Newbie moments and rant.

[doko]

I like the way I starched my bike when it tipped over and my neighbour had to help me pick it up.

I like the way I made a traffic jam stalling trying to learn clutch control.

I like the way I wear goofy high vis.

I like they way I just don't care if I am taking it easy on bends and car gets up my ass.

I like they way posers look at me dirty and speed off at the lights when I put it in to second really ruffley.

Why do I like all this? Well I simply don't care what you think. I am having way to much fun to care.

Today there was this horrid man on a Harley pulling in front of me so I stopped and he pulled up to me and looked me in the eyes then spat on the ground.

I said "got a small dick there mate" then I started to pull off and he cut me off again.

Why are there so many dam posers.... I am just trying to enjoy my new bike! Leave me alone. I don't care if your bike is 99999999999999HP and costs $99999999

I don't care if your the next ghost rider. Your not cool. Your a dick. Go away.

Hope however was reads this.

s.

ha ha, unfortunately alot of those "i likes" are not all newbie moments.


Geez, that's pretty harsh about the harley rider..... gang member maybe ? just watch what ya say tho, he coulda been a gang member high on crack !

I don't know about Harleys but some car drivers are arrogant cnuts but you can usually spot them a mile away.

Right attitude tho, just take your own sweet time !

I found car drivers to be quite rude when I had my L plate - they get up your ass and honk the horn when you stall at the lights.
You need a riding buddy who will be your "rolling block" and be behind you.
My husband used to do that was funny - one time I stalled at the lights and was tooted at - hubby got off his bike and told them off.

As for the guy that spat at you - thats pretty weird and horrible!

Anyway - we were all learners once - maybe that crusty old man on the Harley can't remember that far back - probably killed too many brain cells.

Probably because you didnt wave at him!! Everyone on KB knows that you always wave at Harley riders.

Welcome to KB and love your attitude!!

[banditrider]

Good on ya, just go easy on the starch!

[Bender]

Good attitude, good on you.

Your Mean

don't frighten the newbie

Lol too right... you tell him!!!

I felt the same way riding, first ride on a CBR with a lost L plate through Wellsford, on the main road to Auckland, and I was doing 100km (bad me)... but I was terrified... a car up my arse, and had lost my cover bike.

I have learnt just to ignore them now...and ride in the middle of the road. I pay more rego, so they can beat their chests, regurgitate, and put up any finger they want...

Yes - ride in the middle of the road - when I started, I kept to the left but people in cars would drive next to me in a single lane!

I have always ridden in the middle, I have always thought if they want to get around me they will eventually. In my 6 mths with a L plate, I had only the one incident, whew.

Three things:

1 - Learn to pick up your bike yourself - there won't always be a helpful neighbour around

2 - Learn hill starts on a deserted road devoid of traffic. It wont always be a car you piss off, it could be a truck that can't stop in a hurry when the bike in front stalls trying to get away

3 - Enjoy your riding. Ride your own ride and damn the rest of the world.
