Leave for your work place a half hour earlier ... that'll show em whose in charge .....

I wasn't *that* pissed off, just annoyed that (a) they didn't pass when they had room to, and (b) that the whole time they were sitting in a position where they were ready to pass, blocking me from passing, and (c) that they had piss-poor situational awareness. Not at all surprising for Mr Noob on the Hyosung, but they both had piss-poor visual gap-estimating skills.
Mr. MV Agusta was worse though - he *was* aware I was behind him.

I saw a guy splitting through traffic one handed today. Had a 'relaxed' stance on the bike, quite oblivious to the maniacal drivers attempting to remove him from this earth.

Not sure if I was just impressed, or if he was actually god on two wheels.

Motorcyclists are cunts.

You know it.

I dunno, don't have too many problems with bikes. There was a Harley I ran into several times in a row, he never learnt...

Worst is those cars with all the red and blue lights that flash. Trying to act like a motorbike, they are sooooo slow, plus, all the other cars end up all over the place.

Not Anymore,

Besides when I did have the L plate on, this still happened with annoying frequency

Indeed! Dopey cunts on bikes that may as well have taken the car. I mean, why ride a bike when you don't take advantage of the advantages it offers: small size, narrow profile, zippy acceleration, nippy manoeuverability? If you're going the same speed as the snail-like procession of cars, then go on the bus or in a car.

No dopey cunts this morning (apart from me, and despite a double esporesso before I left, I behaved myself: no speeding, no maniacal riding, and I even (mostly) stayed out of the bus lane.
I'm SO good.
