Murderous bitch in a SUV (12 March)

[avgas]

Meh get over it - learn to anticipate them, dont get cocky. And you'll live longer.
If you cant change the whole world - ride around it.

And there it is, the part of you that has nothing positive to say, not because there is nothing positive to say but because your own life is so pathetic you feel obliged to troll others.

I shall indulge you, once.
Anyone who knows me well enough to be in a position to say that I should slow down with any credence would know that I am the last person to tell to slow down.
Perhaps:
A you have led a blessed life and as such have never encountered such an experience.
B you have never lived in Auckland
C you have had thousands of these encounters and been too stupid to realise you were in danger.

In case you failed to read my thread I was riding legally, below the posted limit and at the second incident after being given a courtesy by a fellow motorist.

I indulge you for the catharsis not because I give a shit about you or your troll.

So what you are saying is that you ride a Hayabusa, around town, very slowly and with little awareness of other vehicles on the road?

How can you get yourself into trouble under 50 kph? I can piss faster than that. Your attitude towards me hints at the suggestion that you're riding angry. Give it up buster, you're never going to win a fight with a car.

Show some appreciation. I'm trying to save your life here.

Edit: You also might want to consider another bike for commuting. That thing must be a mule in traffic.

You know what they say, "Drive to the conditions, when they change reduce your speed."

I have to say I hate that stupid radio jingle. When the conditions change, reduce your speed, right? So, what if the conditions change from a rather wet gravel surface to a dry, recently resealed tarsealed road? Are you supposed to slow down even further from your crawl? I mean, I know what the jingle is trying to get across, but in their attempt to make it jingly and really bloody annoying they made it overly simplified. And did I mention annoying?!

Anyway sorry to hear about your close encounter Duc. Doesn't matter what you're riding, if someone intentionally tries to take you out they deserve a week in a cell with Buddy. Hope karma catches up with them mate. Still, happily you were unscathed, that's the main thing!

You would be advised not to do this at a service station where cameras may be filming you... Best to do this at a location where the departure is easily assured.
Plenty of posts about this procedure around here... "mirrorectomy" might be a search word to use...

What's really funny about this is that in the 18 months I've been riding (25,000 k's) I've never had a bad run in with a car. Sure some stuff happens but no more than when I'm driving my oversized SUV.

What's wrong with you guys? Do you look for trouble or is this just bullshit cause you got nothing else to start a thread with?

Gosh ..wow. A whole 25,000 k's. and only 18 months of riding. IMPRESSIVE on an "L Plate".... ...............Not.

You can take the trainer wheels off soon then tell the rest of us how to ride.

I thought you'd be impressed with 25000 k's in 18 months given you ride a Ducati. Bucket of bolts those things. I'd be surprised if you were able to make the first service let alone 25,000 k's.

And, for your information, I haven't had an L plate for over 12 months now and I'll have my full in June. I'll be upgrading the GN to at least a 600 but I still reckon I could take you on the Ginny.

Cretin is spelled with an I fartknocker.

And the Dover is back!!!!

[Guitana]

If we were'nt getting nearly taken out every day by other drivers Riding would be pretty boring!! Danger keeps you on the edge and sharp!!! I had a dickhead cut me off on saturday but was quite surprised to see when I pulled up beside him that his missus was tearing strips off him for it!!!
I almost felt sorry for him!!!!! Then it passed!

A GN250.... You want to "take me on your ginny" . What as a date or a pillion or something? I doubt we would get up Grafton Hll and I would have to get off and push. No thanx

It's not a scooter. It's 100% motorcycle buddy.

Hey did you hear about the National Ducati Rally last week in the South Island? 25 out of 100 bikes needed mechanical attention, most quite serious. They had a full time mechanic and a homosexual councillor for the rally. The councillor was the busiest.

(Shame ....she was a hottie too)

Thats awful. At least you got to have your say. By the
sounds of it I bet she didn't expect that ! - really gross tho how
she knew what she was doing..... she wasn't just an ignorant
blind driver but as you say, she was murderous.....scary
