4wds and Kiwis?

[98tls]

Hey don't pisson the good ol smurfs.

Ok I drive a how you say (lumbering shitbox toyota surf).

I do however consider myself AND my lovely normal size wife to be considerate and to have common sence.

We have it as up in central otago it sometimes snows and or very frosty,icey and its safer for my wife to get to work in on those mornings.
We looked at getting a sw for our big car to tow the float wit recently but decided against it for those reasons.

I don't have a problem on the open road going to ch ch or invers even towing the small trailor with the race bike on I keep with the flow of traffic with no effort but do take time to let people past that want to go faster and don't speed up on passind lanes which really pisses me off.

All that needs to be said really,wish there were more like ya,probably are i just keep having the misfortune to come across those that are not.

It seems that the older and rougher the SUV, the more the drivers act like complete cocks. It's as if they're saying "I'm going to tailgate you just to prove that my overpriced 20 year old wreck can maintain the speed limit".

Luckily on most bikes it only takes a little bit more throttle to get far away from them.

I own one of these older suv's fucktard.

When your bike has done 200k let me know how it runs

If your not keen on doing more than 120 in a passing lane then why are you in one?No offence and hey getting out there in the mud is fun but jesus H passing lanes are for passing, people that fuck about in em annoy the shit outta me.You dont have to be a rocket scientist to work out that fucking about at 120 clicks is just going to hold up everyone else that actually intends to pass people....in a passing lane.That aside the diesal all over my windscreen after the black shit disappears is also annoying.

A few reasons, the limit is still 100 so I try to limit the expense if I happen on mister plod going the other way, at 120 the old shitter has only got another 5-10k's left and I like to save them for when I really need them, and because I don't want to spend the next 10k's back down at 80-90. I am considerate enough to have a look in the mirror and if there's something quicker behind me (which is most things) I'll stay out of the way.

I don't actually bother trying to overtake on passing lanes much, due to exactly what you've described and the slow pricks suddenly having the urge to travel at 110, I prefer to sneak up on them when they're not expecting it on a normal bit of road with no oncoming traffic.

Fair cal neels but hey if anybody really gave a shit about the speed limit we would all be riding 250s eh.I guess the difference between arseholes in 4wds and those in most other things is that as i said earlier there so much harder to see round/through,many in em dont get it or simply dont care it seems.

The biggest bitch I have with passing lanes is the dicks that sit right be hind the vehicle slowing everyone down then try to speed up once they hit the passing lane.

I normally sit with the two second rule and when I see the 400m to passing lane I start building speed using the slipstream as I get closer so when I hit the passing lane im already going at 120ishso passing is easy and can get back in and slow back down to let others pass me.

That technique works great in a b-train, even more so if you switch your headlights off as you pull out...

As for the blingy utes... well comfy seat and nice view of road ahead. And the ones with 3L turbo diesels are well grunty, newer ones handle quite well too.
But you may as well be ranting about anything new or grunty not driven to its potential.
Know of one exec guy who had to give back his company HSV as the wife was too scared to drive it! At least he did the right thing for the rest of us...

your not allowed to exceed 100ks even when passing, speeding is whats causing global warming

Oh shit the fingers hit the wrong keys again good sir I meant 104ish

More global warming comes from speeding up and slowing down don't it

Probably right but wont change much by doing so,the things are when combined with the average joes driving mentality a fucking menace on our roads,they have been for awhile but the upsurge in there popularity has obviously made things worse.As ive said twice arseholes driving whatever are annoying but those in the typical 4wds that grace are roads are made worse by the dimensions and lack of power of there vehicles.

yea yea.
