Irritations - dump here thread

Now go and change your Lycra."

That's why lycra is worn is it? Never thought of it as being leakproof

[kiwigeo]

Here's some lycra...and not a bike in sight

All that ridiculous nonsense should be banned too.

[Chief Tiff]

Agreed. Lycra clothing should be limitted to certain sports only and in minimal amounts. A good example could be women's volleyball...

[Rum Pig]

Yeah.

My motorbike has to run its headlight acc to Vic law and I can tell you that when the globe blew and I rode for a few days without it, cars were much less likely to notice me. I put one of those high efficiency units in and that helps - except for bl**dy women in 4WDs in the mid-Eastern suburbs. They cut you off after seeing you or they don't even look.

OK, not all women and not all 4bies, and some men, but the pattern is striking.

I usually catch up with them at the lights, stare into their door window, and then slowly reach out and fold the wing mirror in. Too subtle?

You need to come to Darwin for a ride. We call motorcycle riders temporary citizens(not because of there riding skills because of the other drivers) and road rage is taught in driving schools instead of learning how to drive
I love it when someone decide to have a go at me I just look at them and then blow them a kiss and the reactions are normally priceless.
I once got into a driving argument over a to##*r who throw rubbish out the window and hit my car he thought he would be tough and stop indicating he would like it to get physical but I have never seen someone drive away so fast when he seen me stop as well

[Rum Pig]

While ranting about driving.
I hate how every one now is driving road trains and no one can negotiate a corner without using the whole bloody road. What happened to the days when drivers knew how big their cars are and could drive around corners on their side of the road

I used to ride a tandem with a blind mate. We had an orange thrown at us (accurately) by someone from a busload of young footballers. Now a tandem on the flat can travel pretty quickly on the flat, especially when it's adrenaline powered. At first, the occupants of the bus thought it was pretty funny watching these old blokes on a bike chasing them, but when we caught them, passed them an blocked them at the next set of lights, and told the driver what had happened, and that he wasn't going anywhere until we spoke to the bloke who threw the orange, we soon had a very embarrassed young bloke being ear-dragged out by his coach.

Ha, love it Alex. Nicely done.

Not so brave when face to face are they

Brilliant! Better than keying the bus Ern-style.

[rsser]

OK, I was young and full of rage.

Now I'm older and only half full.

Make sure you dispose of the solvent in an environmentally friendly manner.
Cheers,
Jim
