    eek I'm sorry....

    I'm sorry. I'm sorry that on my way to work this morning I was doing 65 in a 70 zone, with a damp road and a shiny new back tyre. I'm sorry I'm a learner rider with a big yellow 'L' plate hanging off the back of my bike. But most of all, driver of the big shiny silver car, I'm sorry that you are an arrogant and impatient tosser It is not cool to pass me on the left, IN MY LANE! You could have had the whole left hand lane to yourself, you didn't need to share MINE!
    I'm glad that I made it to work ok :

    What an utter cake-sucker.

    But, y'know, unfortunately the first of many you'll come across. A pity there isn't some form of hunting season on them- then you could have their heads mounted and stuffed or something. Conversation piece above one's fireplace, that sorta thing..?

    Well, everyone needs a hobby... pfffft.

    Anyway, you'll find that you get better at reading people's driving styles. Rearview mirrors are excellent pieces of kit; if someone's getting 'over familiar' with my rear end, for example, I usually try to pull over and let them carry on their way- and out of mine. It's safer (they obviously don't give a sh*t about other road users and don't mind driving dangerously.. hmmmm) and hopefully something really unpleasant awaits them ahead. Heh heh.

    You need to get those big blades refitted to the axles of your chariot. Barstools hate them & keep away.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    He squeezed in between you and the shoulder/curb? What a prick!

    Wish we were allowed to shoot back when that happens "Self-defence Your Honour, he threatened me with a lethal weapon and I was in fear of my life so I shot him as the law entitles me to..."



    Glad you made it out of the situation safely, Mencius

    Awww shit Ang, I am so glad that you are ok...
    What a horrible thing to have happen to you, especially when you have only just gotten your first bike and license...
    But welcome to the real world of riding.... it happens so often.....

    I thought Palmie drivers were slow drivers... lol.
    Well they used to be when I lived down there years ago... and each time I go back there its like fark move over and friggin speed up... they like to travel under the speed limit.... and right on the white line.

    Please dont be put off by this ignorant arsehole.....
    You just keep on riding.. and stay in your lane....

    Nah, two lane road, I was in the right hand lane and instead of just using the left hand lane to go past me, he used a large portion of my lane!

    Cheers, I'm pretty damn glad I made it out ok, considering I've only been riding less than a week!

    Your experience is also the reason that I am against 'L' plates. They say "Target". Lots of us here have had or know someone has, the very same happen. Reason #2 for wearing good strong boots.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I was contemplating keeping a few bolts taped somewhere on the bike within easy reach, and the next time some asshole decides to try and intimidate me with tailgating, I'll just flick a few back and he'll get some nice cracks in his front windscreen! Although, bolts might look too suspicious, maybe rocks would be better...
