What?

Wasn't what you were saying that the bike rider would be at fault? Of course the driver would walk its a 1.5 tone car vs 650kg lol

hahahah. well the bike rider wouldnt walk again. prob...

At the end of the day, whoever is at fault, the bike rider pays the price. Exactly why I used to ride with no farks given for the rules, I was looking out for number 1, just trying to stay alive. 20k's over seemed to keep me in the clear, overtaking cars before they realised I was there, and kept me out of blind spots.

Unfortunately the police never agreed with my theory on this...

Paul you're soo confusing bro. As much as I like you, you've just made my head explode

bahaha.

as indicated was trolling cos boredom...

yes the mazda cut that kid up, but as someone whos been riding for nearly 15 years, the kid on the bike should never have been in that postion in the first place. as birds stated, defensive riding man. its dangerous enough on a bike with out trying to hide in blind spots, then complaining about it.

This. Being in the right isn't a good consolation prize when you're dead.

I speed off from every light (after looking both ways for red light runners) to keep ahead of traffic; I pass cars at 40-50 over the speed limit, just so I'm sitting next to them for as little time as possible.

The law will get you killed on a motor bike, if you ride how they want you to. They would defect my loud as shit exhaust that makes every car aware of my presence. Every alive rider who has been riding for years knows to disregard laws, acquire legs.

Yes Mazda driver was a f**khead. Had he indicated for even a few seconds before moving over, the bike would have known to slow down, else face a potential merging car. Unfortunately most people on the road don't know the meaning of the word indicator. And unfortunately a lot of riders don't remember that cars do this shit, so they sit next to them waiting for it to happen.

yep I NEVER sit next to a car

also lane splitting to the front of lights is good so you can get away, sitting in traffic with the cars makes you more at risk

As for sitting in the right of the left lane...the idea behind this is so cars that do see you, don't try to lane share cause they think there's enough space. I'm a bit of a left lane person myself, only cause I'd rather take my chances with front lawns and poles than oncoming traffic or the lanes next to me / shit that can run over me.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
