not all motorcyclists are stupid on the road.....some of us do pay attention on the road and dont ride crazy thinking we are invincible....

I saw one guy the other day in peak hour traffic (i was on the train) with no helmet and no leathers driving down the emergency lane on the freeway.

*tsk tsk*

He was however, driving some big farty sounding harley-type motorbike.

It's not always the rider though is it? The number of times I've seen riders almost go under the wheels of some spanner changing lanes without checking their blind spot....

Motorcycles can be safe, and heaps of fun, although MotoX and Quad Biking is safer than road biking, you can only injure yourself, and have no one in your way or anyone that you could harm. But realistically it's normal cyclist that are putting themselves in greater danger, especially when doing 20km/h on a 60-80km/h main road in peak hour, why they need the entire lane when there's a wide, empty walkway next to them I don't know. In fact most people who drive in Brisbane in their sh*t-boxes and have never driven out of their suburb, or for more than 2hours at a time need to hand in their licences, and you give way to the right at a round about, not just drive through however you like. I'm not surprised the Forester got run up the back Frank, this city is insane when it comes to driving. eg The STi getting side swiped in an empty car park, nearly hitting three 20km/h cyclists in one day on the same road, me and a WRX having to weave through a 90km/h highway full of 70km/h drivers, having to make sure the car on your left is stopping on a round about, not just attempting to T-Bone you.......thank f**k I hardly have to drive for the next 2-3yrs. And not in QLD. That was a good rant. Nick

Because it's illegal for them to ride on the walkway.

Actually the rule states you give way to any car already on (or the first car to enter) the roundabout.

[Richo]

atleast QLD drivers give way when merging. Most WA drivers are too busy trying to be infront of everyone else.

[DukeNik'em]

Not in QLD mate. Last time I checked (few yrs back) we have dual usage of both walkways and roads, plus we have roads setup with bike lanes for people to ride, one of which was close to the road I was on. I cycle myself, but never on a busy roadway when I can't keep pace. As i'm as much of a hazrd as a car travelling at 20km/h. (which if i remember correctly is an offence on a public roadway without proper reason)

Actually the rule states you give way to any car already on (or the first car to enter) the roundabout.

I'm talking about cars entering the roundabouts, as in halted as I approach the roundabout to their right.

I give way to those already on the roundabout, and have no problem with those who judge me far enough away for them to enter with out incident.

And Richo I've got mates in Perth, they say the same thing.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

People are inherently stupid. No matter the circumstances you CAN/WILL get hurt.
Its not a matter of if, its a matter of WHEN.

The trade off is the enjoyment you get from said activities. Personally I'd much rather ride/race in a controlled environment then anywhere near a public road.

Primarily because the meat wagon is always on hand.

Some people profer to be "safe". (you could get run down and die tomorow, walking down the street ffs.)
Personally scrabble and warm milk doesn't do it for me.

You only live once, how long is entirely up to you.
But for me, I'd rather do everything I want to and live to 60, then avoid everything "Dangerous" and live till 90.

What a fukken start to the day.
Some one wasn't paying attention to the traffic ahead of them this morning.
So ends up, Mary's car is now quite a few inches shorter, and my daughter has been taken to hospital with a sore neck and headache, which we suspect is nothing too bad, perhaps a strain.
FARRRRRRKKKKKKKKENNNNNNNN HELL.





It was a hard hit, but the Foz coped quite well. The Daewoo was not drivable.
Now both the B4 and the XT are at panel shops, I hope they give me a hire car.

Oh Mez. R is for REVERSE, not Rally. More Bar Wall goodness Frankie. Will sit nicely beside the old bonnet a la powerpole.

rant/ Fcukwhitts on the road who dont let you in in peak hour traffic when trying too change lanes!!!! Happened twice with in 5 minutes of each other!!! THEN people turning right on a T intersection form a stop sign when your turning right across infront of them! Fcuk me i wasnt happy when i got home!! Slightly smaller rant/ Some P plater with my dream car!! R34 GTR In Midnight Blue. Seen this guy twice in two days, poor cars gonna be written off soon probably. Got some bloody hot wheels on it with some nice dish and a zorst AND BLOODY P PLATES! Stupid car for someone on their P's too have.

[fatcat67]

Nick I'm sure we can't ride on the footpath/walkway in QLD. Soop, you are talking out your ass. "I'd like to live fast and dye young", yadda, yadda, Horseballs!!!. Wait 'till you get on the wrong side of 40 and you've had/still having fun. See what you are telling the young wankers then. Jarrod, you are a dead man. Well that's what the screaming mad woman said.

[Soop]

No I'm not. I understand the dangers. I choose to take the risk. Easy. When I'm on the wrong side of 40, no doubt I'll have a different story. But hey, I'll have been there done that.... I certainlly don't want to "live fast, die young." But I'm not about to wrap myself in cotton wool either. Base jumping for one, that can go f*ck its self with a fist.

Mate I was getting a GC8 or Bug eye Rex before the non-turbo rules came up here, R34's not silly car as they are very safe in some aspects and newer than most p-plate sh*tboxes you see.

And Paul, i'm unclear what you were trying to say about MotoX and Quad Biking? I like it, it's fun and exciting and safer than road biking. Sounds like you ride aswell........
