I suspect you applied for the Police force and failed their psychological profile. You then would have applied for the Fire Service and ditto. The last option to actually wear a hat would be Trans Rail, but they too are selective.

Oh dam you found me out *rolls eyes* yep ended up being a Stock Controller

Put a steering wheel in front of some people and you can see their mentality change.

"Fuck everyone else - I own the road".

People need to think about others occasionally.

[yungatart]

Someone may ride a bike, but it takes the right attitude to be a biker.

Sprag displays entirely the opposite sort of attitude, ergo, a cager.

If I had my way people would have to pass a psychological test before they could go for a licence of any class.

It would surely weed out those with "killer attitudes" who do precisely the sort of shit Sprag brags about.

Agreed - and it works the same with with 2 wheels... I know this as I am battling a few new found demons at the moment...

If we profiled people to gauge suitability for 2 wheels or 4, this forum would be several thousand people talking about bikes, and never getting on them.

Nobody's perfect, and my ideals and interpretations about how the road should be ridden/driven will never gel with those of any given number of people.

The beautiful thing about KB, the dominant personalities certainly keep the temperature in the threads up.

Suggest beer.

So all accidents on the motorway are caused by cage pilots who travel AT the speed limit (which Sprag has stated himself to be one of?)

Read it again buddy, It is people that OBSTRUCT the outside lane that provoke actions that cause collisions. The self appointed speed limiter travels blissfully on unaware of the carnage he/she has left in their wake. The vast majority of motorway traffic is cages and the VAST MAJORITY of collisions are caused by inappropriate lane changing and a knee jerk reaction from nearby traffic. Speed preventers in the outside lane are a menace and are breaking the law by "Failing to keep as near left as practicable" "Keep left unless overtaking" is not applicable on motorways but the former is.

Yeah yeah, I'm not looking to argue, I merely want to look at this from many angles.

So how about if I in my cage 'o joy am in lane 3 of the motorway AT 100km/h - now, as I am travelling AT the speed limit, am I obliged to move over to accomodate a bike/cage that wishes to EXCEED the speed limit?

I should state now (better late than never) that I firmly believe those who insist on parking their arses in the fast lane at 90ish should be given to Ixion for testin the latest batch of gene-o-kleen!

...or burned, damn them!

Go back to your masturbating even though there is no scientific evidence to prove it makes a small cock into a larger one but if you don't try you will always be a teeny weeny who lives in the outside lane and has problems with reality. FUCK OFF DICK WAD

Oh I see the light, its the people that go at the speed limit that makes other people speed and do really dumb things on the motorway, oh its all clear now.
Someone needs to write a letter to the PM and the head cop to tell them this, and anyone that hits another person should get a "out of jail card" as its the person that stays within the law's fault.
ElCoyote you better get that pen to paper.

Good god man how old are you, 15?

No. But you are supposed to 'keep as far left as practicable'. If the left lane/s have slower traffic that you are passing, then fine, stay in the far right lane. At least until you are clear of them. Otherwise...

[Ixion]

And he also owns a motorcycle, and has in fact been riding longer than me.

I too operate a cage - does this mean I should have my class 6 removed?

Not looking to argue with you Ix, it's just always fascinated me how 'pure' bikers look upon those who also utilise those filthy and dangerous 4 wheel conveyances as well...

Nope. You're a biker. Who sometimes drives a cage. Same as if you caught a bus. Which even bikers may do sometimes. I caught a plane the other day. Didn't make me a pilot. Caught a train a while back, too, didn't make me a trainer.

And a cager who sometimes rides a motorcycle isn't thereby a biker. It's an attitude thing. Like the tarty lady said.

All cool my man, however I will add this as it is a private message, I have a B4 Legacy and travel on the motorway (wherever possible) at 120-130kph but, I always pull back to the left/middle lane as quickly as possible. This way I am off the radar (no pun intended) of any cops. I am over 60 and have yet to get a ticket. Stay invisible friend.

No. But you are supposed to 'keep as far left as practicable'. If the left lane/s have slower traffic that you are passing, then fine, stay in the far right lane. Otherwise...

Best and most reasoned answer yet.

However, with the constant movement of vehicles to and from the various and often (speaking Auckland here) congested lanes, I would say it could only serve to slow traffic down even more.

[Ixion]

Ah yes but aint we all cagers if we drive in a car, and if you looked at that little bike area under ones profile (or on every post) you will also see that i have a bike as well.

Nope. And so does Mayor Banks. Doesn't make him a biker.
