Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I usually nod hello, and before light goes green, wave the bigger rider on ahead. I'm not a filtering/splitting demon, nor is my bike stupidly quick... i'd rather wait it out and take my own pace than hold a faster rider up. As for trying to race 'em... that's just stupid
How ever if I was in the mood for a Gp start How would I know that I was not racing a deviant police person ready to book me at the first opportunity
Just playing devils advocate here

Perhaps we can have a secret nod, that is not blasted over the internet that all can recognize.
like that other secret one for the police hairdryers................... (if I'm allowed to say that here)
Must be a slow nite

it wouldnt be a secret if we made one up one here now would it???

How about just give them the bird?

If it's a fellow rider they will gun it to prove themselves, and if it's a copper he'll book you for giving him the bird which should be easier than the booking for street racing/speeding/hooning.

Yeah similar stance exzactly sulli
i digress
this week was extremeley emotional for me and my family
however i was on the bike and afte dealing with some really crap news
i knew i shouldnt be in charge of a bike
i kept telling myself keep calm make the right decisions etc etc dont be a tool
anyhow i approach a major intersection and being a friday night with heaps of traffic etc etc
i do lane split btw but carefully as she goes and eventully hit the start of the que
next minute a bike comes screaming to a halt next to me
i giggle inside my helmet smarting to myself young dickhead
i wouldnt ride like that !!!
the lights turn to to green his on the gas and i let him go
as its only a few ks to the next set of lights
again we both lane split to the top of the que
the lights change and we get forced in to the same lane due to other cagers
at this point i gun the bike and get clear of the friday night traffic
this road is dual carrigae and is visabilty is good nothing in front of me
except for 1 housing estate turnoff
yep at about 110 ks a jap something or other decides to pull out right in front of me
there speed about 30- 50 k
no dramas ...... reset course to 10 oclock passing on the inside
and give the l/hand side mirror a flick and offcourse the bird
i then power off over taking other cars jumping the que fot other cagers turning left etc etc
man i was riding like this other dick head in zero seconds
and guess who is tailing me i dont know ,who was setting the worst example of riding go figure
but jesus it felt good ..... i dont usually ride like this and its not something that sits well with me either

ps sorry for hijacking the thead just had to get this of my chest

Thats what i like a pragmatic response How ever the prospective cost of the proposal, may be prohibitive due to previous incursions............ and use of the bird and other V for victory signals

Ever seen a game of base ball ? where the catcher signals the pitcher
Imagine pulling up at a set of lights...................
