Lanesplitting dickwaddery by me

Sorry to the Harley Davidson (looked like a Sporty?) just before the Newmarket Viaduct today half an hour ago. I followed you for about a kilometre where you stayed inline with traffic and stuck in a proper lane. Was just splitting to overtake when you started moving into lane 2a. If you'd used your indicator I would've guessed but instead I just hit the picks.

Possibly I looked like a complete twat trying to barge my way though. Didn't mean it like that. I don't really want to shit in my own nest, as it were.

I don't think he'll be on KB, he'll be waiting with a meat cleaver tomorrow

Did you get a look a what gang patch he was wearing?

Where's your fucking man card? If he's in the way, pushing him out of the way is just fine - this is NZ after all.

As the owner of a Harley T shirt I have the power to exonerate you. Go forward in piece my son, all is forgiven, anybody that can use the term dickwaddery can't be all bad.

There is a Freudian connotation here, I think it is a combination of being a Honda rider combined with the leather fetish combined with the whipping frenzy of tassles ...

X-whatsit-formerly-known-as-Xerxesdaphat ... you are really wanting to be a crusier rider!

If HE had used his mirror it might have helped too. Splitting with no mirrors and no indicators? I don't think you are the twat here.

You forgot the head check...

I think there is some duty of care/courtesy that lies with a following rider too.

If you are lane splitting it requires intense forward concentration to avoid lane changers.

Too much time in the mirrors can prove costly.

DAMHIK.

Cut another rider some slack till he/she spots you.
