Grampa Slofox's Handy Hints
1. How to impress cage drivers at night:
If you want to impress cage drivers when on the main highway at night (not sure why you'd want to, but there ya go), come up behind them with your headlight on full. Don't dip it - keep it up there ashinin' in his mirror. He'll love being blinded by your brilliance. Make sure you get up as close behind him as you can and just stay there - do not under any circumstances pass him, even if he moves left to let you through. He wants you sitting there right on his bumper with your light blazing into his eyes...coz that gives him a primo chance to suddenly slam on his brakes and cause you to rear-end him and fall off into all the following traffic while he hoofs it and disappears up the road into the night...ain't that a good idea?
Whoever it was behind me and herself last night on SH1 between Huntly and Ngaruawahia had obviously read this tip before. Had I not been a fellow biker I might well have been tempted to do the brake thing...bastard! No wonder cagers think bikers are dorks...(rant rave roar snort etc etc)
