    You know what. Keep a bagfull of rocks on your tank and chuck them at those cagers when they do something stupid. Or just use ur fist and slam on top of their roof.

    So tell me how it went , AFTER you went to check out a "wright" spa pool.....
    Be interesting...
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    she would come out better off....when she was standing still, and you could slowly overtake her.....thats when sometimes car mirrors get caught into something....

    Sometimes you gotta be nice..

    And sometimes you don't....

    Hiding along in a line of cars, on an usealed section of road works on Yaldhurst road in a 30 kph zone, I was passed by a lady in a green falcon doing 60 to 70 at a guess and I got nicely showered with gravel...Was I impressed?

    How do some people get a License? I got my Kyrgyz license a few weeks back....cost me USD 300....no test questions, test drive or anything...Thats how!

    Well, I bought mine from this guy at the pub. He didn't seem that dodgy at the time, but perhaps I'd had more beers than I thought....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I have had a similar experience with the gravel. I try to stick to the speed limit on the gravel...as its not too fun on a bike (mind you..getting pretty good at it now, seems you have to in NZ, road works are everywhere, they never seem to finish one stretch before they start another one..arghh!) But the cars seem to think your going too slow and they just overtake you. Spew stones up everywhere. Don't you just hate the sound of stones hitting your bike...worst sound ever!!

    I'm always thankful for my bike kit and helmet on those days - dont feel the stones too much. But it always bemuses me when I see one of those bad ass chopper riders with their half helmet and bandana, jeans and a singlet heading in the opposite direction - coz I know the stones are gonna hurt! Idiots...

    Even little bugs hurt at high way speeds ...those harley riders must be real tough men.

    I collected two ducks in the face one time, wearing a full face helmet....didn't feel a thing....until I regained consiousness...

    Had a spate of rides where every time a kamakazee bird would fly right in my path. Let me tell you a bird hitting you at speed in the boob does hurt - truely. Oh and birds die. Lets see a jacket that can deal with that

    I dunno if it their license

    so much as the fact they are just complete idiots. Yesterday major accident scene ambo's parked middle of the road, traffic backed up a good 800 metres to traffic lights.
    Car sitting at light that goes green but cannot proceed as no room to enter intersection, other cars across intersection inch foward leaving enough room for 1 vehicle to fill gap so guy proceeds slowly, next second a middle aged woman floors it through the intersection blasting her horn at him, abusing him and tryin her hardest to pass him on the left.
    He moves slightly so that she can now see all the traffic and the flashing lights ahead.
    I swear I visibly saw her shrink and go a good shade of scarlett and yolk.

    Lol Auckland is awesome fun! I remember heading into town and the offramp lane was really backed up but traffic was still going a good 80 and I couldn't stop in time so I cruised beside the offramp until there was like a car-length gap and I pulled in making sure I wasn't making any cars stop for me. The lady behind me started going completely mental yelling out stuff and signalling her annoyance.

    I was like wtf settle grettle! So to make sure I really didn't slow her down I let her pull up beside me, I openly laughed out loud and smiled at her, then split to the front of the lights. Seeee ya!

    Agree totally !!
    I would have visited their premises, faked interest in a spa pool and then asked to see the manager to see what sort of deal I could get. Be a bugger if she WAS the manager !!!
