Collectable motorcycles!

[Hanno]

I did not realise that a 1999 ST1100 was such a collectable motorcycle, this week 3 cars have tried to collect me, 2 changed lanes AS they passed so I had to break hard and one woman was looking at me as she pulled out of a side street so I had to change lanes in a hurry. :(

Damn oath their collectable. I was collected by a truck a few years ago. Collected by a Kangaroo, and on numerous occasions collected by Police in numerous states of Australia.

I forgot about the kangaroo a couple of years ago, was coming home from Martial Arts when one ran out from Ross River, collected my left paniar...$3:00 of plastic costs $1100!

 >:( The worst drivers on the road are 4wd.ers. Today in a two lane turning right onto Riverway Drive the fool in the 4wd beside me in the right hand lane turned right into my lane, the left lane forcing me to go off road for a while. The 99 ST is very collectable!!

Clarification of that, Hanno. The worst drivers in the world are women driving 4 WD's taking their brats to school! They are completely oblivious to the world around them and they think the urban tank and the rug-rat(s) give them some sort of God-given right to go wherever they like, whenever they like, without thought to anyone else in the world. And if they shouted at/gesticulated at, or have a horn blown at them, then it is obviously the fault of the rest of the world, it can't possibly be them!

Whizz,
You are so damn correct - As a driver of a vehicle that occassionally transports their rug rats too school in multiples of 50 - we see the worst of it in School Zones - School Parking - School Drop off Zones - oblivion too them is the world around them and if they don't receive right of way - whoooohooo - what the gesticulating hand movements - all in front of impressionable cheildren ------  don't get me started...................... or I might really tell how it is !!!!!

It's not always "Collectable Motor Cycles" I can assure you all.

I ride

I once slowed for a school crossing, no children on it but it was in the time period, a woman with her school aged rugrats in a fancy, never leave the road, 4wd overtook me on the crossing!

[Sabie]

The worst drives are young males with a red or green "P" runners up are young females with a red or green "P".....

There is a P plater near me with a WRX!

I just feel the need to point out that those women who also ride STs are a lot more aware of their surroundings, even when travelling with rugrats........

Sorry Wendy L but I have to agree with Wizz some what on this one, I happen to live between to schools and see it every day. mind you I have seen the odd male doing much the same but not often,
I do my best to avoid riding during those times if I can help it.
But the worst is in shopping centre carparks hence the reverse lights and truck beeper attached to my Ronda,
it makes slow down very quickly as they cant see the truck........

Wendy, agreed present company excepted; anyone who rides an ST (or any other bike for that matter), is more aware of the world around them...and its a bit hard to get very many rugrats on a bike
