    He was standing up and looked fine, waving his arms around plus there were about 6 vehicles stopped with people already directing traffic etc etc. I would have just been a rubber necker.

    Had he been injured I would have stopped being a first aider.
    I had to slow down enough to give me ample time to assess the situation.

    Egg Gang member on a Harely

    I always thought Harley riders and gang members were chickens.
    I just didn't realise that they were so young when they first started riding.
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

    You blow HDs into the weeds quite regularly on your 250 then?

    Yes, a 250 is probably a bit over the top.
    He could probably do it on a 125...

    Yep pretty much.
    I checked out the skid marks on the way back and yep they were on the wrong side of the road. There were no skid marks from the tanker....can't really figure out what happened still.

    Perhaps ... somebody ... was travelling at such a speed ... they couldn't stop in half the clear distance of roadway ahead of them ...

    Any guesses which one ... ???

    Getting stuck behind a Harley on my 250 is like getting stuck behind a bloody truck. Luckily trucks are very easy to pass as soon as a nice straight comes along.

    The slipstream of a truck is smoother ...

    Trucks tend to be more curteous too.

    Surely if he was from Rotorua he would have been a 'rotten egg' gang member?

    Not just any 250 - it's a GSF!

    Bloody tanker drivers are renowned for being on the wrong side of the road and being unable to stop

    And some groups of motorcyclists are renown for exceeding the speed limit ... and riding like dicks ...

    Any guesses which of the two groups mentioned in this thread were acting within the law ... ???
