GLuvsMtb Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 OP, please post a selfie... on your scooter... naked... while eating a donut, otherwise your post is meaningless.
Patchelicious Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Sleeveless vests makes you drive ***. If you think MTBers cant drive on roads, you must see the chaos they cause when they bring those knobbly bikes with broomstick handles bars onto the tar, now that is a spectacle!
River Rat Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Always thought those Pyga's were trouble.
dirtrider Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Really you can't generalize like that , all car drivers drives like knobs
EmptyB Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Some guy in his dark coloured Amarok travelling on N1 South yesterday. He has a Pyga and a Silverback on his bike rack. About Menlynn it rains and he is driving innthe righthand lane. Im on a motorcycle in the second lane from the right with an broken down vehicle in the fast lane. The amarok swerves into me without any warning. Luckily i manage to avoid the Amarok. Very scary. Seeing you own an Amorok and the Pyga you know who you are. You drive like an appy chop.Thanks for the most arbitrary generalisation I've ever heard!! I drive a VW and ride Pyga and was nearly sideswiped today by a guy in a Jeep with a Cannondale road bike on the back...he was too busy talking on his cell phone too even notice me....obviously all roadies drive like that then!!

You see, once they have a go at MTBing they are stuffed. The only real generalization that holds water: there is a direct correlation with the lack of sleeves and respect for your fellow man.
RocknRolla Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Wait till you meet a guy with a singlespeed strapped to the back of a car....

ChUkKy Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Shame, man, haven't VW drivers been through enough already with the scandal
Harryn Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 This one has loads of promise, but its 6 days early.
madbradd Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 The other day I was driving my Beemer with my MTB and my Road bike on the rack. I was in the middle lane (and not flashing my lights at anyone) with another car in the right lane about a car length in front when this lane splitting motorcyclist rides past me. While he's riding past me he gets overtaken by another lane splitting motorcycle! I've also been overtaken by motorcycles whilst driving in the fast lane..... With the motorcycle overtaking on the right.... While the rider is wearing a "think bike" vest. So to the OP, you have a semivalid rant. Not a cool situation to be in, nobody likes their life to be in danger. Glad you made it out the other side. But don't go pointing fingers at an entire community about driving when "your community" don't drive to the conditions or obey the law. About 90 percent of bikes I see on the road do not have number plates, and in the 15 years I've been driving I think that I can count the number of motorcyclists I've seen on the highway driving legally (with a number plate, at less than the speed limit and not lane splitting) could be counted on 1 hand. So really, thank you for the reminder that we need to be careful on the road, no matter what vehicle we are driving and whether or not we even have bikes on the car. We all make mistakes, and other people make mistakes - just knowing this and being aware of it whilst on the road increases your chances of survival. But please don't make unfounded generalisations in a public forum. Finger pointing about road safety...... really???? You're just being a self righteous tool.
