Must be something to do with the success of the SSM vote....
While i was crawling in traffic on the western ring rd due to a semi trying to jump the concrete barrier into the other direction of traffic, i saw bike with a rider in hi-vis green approaching.
Didnt look right as bike was quite narrow but sort of looked like a a bike cop from afar, as he got closer i could he was riding a super motard of some kind.
A few more rode past a few seconds later.

WTF is a '"super motard" ? , not some sort of limp wristed psuedo scooter as Vlad suggests but some sort of dirt off road bike ??

Essentially a dirt bike with a small front wheel and road tyres, very nimble for negotiating traffic which is why i think they are using them.

They need about 500 of them on the ground,,, might stop a few people from using phones whilst driving. They'd soon recoup the money spent on labour/machines and training.
Would be a good choice, our coppers have some off road bikes for getting along tracks next to railways etc, those would be a good all rounder.
‘‘Twas a day of semis doing dumb **** all over Melbourne today. Not only the one on the ring road, but the entry ramp Fromm Dynon road to the freeway was closed and a Toll truck being righted by a big arse crane, then driving down little boundary road this arvo at the rounderbout to boundary road, a container was lying on its side in the middle of the road - no truck that I could see, I think it just fell off a truck that managed to stay upright. 2 Police there looking a bit perplexed about what to do - think it had only just happened.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
Speaking of that, on the news this morning, they were saying that at that very scene, drivers were going past videoing the crashed truck while driving....at least one apparently got booked for it....talk about dumb and dumber....and taking rubber-necking to the next level.

OK, thanks all for the 'heads up'. I've learnt a new term here "lane filtering". I take it this refers to motor bikes weaving through slow moving/peak hour traffic. Are there any rules or guide lines for this ? I was of the opinion that I 'owned' the lane that I was in, no problem with slow moving bikes weaving through but when slow moving bikes become fast moving bikes and they clean up mirrors or the side or rear of your vehicle who's at fault/liability ?? Do I need to indicate if I'm moving within my own lane ??
