Thread: My Motorbike riding days are over!

The reason he didn't see me was because my bike wasn't on the adjacent footpath, wasn't about 17 years old, and wasn't wearing a boob tube and an extremely short skirt!

So logic says if you want to be safe whilst riding around the city then dress in drag? Heres me thinking the dykes on bikes looked a bit rough around the edges.

One of our salesman had a bike rider fly through a stop sign & into a new D3 he was driving.
I'd hate to think how fast the bike was going but he wrote the Disco off.


And no, the rider didn't survive.

the vast majority of us do this to avoid being a sitting duck, the most common traffic accident is rear enders.

having said that, scooter riders who lane split to the head of the intersection are suicidal.

na scooter riders are suicidal.

I can think of another word to describe a grown bloke on a Vespa, it's not nice though.

okay dobbo I'll do it for you.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That was one good thing with my Brothers accident last week. THe Army guys took control and cleard everything while keeping the traffic moving and out of the way.

Sorry to hear about the collision mate (let's face it, it wasn't an accident) but glad you're ok.

Never had an off on the road, gone down at MG corner though.
