1. Absolutely Pete! My wife has said to me, many times, "I always liked a 'bad boy'" ...worked for me

2. Good ****! There's a reason to keep going

161?? What's your secret mate?

161 =
50 **** a day
sex six days a week, twice on Sunday
A bottle of Capt Morgan every two days

(I'm only 19 but I look 161) hehehe
Must be all the squinting from pullin' pudding in between the mad sex- the doc said it would give me a headache, but I found it was just my underpants were too tight.

I woulda passed them, too, if I had a clean shot. And I likely would have done it as fast as I could.
Whether it's a cage or bike doesn't matter me. If they're going slow and I can safely pass them, then that's what I do.

Same here

i would pass them as soon as i am able to do it safely, and if i am felling lazy that day i,ll just sit behind them slowly.

But if they are ok they will oblige to the etiquette, same with the rider salut, 90 % do it, 10% thin the are above and don,t need to do it.

Don't anybody throw anything at me, but I caught up with a group of nine Harleys the other day while driving my '99 Mercury Mystake. Six in the left lane, three staggered in the right. I moved to the right lane, thinking the three would merge with their buddies. Nope. Mile after mile, a rolling roadblock. My horn only got me the usual obscene gestures. So creative, these hawg rahders. How DO the brain dead get licenses?

It's ok mate, most of us drive too sometimes.

Arrogant pr!cks! something that really gives me road rage (or road 'mild annoyance' at least) is people who don't keep out of the overtaking lane. Pull out, overtake, then get back in the correct lane...doesn't sound too hard does it? Maybe some basic I.Q. test should be attached to the driving test??

Overtake them as soon as safe to do so, try not to get done for speeding soon after tho it sorta ruin's it.

I ran up behind a group of 80 or so patch riders north of Cairns one weekend, I was on the ZRX with my 10 yr old daughter on the back, they were doin about 90 - 100kph & the road was just getting interesting. I still got past all of them in 1 shot without endangering anyone (especially my daughter). I admit to being a little nervous 100 k.s from nowhere & a bunch of brain dead self important dipsticks my only nearby companions. But noway could I sit behind, it just ain't right.

I stopped for fuel & a drink (38'C in the shade) before turning & heading home, they all rode past, not one even looked sideways, to proud to acknowledge a Japper.

I'd pass them and hit the kill switch for a couple of quick backfires and watch them swerve.......hehehe
No manners deserves appropriate treatment IMO
