Don'cha just hate it when...

**slofox** · 26th February 2009, 12:09

I have the odd pet hate when riding...and I wondered what other people have as their pet hates....

Current No 1. One of the routes I ride regularly has a wonderful corner just before the end of the ride. I look forward to hitting this one every time I take that ride. Lovely smooth seal, not usually much traffic, a chance to get the bike over and power through...

...the hate? When I anticipate this corner all through the ride, only to get to it and discover my way blocked by other traffic...and I have to putter round it like an old grampa...frustration that lasts most of the day...

So what's yours?

The same thing.

Theres some tight corners on the way out to Turangi but just as you approach them there will be either roadworks or people who like to take corners at about 30kph.

Same thing. My ride home consists of 90% motorways, so when there's traffic on my closing corners it makes me want to crush skulls.

You know, I think it's everyone's pet hate.

One of the reasons I avoid Paremata Rd now that they've put double yellows right through.

Grays Rd is usually mostly carfree at the time I go home.

CARS & COPS !!!

Oh, and potholes, grrrrr.

--- unless I'm in my mini cooper going as fast as I can on a winding road with no one else around trying to go sideways.... completely contradictory I know...

Thats why they should have an only all bike day on our roads then you wouldn't have to put up with slow cage drivers doing 30k's around corners. Nothing more frustrating than coming up to your favourite piece of road and having someone in front of you who doesn't know the road and driving like everyday is a Sunday.

when you've striiped and cleaned your bike ready to paint and your dad comes through and crc's it.

Sounds like the bastard needs some discipline.
I hope you put him on the naughty seat for a few hours.

When you think the Rego's fine until September 'coz there's a little hole where the number 9 is on the sticker, but you check the back one day to notice the pillock punched the wrong month. Rego's due next week, front tyre will need replacing.

When they decide that now is the right time to rip up the seal on your favourite road. In a cage I love gravel, haven't mastered it on the bike yet!!

**CrazyFrog** · 26th February 2009, 16:01

I love gravel, hell, even roadworks don't bother me, but what I hate is really shithouse patch sealing jobs, lumpy as hell with an eclectic mix of tar seal, ashphalt and whatever else they can throw into the bitumen.....and always in the middle of the "best" lines thru a corner. Fulton Hogan excel in these down our way
