running the gauntlet

[surfabusa]

twice in two days

i do the daily comute from goldy to brissy on the busa.
yesterday a prick in a bmw changes lane right on top of me( i am level with his drivers window when he decides to change. next second i have hooked hard right trying to stop his mirrors from hitting me, thank *#@% there was no traffic in the next lane beside me or i was dead,driver just gives a little shug and sorry whilst i am abusing him

now today

red F%#*ing magna does the same thing again on the f*&^ing phone.. twice in two days my 7 kids were almost orphaned due to fuckwit drivers, thankfully a guy a gsxer 750 saw it happen today and abused the driver also.

this was no blind spot mirror near miss this was i am on the phone dont give a shit driving

f*** it from now on i'll see if they can dodge a hand full of spark plugs or bolts f*** em

both times i was cruising with the traffic sitting on the speed limit in areas where the cops often patrol

this never happens when i am riding quicker then the rest of the traffic rather then sitting with them, i would rather risk a fine then the risk of not seeing my kids due to another shit cage driver.

talking on the phone instant licence loss, changing lanes not in saftey instant licence loss.pity helps the next c*** who does this to me..perhaps replacing a windscreen might jolt his f*&^ing memory to look rather then talk

that has happened to me too a few times.. amazing how many idiots there are on roads these days
but after my louder exhaust, does not happen as often anymore.

surfabusa exhaust is definitelly loud enough but i can't believe how dumb drivers are! i drive my car every day ( i know very unfortunate) and always keep an eye out for motorcyclists! bravo to the gixxer rider! keep safe mate don't forget about your kevlar glove knuckles!!!!

Has happened many times to me too mate. Often an Alpinestar into the door or mirror reminds them no to do it again. My old man used to ride around with a pocket full of 15mm ball bearings for just such occassions.

WANKERS ALL OF THEM, Next time pull the twat over kick him square in the balls and then shove the wine bottle straight up his arse.
That's me.

Yes hapend to me 18 months back in melbourne i ended up inder a semi trailer and prick or prickless done a runner

YOu have hit the nail on the head with your statement - This never happens when your traveling faster than traffic or lane split to the front at lights - you simply put yourself in the safest possible position available to you, If you were at work your OH&S would expect you to take such actions as to not injure yourself or put yourself in harms way - same should apply to the road IMO

Mate every day I go for a ride on my Busa I notice these f#ckwits eating food,talking on phones, looking at maps doing every thing exept watching what is going on around them.One idiot cut me off the other day and when I tried to pull up next to him at the next lights he did a runner gutless prick.Stay in front and stay safe

[jzbusa]

I had one charge in front of me, pull into my lane & slam on his brakes. All because he didnt like that i lane splitted & got in front of him. Had the wife on the back too. IDIOT

[BUSABAZZ]

Reminds me of a time when i was once a motorcycle courier in Sydney, i was riding along William street and some knob jockey decided to change lanes on top of me, rubbed against my knee, at the lights he had the audacity to abuse ME! so i got off the bike and as i walked over to his car the coward rolled his window up so i just punched out his window, turned his car off and took the keys.... "see yaaaaaa" lol proceeded to the harbour bridge and tossed them on the train tracks.... Problem solved

[bigfoot]

nice work mate!!! i bet he sh!t himself so hard! love it mate!!

[surfabusa]

ozboc could not agree with you more.

it looks like a lot of us has had close calls, really its a wonder the statistics are not worse
ride safe ,stay alert
