LEFT HAND SIDE!!!!

[rjw3105]

Just been reading louwai's thread on the F$%^wit in the crane and saw a few of the comments made by others about not reading signs (the do not overtake.... thing is a constant. see people shooting up the inside of turning trucks and buses all the time). Thought I'd relate a couple of experiences that have happened in the last couple of days.
Just as a pre-cursor to this I'll let you all know I'm fairly new at this 'Busa thing. It's a k7 which replaced the SVS1000 I'd had for about 3 years. Unfortunately it was written off. My 1st accident in over 30yrs of riding. Random dickhead proving the theory of entropy.
Had to pick my son up from cricket on Tues. night. Sitting at the lights this halfwit doof doof lord in an EVO 7 pulls up beside me. Decides he wants to drag. I f*cken hate that. He's so busy looking at me as he drags off at the lights that he starts drifting over on top of my son and I on the 'Busa. 2 choices. Slow down and have some dickhead run over the top of us or cut loose and get away from the arsehole. Well I am a 'Busa rider so you can guess which option I took.
The problem is if I'd ahve been caught (particularly with the focus on street racing in Sydney at the moment) you get labelled as a hoooligan. Generally not my style at all. I don't even like doof doof.
Part 2 of the story involves my trip home yesterday afternoon. riding through the industrial estate near where I work and as I drive past a side street I se this wanker in this little wind up toy thing fly out at a million revs and about 60kmh. As soon as he saw me go past he was absolutely determined to catch me. And he did. As I eased up to a set of lights where there is on ly one lane until very close to lights he decided to push through the half a metre between me and the gutter. When I saw him in my rear view, about 20 metres behind I expected him to slow down and wait. No way !!!! He actually accelerated and tried to push through. nudged my left hand boot and then my left hand bar end. I was so stunned it took me a second to react. WHAT AN ARSEHOLE. WTF is wrong with these dickheads. Are their dicks so small they have to react like this all the time!???! I do think that the 'Busa has an effect on these types of morons because of it's reputation (you know ... world's fastest production ..Blah blah blah)
F$%^ken wankers

sometimes we bring it upon ourselves,as you said you took off fast to get out of harms way,thay see this as, you wanna race do ya ,see were im going with this.True the busa has a rep and we often use it to our advantage,alltho not all the time, when you need it you know its there ,speed can get you in and OUT of trouble.there are plenty of people that wiil try and test this theroy

had a simmiliar experience. was turn right on a two lane round about where the outer lane can turn right aswell(they have those up here) this rice mobile wason the inside and starts drifting out like he thinks he is in fst and furious 3 tokyo drift. and gentle back handed love tap to the rear quarter panel of his car with armoured gloves on and then stand the bike up and brake like all f*** worked pretty well. he then came over to where i was pulled over having a private moment after a near death experience to try and tell me he was gonna kick my head in for denting his ride. to this day i dont know hy people try picking fights with guys twice there size who are wearing a helmet, gloves with hard knuckles and and an armoured jacket. i sill maintain people need a licence to breed. then we might not have some of these issues

Dan, I think most of these guys are use to intimidating people, in your face - wild hand gestures and a screaming voice, maybe they find most back away. It comes as a suprise to them when they upset someone who wont. A few weeks ago I had the same type of loud mouthed fuckwit abusing me, chin stuck out screaming abuse.

First rule of boxing chin down cover the throat. Cured him quickly.

hahaha. i jsut dont get it tho how can they think there gonna win a fight when they cant beat the guy in the haed(he has a helmet on) getting punched with armoured bike gloves on is gonna hurt like all buggery and a quick elbow to the head with an armoured jacket on will likely break there head open

I get it all the time in my Impreza or on my 'busa. I just wave them on, let them be the skin crayon, I'm quite happy to pick my time and place with a real challenge.

i dont read the signs anymore. I just do what i want whenever i want as long as it feels ok to me. That includes speed signs, overtaking signs, one way signs. Those streets they try to block off by puting a foot path between one street and the next, i ride down to the end then down the walk path and on to the next street. Im out of control.. I cant be stopped. Nor can I read.

OLD SPARKPLUG.

I always carry one.

You can drag it down the side of nice paint work on cages. (Leaves a lovely groove)

Hold it in your fist with the point stickin out and come down hard on a cage windshield. (Makes em pop and turn to sugar)

Or, get out in front and accidently (cough, cough) drop it over your shoulder. (when they bounce off the road they rip up radiators nicely. Seeing a cloud of steam in the mirrors is rewarding)

I might be one of the smaller road users, and I'm a skinny little runt, but i'll be stuffed if i'm gunna be a victum to some numbnut cager.

I knew I wasn't on my own, but jeez you blokes have got some bloody awful stories. I still reckon a lot of this comes back to a total lack of a really good, progressive driver education system. But that's a whole other thread!! I know what you mean about picking your time and place evilrasp but I didn't have that luxury here. I reckon this guy would have gone right over me before he realised he wasn't in control. I'm generally pretty considered in my actions but I'm beginning to think mybb and CapeBusa have got some solutions!

Last time i checked it has to be a used sparkplug...
If you want the window effect thing,just chip off the white
bits on the plug.They can be pretty small an you wouldnt
think theyd do much but there pretty lethal

Ah yes,i cop it all the time,twats in cars
who think they can beat bikes or what not,
i just play with there cars till
i decide il think il just leave them now...
