Riding through K Road & Queen Street in the CBD: Warning!

[SMOKEU]

haha. legal...

gtfo the road.

I guess I could push the GSXR everywhere. That would be totally badass, and then I wouldn't be a cyclist.

The thing about "riding our usual route" is that it is easy to go through the motions, knowing pretty much what to expect at any given point along the way. While many on this site will chorus out the oft-repeated "ride like every one else on the road is trying to kill you" the reality is that any small slip up in concentration or distraction can be disastrous - your distraction or that of another road user.
Intersections, particularly busy ones, always require eyes everywhere and lightning quick reflexes. I'm sure once you are back in the saddle you will ride with that lesson branded into your memory. In the meantime, continue to heal and I hope all goes well in regard to your wheels.

PLEASE PLEASE.. take your sweet time when going through that intersection. Till now I see cars cutting other cars off.
Slow down around that junction and flash your high-beams on if you have to when you pass, so no cars go and turn in front of you.

Even though I had a bright green Kawi bike, the idiot never looked properly

Forgot to quote before: these two facts are so common you should never be surprised or astounded by either of them.

haste to health homie.

i would not flash my lights at an aucklander, though, they might think you're giving them ROW...and TBH, treat it like all of them are out to kill you. half of them through ignorance, the other half through malice. the other half are women and shouldn't be driving anyway.

All three halves huh.

Dang us Aucklanders are good aye,,all you hillbillys only get are "two halves".

Wasallahmulaikum, Wassem. Wow, that sucks! Doesn't matter whose fault it is, the motorcyclist is the one who suffers more.

Take care and heal up.

Glad you're on the mend. And have learnt from your mistakes. Make this your last crash.

was looking at a birds tits and went up the arse of a car

I did that in the hilux, $3500 worth of damage for a pair of tits. Was well worth it.

[Smifffy]

So how's the bike?

[Katman]

So how's the bike?

Apparently it's a total ride off.

Apparently it's a total ride off.

Oh yeah thanks, I missed that bit.

Apparently it's a total ride off.

Is this the sum total of your input on this thread?

You've changed man.

When the light turns green, look right, look left and look right again...

Fucking red light runners should be stabbed, shot and then asked to leave the country.
