Who's Dis Guy (the motorbike video one) - go on fess up

Another road they ruined was around the Pauatahanui Inlet on the Whitby side (south). Double yellow all the way and a waste of a good winding biker road.

Agree agian, there are several roads where I happily overtale over double yellows, with hundreds of meters of clear visibility. Over zealous use of the yellow is encourging retards to overtake in crazy places where the use of yellow is warranted.

I wonder why the bike incident was even recorded, truck didnt need to swerve or brake. While it looks legal-ish, I reckon a cop would have found something to ticket hime for if there was one round, dangerous driving most like

From the fuss made one could conclude there a lots of incidents, however the incidents shown on the program indicate otherwise. It appears there are few incidents worthy of reporting - I did like the BMW car one though and bet that is the best they have got.

and then they stop just before a blind rise or something, hey no yellow lines i can pass now, oh wait, theres a blind corner followed by a rise you cant see over, wtf!

There was heaps of room to pass in this vid, I could fit a frigging trike through there.

I think what many are missing, Is the fact that's a three lane road, The paint down the middle designates the motorcycle lane.

That passing maneuver was 100% legit. Might not be LEGAL, but looks reasonably safe.

Nannas who probably ride around and 90km/h everywhere and some cager pussies who drive 1.3L econoboxes which take 8 seconds to accelerate from 50-100 will not understand that a bike with 100+ RWHP can pass a set of cars in a flash and get back into their own lane safely.

Obviously, my definition of saftey is going to vary to the next guy.

Does your definition of in his lane differ too then? cos he wasn't in the left hand lane when the SUV (i think it was) went past.

Hes got his 5 seconds of fame.

was refering to that, not the safely bit

Dunno what the fuss is about. He was on his side of the centre line during the whole manouevre and was therefore legal as he stayed in his lane, yellow lines or not. You can overtake vehicles in your lane if you don't cross the yellow.

He only passed the van after the vehicles had gone by.

What's the big deal? Heaps of room, in his his lane, his side of the road.... owns a decent powerful motorbike.... oh... I get it. No more overtaking ever if you own a motorcyle... why get one if you can't do this sort of legal stuff?

I can't see what all the fuss is about myself. Perfectly executed and bullshit was anybody taking evasive action.

OK here's a free tip. If you wanna be on the tele, news, KB headline, Times megazine, NZ Herald, The Press, 15 different radio stations and etc... drive/ ride fast infront of a dumper truck.

Done.
