hey Hutch,
Yeah, the nacho pk is usually a place where most of the sporty type bikes like to cut loose.....same for mac. pass (& a few other roads round the illawarra area) as well !
We ALL started out fresh on the road at some time or another and most can remember how nervous & occasionally intimidated we felt at that point (especially around traffic).
Any rider that gets that "up close & personal" behind another bike that is clearly displaying an "L" plate is definately a d*ckhead with no common-sense and absolutely no respect for a fellow (newbie) rider !
You did incredibly well to control yourself at Bald Hill carpark - I too would be prepared to crack & kill my helmet in an attempt to knock some sense into him !!
I'm taking a girl-mate to syd on thursday to help her buy her 1st bike (she's had plenty of pillion-time but zero time up front). i'll be helping her with her basic roadcraft skills after she does some rider training with the pro's.....but I won't be taking her around any of those sorta roads (maybe mid-week but not on a w/end, for sure...). Will be sticking to much quieter places, me thinks....
Hope your g/f ain't too put off by it & continues to enjoy her riding !!
keep it fun,
baz.
