Being undertaken by another bike is not funny!

[Dean]

I really wish you would shut the fuck up every time someone in the north island mentions a confrontation or experience with another person, rather offering anything from physical assistance to counseling via PM

I know a guy who plays Hockey profeshionally in north Shore, Ive been to his games, also know a guy who played the Aucks tournament representing wgp college.
Im not meaning to be violent, I probably have met the guy and will start up a good convo about this thread and just put in a little hint that he should not undertake.

[Love my Bonnie]

This wonderful creature lives in Franklin.
I know his parents.

As far as im concerned this guy is lumped in the same catagory as those foreigners who forget which side of the road they are meant to drive on over here! I don't think you can control everything or every incident you can see as potentialy dangerous, usually something good will come out of it, like this motorcyclist will die by his wrong doing and not involve anyone else, or the tourist will end his life banging into a very large truck, not a motorcyclist.

Im guessing the odds are you haven't 1000's of teenages play hockey and just because you know 2 of them - it dosnt mean that you are going to know all the rest.

Because I went to the games and interacted with the players, so many faces I saw and remember.

Never pass on the left...fit a Stebel horn for the road hogs and mirror ignorant, but never overtake on the left....never

I would have thought that everyone knew this!

[Tone165]

Well, if its illegal, then the policy missed about 9 trillion ticket opportunities on the Bikoi, hell, the Savage on my left all the way fown the Foxton Straights is liable for at least 300 tickets alone.

Yup....

I gave a fella a mouthful when he came alongside of me.....when he did it again I reached over and turned off his Kill-switch, fortunately he got the idea after that.

I understand the frustration when a slower vehicle blocks the road...but there is never justification to overtake on the left...buy a Stebel Airhorn!

At Bikoi, I happened to turn up just as the cop cars and bikes pulled out to lead the convoy..I was about 4th or 5th in line.....

Now....I always try and follow at a safe distance, say 5 to 7 meters at the speed Bikoi was moving......I estimate being overtaken by over 100 bikes!

In a convoy....Why do ppl feel the need to overtake??????? I was virtually going backwards trying to maintain a safe gap!

I took station in the left of my lane (to prevent LH overtaking) and I suppose it could have looked like an invite to pass....

Riding in groups is an eye opening thing...there are countless fuckwits out there....on two wheels and four!

[wysper]

Nah don't do either of those things. In fact, if you are about to be overtaken by an experienced rider don't do ANYTHING. Just hold still and let him go - he won't hit you.


Steve

And just how are you supposed to know who is experienced and who isn't?

[Tone165]

If he hits you............he isn't!

[Tank]

If he's riding a hyosong he isnt.

[Tink]

I have to say I am not experienced, but I am not a idiot either, nor was I travelling slow (dble yellow on my right).... so regardless of L plate, and 2 experienced riders behind me... he undertook all 3 of us on the left hand white line.... (just an update so you all understand what happened again). If he had sat behind us long enough we would have moved over as we usually do... or he could have waited for a opportune moment to overtake legally, but he didn't... and we/he were lucky nothing bad happened... food for thought, I mentioned this for the simple reason that someone here may know him, and someone does... you can't change the mind of an idiot sadly.

[BoristheBiter]

All is revealed, you had an L plate on. No wonder they gave you no respect.

thats well harsh, but

BURN!

I agree with every thing in this but the first part. thats like grabbing someones stearing wheel while driving.
thats more dangerous than left hand undertaking. do it to me and i would kick you off your bike.

[Thani-B]

I know someone on a hyosung, and I'm ashamed to say he's now a better rider than me (but shhhh, dont tell him I said that).

[Conquiztador]

A few things re all this:

- You can overtake on double yellow line as long as you do not cross them.
- Sitting behind someone hogging the r/h side of the lane while going slow is annoying.
- Always know what is happening behind you. Look in the mirrors! (Last w/e I had overtaken a late model car at speed. I came to a long hill with a overtaking lane and was sitting in the l/h lane. The road turned right and I was planning to move to the r/h lane beacuse I felt the "flow" would be better. Yes, I was riding over the 100k speed limit, and normally very few overtake me. But I looked in the mirror before I moved over... and the car was there and overtaking me. If I had not looked...)
- 3 of you being "undertaken" must have felt humiliating. But remember all the cars that move over to the left so you can pass. Just do the same if you are on a bike.

No I would never "undertake" a car or a bike on the road. But drivers/riders who have no idea what is happening behind them do annoy me.
