    I'm sure you do but you seem to have a higher percentage of the other sort
    though. As I've been watching this thread unfold I've seen little in the
    way of adressing the issue from the four wheeled side of the fence but
    plenty of name calling "road biking retards".

    The question was a legitamate one, why won't some of the car enthusiasts
    answer it?

  3. Like when I'm being followed by a pair of bikes through a twisty mountain
    road in my "slinky" suspension jacked up Rangie and they can't seem to keep
    on the correct side of the double lines. :)

  4. Big deal! Bikes beat cars, planes beat bikes, moon rockets beat planes too.

    I don't understand why you cross posted to aus.cars either. You do realise
    just about everyone over in aus.motorcycles drives cars too.

    By one person? :))))))
    Not me.

    When they're trying to drag you off at the lights huh? I don't think so.
    I've been riding bikes for 24 years.

    A
    I was a cycle instructor for the police service. Despite what some of the
    dickheads in aus.moto are about to say I see myself as being reasonably
    experienced in the field.


    Car drivers are all too infrequently poor

    Poor braking distances is one of the reasons I'd rather not have car drivers
    behind me unless it's over great distances. One of the safest places I found
    to ride was just backward of a drivers blindspot. I can outbrake him, out
    manoeuvre him and see what his intentions are by watching the driver. Maybe
    that's just me.

    But the original post indicated that these car drivers are dragging you off
    at the lights. This to me doesn't indicate that the car is that far behind
    you?

    Smee, one of the reasons so many people couldn't be bothered posting in
    aus.moto anymore. I take it you won't be happy until it's you
    and.............you left?

    Poms comes from pome (pronounced like pommy) which means prisoner of
    mother england, or something like that, which is a bit of an insult.
