Selling the bike buying a fucking tank!

[Pol Anorl]

Ive officialy decided to buy a tank! maybe cagers wont fuck with me then!

on route to pick the other half up just came off a roundabout onto a road with speed humps on it that are like jumps!

came round the first corner to a car in the middle of the road 50% in each lane doing about 50mph between the speedhumps...

I quickly realised im probably going to die as the left hand side of the speedhump is currently covered in mud and shit from farmers and I cant go through the middle as he was there..

Luckily he was going fast enough to get off it and swerve into his lane in time for me to squeeze through whilst jamming on the brakes..

unfortunately the car behind him sat right up his arse couldn't see me

and theres him panicked as the car infront slammed on his brakes.. turning hard right into my lane even more!

I made the choice and the speed hump was my destiny

landed with bollocks on the tank and handlebars throwing themselves all over the place.

No idea how I managed to stay on but I did.. legs all over the place whilst some woman stood by her car watching it all happen.

I stopped and noticed he decided not to hang around.

link of road on google..

funnily shows a car just about to go inbetween the speedhumps..

Im now walking a little like john wayne.

Last I heard you can legally drive one of these on the road:

Why the fuck do they do that?
its pointless!
( unless maybe you're carrying nitro glycerine)

My wee vans the same size as a normal/smallish car
and I just straddle those little lumpy ones and hardly feel it
There's no need to veer into the middle of the road.

Perhaps those dumb bastards think they're going to hit the great pyramid of Giza or summat.
maybe they're on drugs?

Just get some RPG launchers fitted to your bike and connected to the horn switch, use as needed

[Islander]

Would you like crushed nuts with that?

[Wonko The Sane]

I have more issues with things like this in the car than I have on the bike, keep saying I'm going to buy an old landrover and a tin of hamerite

"I'm unaware of any incident"

Sorry ... I don't understand the account of the incident.
Maybe if there was some form of visual representation to aid my understanding ... using some form of digital canvas and PAINT if you will, to scribe a diagram



I'm sure I'll go down as sounding like a complete prick saying this ... but if you know your local area / commute is filled with blind fucktards.
Why are you still riding around like they are all saints?
I always test the water when riding through a new area, treating everyone like armless, dyslectic, phone wielding monkeys.
Yet I'm sure you've had this problem before, shouldn't you of already purchased the tank

Just be careful when you're coming off roundabouts ffs

I travel down this road regularly. These speed humps are ridiculous - there's lots of them around the Thanet area (and elsewhere, of course). If they're going to put down humps, they need the ones that cover the whole road to stop moron cagers pulling this trick.

Safer to use New Haine Road - and just filter the traffic, rather than using (old) Haine Road which helps you bypass the queues but at the expense of some cage fighter wiping you out.

Friend drove a tank on the road, lasted all of about 3 weeks before he got bored of 20mph.

[dydey90]

I don't know what the complaint is about. Steve McQueen managed it without any problems...

Can anyone translate into English?

It sounds a bit like he went knee down round a bend into a 30mph zone, fully committing to using the middle of the road to avoid the clearly signed speed humps, while failing to observe that two oncoming cars were already occupying that area of space.

Then rather than slowing down, moving safely to the left, and coming to a stop if necessary, he gripped and twisted and chose to swerve very slightly left onto the speed hump at the last second, thereby causing a crisis where none need have existed.

Surely not...

Indeed; I can just see trying to get a 'no fault' claim.
"Well, I approached the traffic calming WAY too fast to go over it, so had to use the middle of the road, where others vehicles were already doing the same; I caused another vehicle to panic and slow down because I was directly in their path."

[anthony_r6]

You should get a Tank, but I don't think it's going to stop you getting bullied on the road.

Good idea Divvy, if you get a tank you wont have to worry about how to clean a visor.

[clancy]

Surely this is your own fault for going to fast to go over the speed humps ?

Yes, HE wanted to go though the gaps and was pissed off/shocked/fucked when a car did exactly that.

Take that rage and direct it at the local council - get them to put double white lines on that road.
