Followed an older rider on one of them hooflugdung pretend cruiser things west on Wellington. Came up to a set of lights, he was the first to arrive. So where does he put his bike... right in the middle of the lane dead centre on the oil strip. No prizes for guessing what happened next! He had no kfn idea why he dropped it, none what so ever! Unbelieveable, it was all I could do not to laugh my head off.
Darwin's theory perhaps?

Maybe he wanted to practice his burn outs
Poor guy, it's never fun when you drop a bike but at the same time it would be kind of funny to watch s long as you aren't the one dropping the bike
I was splitting to work one day when the roads were wet, got to the front of a set of lights on a very slight hill and (I didn't know at the time) my rear tyre was on the white paint dividing the lines.. took off at a fairly normal pace and the read tyre spun up and fishtailed between the two cars next to me at the lights, didn't drop the bike or hit either of them but fuck it was a scary experience.. since then I very rarely split when it's raining or the roads are wet.
Straight roads are for fast bikes - corners are for fast riders!
Did you just laugh or help the guy?Originally Posted by flashpixx
Im often surprised at the amount of riders who think the oil slick is a fair place to park, both cruiser and sports

it's instant +100hp
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

sweet... that'd give my 250 about 100Hp! combine that with a cheese cutter rear tyre and it's a recepie for... well, disaster.
He probably slipped the wheel on the loose bolts that fell out of xLitton's hyosung.
didn't need any help, he was standing beside the fallen bike scratching his head. I got out to help but he said he was OK. Just picked it up and went on his wobbly way.

Good to hear on both counts.
Hopefully he learned his lesson. Did you tell him why he crashed so as to save him some head scratching?
Rofl! xLitton's a good guy leave him alone haha.
Work to ride, and ride to work.
I know, I keep forgetting they were stolen, oh wait a sec that was me.
Damn!!! we need more speed cameras to stop this sort of thing happening.
Seriously it may sound like a small oversight but these sorts of things can end up in disaster. If only he was educated in how to operate a motorcycle on the road safely before he was set free to do it this event may not have happened at all.
Good idea, also think banning lane splitting in WA will help too. Every road user, especially cars are at serious risk because of hooligans like this
