Weaving around in your lane a lot keeps them away

Also, having my L plate on has gotten me out of 2 fines so far...

So there is a use for the L plate!

To the poster:

Get a tinted visor so u can turn around and stare at tailgaters, they back off pretty quick when you do that! Worked everytime for me so far.

Keep your cool cos the moment you do something out of anger is the moment Mr Plod is around the corner or the unexpected happens.

Expect the unexpected

It Auckland, its how we live here. I like the analogy of the knight, keeps the adrenaline flowing. Act like you own the road.

Pre-empt every move the cars around you could make, always look for your out should the worst happen.

All this just takes time on the road. Be thankful you are learning in a busy place that keeps you alert, its worse going from a quiet town (like Alexandra

) to Auckland. If you can survive the wankers in Auckland you can survive anywhere. Adapt or be hit

Nice bike btw, ignore the jibes

You also stare at the girls ass or chest right next to you, till the lights change. They start looking pretty flustered after 10 seconds

However, with a male in the car, it is not advised. Especially not when he's driving by himself, you're jsut asking for a sore bum.

id give it a go if there was a guy in the car with the gurl. Then you can piss him off more as you pull away from the lights, then again as you filter up the next set to repeat at the next hot chic. Always good to check out the many nice girls i see around auckland. Even have the odd convo at the lights real quick

can only imagine how that quick convo at the lights would go

But I will take this chatting-in-front-of-males challenge on... ROLL ON SATURDAY!

Dnt know bout the chatting-in-front-of-guys thing would go down so well, its the chatting to the carload of girls that works better but BIG UPS to you for taking the challenge

going completely offtopic as we do in KB, has anyone had a pleasant chat with another car on the motorway in rush hour??

Are you coming to the 250 ride 2day?? Meet at Mt Eden Motorcycles at 1030am for a ride with 250s

I'm not crazy/godly enough to attempt moving conversation!

Glen... EDEN! That's like. THIS! \________(>_<)________/ Far away!
I would, but I've got a party to go to iiiiin... just a smidge under 30 minutes now. I hate some people, i really do.

Hmmm. I must find congested roads.

Hey, try this:
Remove your tail light cover (the red bits) and replace it with a CLEAR one, then put a Xenon bulb in. This will effectively tell whoever is tailgating, following behind, stalking...etc your bike to Back Off

. Nothing serious, it will just blind them enough into a safer distance.

P.S. Just an opinion, do it at your own risk
