfully the company I work for recently forbid using the cell whilst driving even though they provide one to every employee... suits me,any excuse to ignore the bloody thing...
