MUCH Better![]()
I accelerated away smoothly (and fuckin' carefully, it was wet and my rear lit up changing up to second when i left home a few hours earlier)
I think this guy was probably just having a shitty day and was looking for someone to take it out on, the motorcyclist right there looks like fair game why not give him a wind up?
I've been keeping an eye out for him, although will some half million odd cars in chch that might be fun.
I also remembered he had 2 wee blue lights on the front of his car, the wee boy racer type ones by the headlights...
Titanium toe sliders do a pretty good job too. A couple of years back I had a van almost take me out when they swerved into the lane I was in, in a 100km/h zone. They ended up with a nice big scratch down their van
Looking at the tags that have been attached to this thread theres obvoiusly a fair few cocks on this forum. I don't care who you are, you don't try to run someone off the road just cause they annoyed you. Grow up.
yeah I noticed the tags
I'm not crying, it's more of a "holy shit guess what happened to me!" thread.
I thought the idea of being a biker was to not be at fault, an at fault rider is usually pretty dead.
and the northerner can fuck off, I was born in auckland. (whoa the truth comes out)

I should just do what one of my sons does when I'm whingeing, and just say "Waah." But your vision of reality is so far off, I feel compelled to respond, and I'll explain it to you, even though you seem like a very angry, unpleasant little man, with some "issues".
Common sense? Well, it's good common sense to pull to the front of a line of traffic - it means the person at the front can see you, and is unlikely to bump you if you're instead sitting between the cars. Bikers split to the front because even accelerating gently, they can accelerate MUCH faster than cars. It's also because they then don't have to breathe in all the fumes of all the vehicles in front of them taking off. (Well, that's why I do it, at least). It's also safer than "waiting a couple cars" and passing the "2-3 cars that were in front of you". Makes more sense too - if you're out the front, there's no need to accelerate past, break the speed limit, or any of that.
As for "aggravating people as your encroach upon their space" - I think you mean, "aggravating people who have manhood/mental issues and don't like other people passing them". Let me guess - when people pass you on the open road, you feel slighted, and speed up? You sound like that sort of aggro person to me.
If I park at "some queer" angle at the front, it's usually because I don't have sufficient space to straighten the bike up, usually becuase the car at the front has stopped well over the line. I'd rather not, and sometimes I just park between the lanes, but (IMH) it's more dangerous.
Get over yourself, Dude! This is a BIKER forum - most of the bikers in here do things like lanesplit. Some of them are real cocks when they do so, but most do it in a safe, considerate manner. It might make you extremely angry when people lanesplit past you, but get this: unless they bump/scratch your car, or stall in front of you, they are not affecting you or impeding you in the slightest, as the chances are they'll be gone before you've started to let the clutch out. Shut your eyes if it offends you.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
Ha ha that sounds like every male I've ever meet, myself included, apart from the two queereyes around Tekapo last summer who insisted at travelling at 70ks per ... I suspect they were doing their makeup in the mirror.when people pass you on the open road, you feel slighted, and speed up?
I like it when you are on the open road tooling along safely behind a few cars who are do 95 ish. This goes on for a few kms until you safely pass.
Then they use you as a pacecar and are suddenly happy following along behind you at your chosen, somewhat faster speed. This normally stops once use hit a set of twisties.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
Living on the back of a giant dead fish has its advantages.
I was born in auckland, bought up in dunedin and live in christchurch.
this means I have the genes (pun) off my neighbours washing line, I can tollerate low tempretures, and I only have 1 eye.
