The most dangerous things you see other riders doing on the road.

[Scubbo]

I see people riding their motorcycles on the road all the time with other motorists, crazy motherfuckers.

[Voltaire]

Waving, especially group rides..... but I suppose its the peer pressure.

Dangerous. ..?

And annoying...?

A Cassino on wheels.....

I suppose multiple Cassino would be Cassina.....?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Perving at hot humans on the sidewalk is fucking dangerous too. Best to park up and have a beer for that pass time. The amount of insurance jobs I've seen at work due to perving. Oh...and showing off. Might have a few scars myself from that fault.

Riding slow
Slow as in slower than the surrounding cage traffic

[Daffyd]

I could write a book on riders' behaviour here, but one of the worst is the habit of wearing a helmet not done up or, even worse, a full face helmet perched on top of the head! The traffic police do nothing about it; just watch then ride by.

The law states that a rider must wear a helmet but doesn't say it should be done up. Pillion riders don't have to wear one.

It has been "suggested" that long sleeves should be worn, but shorts and jandals are very common.

Passing against oncoming traffic is also very common.

For instance on Ulysses group rides (open road) they require a maximum speed of approx 93kph

Not any Ulysses ride I have ever been on although I have heard that there are a couple branches that have some strict speed retricting happening. Which branch are you talking about?

Where to start? Probably what makes me cringe the most is high speed lane splitting. I saw some gang members riding at 130 plus just go straight through slower traffic without slowing down.

Car drivers who try to stop you overtaking. An endangered species fortunately, but I've had a couple of bad experiences with ute drivers in the last year.

I think cleaning any vehicle you take in for a warrant before hand must help with a pass and if they do find something wrong it will be easy to spot. I am sure they would give more detailed attention to a dirty bike/car.

I agree - I always clean my vehicles before a service or a wof.... Right down to my mountain bikes... I grew up around garages, why should the poor mech get covered in all your shit...

a casino! it's mostly luck, but the house always wins and the punter comes off second best! very apt metaphor!

i operate on the assumption that they don't want to get filthy checking shit, the half inch covering of mud and road grime is also probably holding several important bits in.

Threading the needle....seen it multiple times and not just gangs but the full mix of bikers....white lining & yoyo passing in heavy open road traffic....just asking for trouble and enhancing cagers perception of us tenfold.

Hugging the fog line in medium/heavy traffic...perfect place to be muscled around by other vehicles or be unseen completely

I'm guilty. But sometimes the ass is fat.

I don't do the twist in my seat and have a stare. That's stupid. Not crashing is much more preferable to looking at a woman you'll probably never see again.


And riding like a squid. It's been mentioned but I have seen far too many people just ride with a helmet and summer clothes.

I will add, riding too slow, particularly in groups. For instance on Ulysses group rides (open road) they require a maximum speed of approx 93kph. Incredibly dangerous when a large group rides at considerably slower than the speed limit.

That would be dangerous and it would piss me off, but I've never come across it and wonder where you came by this apparent fantasy?
