I'm seriously thinking about giving up motorcycling, I'm aware of the risks and have crashed a few times when I was younger but they were my fault. Had a 4WD pull out across two lanes in front of me in plain site this morning, only half stopping when I was about 5 meters away. I wasn't speeding, had headlight and hi vis jacket on!

Had 2 accidents in 6 month period not my fault both due to driver in attention . Made the decision to sell the bike after riding all my life couldn't stomach wife and son having to have me disabled or killed. Driver education needs an overhaul.

Miss riding but not the incidents . I see Motorsport as a safer option now .

I'm with you guys all the way. Respect motorcyclists a lot.

I watched this in the youtube and opened my eyes a bit. Watch a few of them. Some dude from Perth. Pretty funny.

Check this one @ 2:28 - LoL



Another in the 'series' ..

First one, there was no need to overtake; it certainly didn't get him anywhere apart from force the guy in the white ute back a bit more.


The guy on the bike is a tool. As a bike rider, it is not your 'entitlement' to lane-split or weave through traffic.

Perfect example of how bike riders believe that only 'some' of the road rules and general courtesy apply to them - these things work both ways.


Thanks for sharing

Jezza, there was nothing wrong with that overtaking move I would have been past him and few cars further to avoid any of that tailgating stuff, the other guy in the other vid was pushing his luck.

I don't see anything wrong with the overtaking either. It may have only gotten him one car ahead but if someone can't do the speed limit, then expect to be overtaken. I certainly wouldn't lose my shit if a motorcyclist chose to overtake me, safe or otherwise. He's the one who is going to get hurt if it turns out to be a bad choice...
