You do get around.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Splitting at 120 and riding sidesaddle.
Impressive.

nah, it was at least 130 :P
Does that make it less or more impressive?

Only if he was on fire, juggling three kingfish with one hand and smoking a pipe with the other.

While we're on the subject of crazy people, the guy I saw a few weeks ago on Fanshaw St in Auckland (so obviously just off the motorway) on a cruiser wearing nothing but shorts and jandals really did think he looked cool, so much that he mistook my glare as being impressed by his style.
I actually couldn't believe how much of a twat he was.
Motherfucker Of The Year !!!
Err, sorry about this old chap. Yeah, the Ferrari didn't start this morning, so had to take the bike to the office..... As you were then
I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

[QUOTE=Jay GTI;1130264010]While we're on the subject of crazy people, ......
Twice today in ghey lynn I have encountered a twat on a scooter in shorts, bare feet, a sea shepard t shirt and NO helmet. (guestimate him to be about 25ish?)
He's riding one of those 50cc piagio wannabes (late model)
I'm in my car.
First time he wobbled out of a driveway in a suburban side st, I gave him space as a fellow 2 wheelist, then he proceeded to ride up a hill to a main arterial rd wearing a cap backwards to protect his head.
I followed aghast that he was about to turn into serious traffic with that level (lack) of safety gear and (lack of) skill set, but no, he turned up onto the footpath and rode down towards a set of shops.
I shook my head and turned the other way.
Second time, same st, he pulled out right in front of me from a give way as I was doing the speed limit (50k), I had to brake very hard as he pulled out and didn't really accelerate then proceeded to ride at 25k up a hill in front of me.
I'd had enough of this fool and overtook him with the appropriate gesture.
I have no doubt that I will see him again as I use this route 2-3 times most days.
He might've only been going to the shops both times (prob 700 metres), on a mates scooter.
All it takes is for him to pull out in front of some soccer mum in her 4wd like he did to me, and he'll be brown bread. ACC will have another motorcyclist stat to beat us with.
Rant over
With my beer tinted glasses I'm ready to biddy battle,
I'm hungry like the wolf, but I'll end up tending cattle!
Ridin to Work, Workin to Ride
Your Guy must've had a meeting down here.
Saw someone of that description heading back your way in a hell of a hurry. Office attire, 125cc mud bike & classic over the shoulder yuppy bag. The suit jacket flapping about in the breeze completed the look.... Undertaking fast lane traffic @ 100km/h on the Hutt motorway this arvo.
Just what i need..... more pissed off car drivers. As it is, lately i seem to be getting more than my usual share of flying cigarette butts out car windows up front. last week i managed to scoop one up & it got lodged & melted part of my fairing.
Don't shit in your own backyard !

[QUOTE=c4.;1130264075]Grab his plate, *555, report him. And mention his dangerous driving. Police love that.
I've done this plenty of times when I've seen people driving really badly, or dangerously. They respond quickly.

Born to be mild
On the way to work this morning, just off Colombo St, I saw a guy toodling merrily along on a scooter with a pillion passenger. Pillion passenger was not wearing a helmet. Burn him? Nah, waste of good flames.
Grow older but never grow up
Whip it, whip it good!
I am really sorry, I have not ridden to work on my bike in nearly 6 months, I was simply overcome with pure "YEEEEEHAAA!" and did not consider wives and children
Are you sure it wasn't the Northern Motorway

there's a difference between riding quickly and sensibly, and quickly and dangerously..
