If it was you are you dead yet??? No? But it won't be long before you are. Give car drivers a break.
You are the reason why I laugh my tits off at bikers.
I gave you loads of room to pass on the inside but you wanted to ride 2 inches off my rear bumper. Sooner YOU are off the road the better:)

D*ckhead,
no biker(or car driver for that matter) in thier right mind would "undertake"
read the highway code instead of bating bikers


alanjack 26 September 2002 10:25 PM

Noble, Do you mean I am a bell end?
Sorry mate:( get your facts in order, 99% of bikers pass cars on the inside whilst motorway driving, and please, read our dictionary:rolleyes:
THIER:D indeed:)
Shocking spelling.

Regacy 26 September 2002 10:30 PM

Dear di*khead
From the Highway Code....
"only overtake on the left if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right, and there is room to do so"
To be precise!

D Noble 26 September 2002 10:35 PM

If i am holding someone back in what ever lane on either bike or car i will indicate and pull over that is what you are supposed to do,whether "99% of bikers" do or do not pass on the inside is up to them ,but it is common curtesy to move over if the lane on the inside is clear!!

and i do know about "i before e except.... ,im just cr4P at typing;)

alan

you do not like bikes, do you!

yes there are tossers on bikes and maybe the guy on the r6 was a tw*t...but i do think you may have a little complex about them


alanjack 27 September 2002 05:58 PM

Yes I like bikes:),
And yes, I have a complex about toss riding aswell.

TurboKitty 27 September 2002 06:15 PM

:rolleyes: at any driver who expects a bike rider to perform an illegal manoeuvre just because they're too lazy to move over and because "99% of bikers do it".

If a biker was inches off my bumper I'd move over and let him past, but then again, I probably wouldn't have to as (I hope) I'd have seen him and moved over before he was within inches of my bumper.

alanjack 27 September 2002 08:41 PM

I couldn't move as the middle lane was solid which supports my claim that this particular sh1thouse has got a death wish.
If any of you drive the M6 in the mornings you know how busy it is and this guy is just asking to meet his maker. So be it then:( and it doesn't suprise me that half of you bikers actually think I am at fault in this regard.

D Noble 27 September 2002 09:59 PM

Mate,
you are contradicting yourself there, if the inside lane was solid how did you leave room to pass on the inside????.

just admit it you were in the wrong this once,and learn the lesson that other drivers are not telepathic,so follow the highway code"mirror signal manouvre....."

regards
dave

alanjack 27 September 2002 10:28 PM

We are talking about bikers here Nob.:D
Go back to sleep.

D Noble 27 September 2002 10:57 PM

what a well thoughtout discussion/argument......not

my final words on this "nonsense post" are that you must be thick to think that a biker(even one of the so called 99% that you seem to have facts on) would squeeze between your ar$e end and the car on the inside then hare up the 15/20 ft space(too small for you to get in) and over take in front of you!!

just dont do it again! let him pass on the correct side its what he wanted to do in the first place!
somebody would have let you in if you had only the gumption to use your indicators

alanjack 28 September 2002 09:00 AM

Not on the M6 they won't:D
Are the roads in Ayr really that narrow then?

wrxstiman 28 September 2002 06:21 PM

bikers always undertake. What is the big deal??
Most car drivers dont see them or do not pull over so let them undertake and give a sh1t about it!!

SteveB 29 September 2002 01:48 PM

As a Scoob owner and R6(sorry) rider i'd like to make the following comments -

When driving the car on the motorway, if it becomes really busy and the speed reduces to below 30mph, then I always move to one side of the lane i'm in to let the bikers come through(and 100% of them do!) - so that means if i'm in the outside lane then I move to the right and the bike undertake me. The majority of cars do the same.
When i'm on the bike I tend to be on the white line between lanes two and three because most people in lane three are trying to peer around the car in front so are on the right of the lane and most people seeing you approaching(always ride with the light on) pull over slightly to give you room. Once the speed picks up then I do as the highway code says.

Steve.

I have always thought that bikes passing cars on a busy motorway on the inside are suicidal idiots. It only needs the car driver to decide to move into an inner lane without checking their mirrors correctly and the biker is squashed.

Surely its far safer for bikers to pass on the right hand side of Lane 3 then the car driver is unlikely to pull out on one?

NotoriousREV 30 September 2002 04:31 PM

I use the M6 regularly on my Gixxer 6 and will not "lane split" at anything over about 30mph as it's a nice way to end up dead.

Remember, if you fall off on a motorway if you're lucky you'll only get hit by one car, if your not it'll be 4 cars, a truck and a Tranny van.

Yes, a lot of bikes do this at much higher speeds, I don't, I like life. I find that the sight of a bike with headlights blazing (NOT full beams) makes most people move out of the way without resorting to tailgating.

alanjack, what car do drive so I can avoid you on the M6, as clearly the chip on your shoulder takes up 2 lanes?
