And the more people like you around the less this kinda shit will happen, seriously it is so far from outrageous it just isn't even funny.

sucks man not much you can do about it either, apart from come on more rides, theres a 250 coro loop coming up, you keen?

Grow some nuts mate honestly! If you let people cagers get away with that kind of behaviour then you deserve it. To simply say "oh well never mind" is a bloody joke quite frankly. Would you say the same if someone came up to your car & booted it while it was parked in your driveway? (like what just happened at my place 15 mins ago funny enough lol). That be ok with you? Be ok if someone used there car like a deadly weapon & damage your bike? Or worse you? That be ok too?

Seriously grow some nuts

How much I hate confrontations and acting on impluses but shit like that real pisses me off and I agree, if some cunt went tried some stupid shit with me, the least I would do is smash their mirrors off.

There's a fine line between deliberate act and an accident.

I was having a good yarn to Mike from NZbikerentrals about people's attitude towards bikers and bike thefts in South Africa seeing he's from there. Well, he simply put it, yo never mess with a motorcyclist in SA or you're fucked because there's so many bike postie/courier boys and if they spot you, they'll take you down.

At Auckland Uni we had a string of bike thefts and have implemented a txt-bash scheme among our club members. Maybe it's a good time to it cross it over here.

And what would the wise boob suggest one do in this situation?

Hang around to get the number plate?
Stop and have a logical conversation about his bad driving practices?
Give him the bash bro (figure out first how to get him to pull over without running said biker over)
Write a letter perhaps?

You are an idiot, if someone is purposely trying to run you over, do not stick around and ask why, get out of the situation. 1.5 tonne vs 150kg is never going to work in the bikes favor.

Tell me to grow some nuts? I already have nuts, how about you grow some brains - you'll save us taxpayers from your inevitable future as an IHC patient.

Wow, racist much?
What does their race have to do with any of that? Why even mention it?
Have you received your National Front election pack in the mail yet?

Before I arrived in NZ, I never had any preconceptions, justified or not, about any one race's ability to drive. Sure, you watch out for Pakistani taxi drivers down the Oxford Road in Manchester late at night (they're usually pissed) and you should always be wary of drivers in hats, but other than that, nothing.

And then I got to Auckland. Never had I seen such complete incompetence before; failures to look and observe, chronic indecision, appalling lane discipline, a complete inability to make any form of reasonable progress ... and I slowly began to notice a pattern in the ethnic origins of the worst drivers. The ones completely oblivious to anything outside of their own cage, and the ones who simply had no idea what they were doing: predominantly asian. The ones driving Mazda Bongo Wagons at speeds more suited to an ox-cart: predominantly Pacific Islanders.

My opinions are born from observation and my own experience. Sure, my own experience does not necessarily reflect the population as a whole but consider this: the majority of stereotypes develop because the trait that's the subject of the stereotype is usually predominant within a particular group. Does that mean I'm racist? Or is that I've just developed an opinion based upon a genuine set of observations?

As for your question "What has race to do with any of that?". Because of the driving behaviour exhibited a reasonable proportion of this particular ethnic group, such behaviour might be considered by them to be reasonable or acceptable. Like the stupid bint I saw reversing up a motorway on-ramp the other day, or the equally stupid bint I was in my cage behind when she tried to join the motorway doing a whole 35 kph.

Asian drivers do not have an exclusive hold on bad, stupid, illogical, discourteous, dangerous or downright incompetent driving. But they certainly seem to be very over-represented in the total of such incidences.

SNAP!!! I've also, in my short time here, noticed an underlying aggression and discourteousness on the roads which appears to general and across the board.

Move to Taranaki!!

The drivers are a pretty courteous bunch down here, but then a whole crowd of us bikers make a point to acknowledge any movings over or other nice behaviours by giving a toot and a wave - perhaps that goodwill is filtering through?

Or perhaps we're just a bit more laid back here. We've got our share of idiots and fucktards for sure, but riding out over the weekend it was really noticable how "friendly" the cars were.

Lotsa kids waving madly as we were passing, they luvvit when you toot or wave back.

Lived in Brisbane and commuting there was OK. Auckland seems incredibly hostile to bikes by comparison.

Last time it happened to me was a few weeks ago (a cage doing something extremely stupid putting my life @ risk) I turn around, pulled him over & gave him the ear bashing off his life, I went off at the guy. It was unintentional but none the less extremely stupid, had it been intentional I would of pulled the clown out of his car & beat him senseless, kick his door & smashed a wing mirror or two & leave him to have a wee think about his actions. I bet after that he wouldn't EVER mess with a bike again. And hey, if that resulted in an assault charge on me then so be it, hopefully it made the news or at least the paper so others dickhead cagers will see what happened. But im fucked if im going to do nothing (as the clown found out last night who was kicking my flatmates HSV, we gave chase, gave him the bash then called the cops & they were pleased we laid into him).

Obviously you would get away from the immediate danger but it wouldn't be hard to move over to the shoulder further up & wait for him, we are talking about the motorway rush hour hear. But hey if that isn't your cup of tea cup cake then at least get the persons plate & talk to a witness or two, get there details & go straight to a cop shop & pay a complaint about a cager using his car with intent to cause grevious bodily harm or even murder, you think they will ignore that? Because that is the reality you fucking dick. You say you have balls but its pretty obvious you need to strap them on? To simply high tail it out of there & thank the lord ol mighty your safe is pathetic.

And hey, im not the only one in this thread who would do what ive suggested & im far from alone from other bikers taking this type of behaviour seriously, I lived in Auckland for 10 years & have seen my fair share of bikers going off @ cagers & a few beatings.
