Car drivers - Give the L' platers a break

Dainese metal knuckled gloves tend to scare drivers. I'm only a 50kg lightweight and wouldn't hurt a fly...

Yeh... on the road to Muswellbrook from Denman alot of people speed anyway. Just hope some of them care enough to give me my space on the road.

falx said "the fact that people like to dominate"

I think it has more to do with that than L plates. It doesn't matter if I'm on the bike or in the car, if I stay 2 seconds back they will cut in.

On the subject of switching off turn signals; I rode a scoota for a couple of months before getting the bike. It had a really loud click sound with the signal, could hear it easily with full face helmet - I really miss that!

Cheers, v.

Just avoid roads with a higher than 80km/h speed limit ... find a twisty road and leave the cages for dead if ya can...

I try to do that, but both roads from here to the city have 100k zones on them. Luckily, one of them is less used and a little curvy.
