Good to hear.

Enjoy the weekend knowing he will probably be up to his elbows in blocked toilets, and overflowing restaurant sludge traps.

No, he didn't come out of nowhere. That's not physically possible.

Maybe he came out of a trapdoor in the road? Or maybe he came from behind, where you weren't watching ? In y' mirrors, like ?

And, yes, occasionally you'll get a wanker overtake you in 'your' lane. Sort of, um, what we do when we lane split past cars, eh. Get used to it.

A tip to help make them give you a bit more room, weave around a bit in 'your' lane. Not wildly, just move back and forth from right wheel track to centre to left wheel track and back. So someone following doesn't get tempted by your nice straight path, leaving him just enough room to squeeze past. And it helps give a better view of what's happening 12 seconds ahead. And increase the likelihood that the car in front will see you in his mirrors.

Arnt you just funny,
I saw him coming behind me from a lomg way back so i changed lanes then he came into my lane, hmmmm are mirrors thoes shiny things that you do your make up in??? maybe you could show me what they are, of corse i check them I try to be as safe as possible, and when splitting lanes you dont do that at a stupid speed do you, maybe u do but i dont, and i certainly dont go touching people mirrors.
and the one time i have been wrong i got off my bike and apoligised to the lil old lady for giving her the shits. didnt abuse them.

So he didn't come from nowhere. In fact you knew he was there. And changed lanes, probably just as he did to go round you. He's probably telling his mates about the stupid motorcyclist that cut in front of him and is only alive because of his leet avoidance skillz.

Not saying Mr Sylvia isn't a prick, or even a maniac.

But if you ride a bike, you'll need to get used to that sort of thing.

I'm surprised it's taken a month for it to happen. It certainly won't be the last time. Welcome to our world.

Mr Sylvia doesn't give a flying fuck about you. He's not going to look after you. The only person who cares about you is you (and maybe other bikers - once you graduate to that status). So dealing with that sort of shit is down to you. Too hot ? Kitchen door's on y' left.

Obviously u dont read correctly he had a clear lane when i moved over he came between me and a car on my right lane instead of going through a a empty lane on my left to begin with he could have gone past on the inside and got infront of me early, instead of waiting untill i was right next to a 4wd to hoon it and it was a old prick in a PRIMERA it was SILVER not a silvia, i gave him heaps of space and still thought he was in the other lane untill he touched my elbo with his wing mirror,

Hes probally telling his mates how funny it was to see me a get the shits, its happened b4 but thats been the worst,

And dont get me started about vans and u-turns,
Its not to hot to handel just need a hotter bike than my lil hornet.

And as you were already doing the legal limit, and "thought he was in the other lane", how exactly would a "hotter bike" have made any difference ?

But by all means go for it, the stock market down turn is affecting my Genee-o-kleen shares, they could do with a sales boost.

Are you just one of thoes people who goes through life questioning everything and everyone?
Because everything that has happened so far ive been doing the friging speed limit.
You cant say that you have had these experiences and not gotta fright and and been pissed of about it, a simple "sorry " from him at the lights would have avoided me wanting to have a winge and a moan,
But getting the feeling he wouldnt given a thought to if i was dead or not pisses me off.
