Hi guys, I wanted to start a thread where people could post near misses after they happen (recently)... I dont like telling my wife about some of them cause she freaks out (she`s a worry wort)..

 

Anyway,.. just got fuel after nightshift at the local servo yesterray and 2 cars up ahead of me a car stopped dead in the middle of the road.... the car immediately in front mustn`t have noticed straight away and he had to almost lock up... leaving me, amost running up the arse... I just managed to get around the right side of him and zoomed past them both....lucky as fuck...grrr.....

Just bikes or cars too mister careyman?

I was in the left lane near the entrance to a roundabout and had a p plater turn left in front of me from the right lane last sat morning. He/she was doing about 90ish and didn't give fuck like they do it all the time. Dickhead!! At least i was in the workute.

did she/he do the opps srry wave or anything? the stupid bitch who stopped dead just looked straight ahead,,,

hell yeah there are a lot of dickheads out there! the other nigh on the way home about 11pm i came up to an intersection and i saw this white hatch back about to turn into my lane (mind you im about 30m from this car) so she (yeah it was a she and and Asian too!) decides to pull out in front of me! Fucken prize winner there! so i was ready for this as i saw this coming and ready to jump in the next lane (already checked it was clear) but NOOOO miss fuckhead pulled out into the middle of the road forcing me to slam the brakes on. as i pass her not saying anything just looking at her she yells at me "Fucking hoon you could have hit me" and honestly i was not speeding so i slowed right down next to her and unleashed a few choice words along the lines of "Shut your fucking face and listen up special, you almost killed me just then. When you do kill someone with your retarded driving are you going to tell their kids why you murdered their dad?" she then proceed to yell at me in what ever gibber jabber miss Meaggie speaks, sooooo i replay with "If your going to yell at me at least do it in english" and then SMASH!! there goes her wing mirror! it made me feel a little better HA!

I went to a sweeping left turn onto a main road, I had the give way sign and the car on the main road had his indicator on as if turning. I just had a weird feeling he wasn't going to turn (cars take the turn at 100kms all the time) and I hammered to a stop. Sure enough a dumbass P plater went straight ahead.
Only points he got is he slammed on his brakes, pulled over and got out of the car. I could see him mouthing sorry and he sat down on the side of the road, looking more shaken than I was. A second before I was looking at my tank wondering if I had fuel enough to follow him home, but I just shrugged at him and rode off. I thought about going up to him, but I still wanted to thump him.
Trust your instincts and ride safe. Fuck em all.

That's the thing with all these fuckheads. Even though it is their fault the 99% mojority blame us and have the
Audacity to even abuse us. Tools. Fuck em all.

last weekend had the wife on the back for just her second ride. quick little ride to freo for a coffee. not long after leaving home we were heading towards greenlight in right hand lane and a stupid fucking paki decides he doesnt want to wait for the arrow anymore and just pulls straight out into my lane. very lucky to slide around him. he was even luckier that he kept his wing mirror as i was very tempted to take as a souvenir. well once HE started abusing ME i was fucking spewing i ddint kick the cunt off like i should have. gutless fucking prick waited to turn off at next set of lights before he started giving the finger and carrying on too. paki was very lucky wife was with me as i would have suddenly found a reason to turn too.

...... and when is the wifey going to learn that everytime she says "settle down" that this is as good as a waving red hanky at me.

yea it really pisses me off people moving to block you especially when you filter at stopped traffic...

Got hit in a cemetery today. My aerofoil pegs marked up his front bumper. Guy was parked and decided he would turn right, no indicators no nothing.

Stopped to check out the damage to my bike (all OK) and to his car and simply said to the driver rather loudly "are you blind" or words to that effect. He drove off really quick. The irony of this is there must be at leat 5km of roads in the cemetery and only two vehicles.

Riding home from Port Albert recently. Rode into a sweeping right hander, coming towards me a 4x4 towing a caravan is just starting to drift over the white line, I am looking at the side of the road and then the direction of his wheels as he keeps coming onto my side of the road. I am now on the very edge of the gravel and still have the bike laying over a little when he realises he is 2/3 on the wrong side of the road. As he swerves back to his side of the road the caravan does the usual whip thing and passes us within 500mm. I am in between the white line on the edge of the bitumen and the gravel, looking in my mirror to make sure my mate SIlver and his partner have not been hit by the swing of the van. This is the closest call I have had and would have been a 200 klm impact. I dont know if he was asleep or on his phone. Fucking pissed me off cos I was really nervous for the rest of the trip home. Have had 3 similar incidents this year, 99% sure they were all mobile phone fuckwits.

The big trouble with chasing someone after an incident like this is that we are the bad guys. Are the coppers gunna believe me or the family man on holiday with his kids/ the young uni student/ nanna on her way home from church.

Just stay alert out there guys, safe ride.

Well said Burnzi , my pet hate also , always in the worst possible spot too , like they almost don`t give a fuck , blind bends especially , had it happen with a 4x4 up the Wisemans and a flatbed rigid and mower trailor down Mt Kosiosko on a half blind 35km corner had a green metre to play with before goin`bush with the missus on the back and held my breath an hoped for the best as i laid it over to get it around in the leaves and green mossy shit , both narrow misses on pretty narrow tracks , luckily he did the big heav`hoe , thought being a blind corner and being a older trucker type fella he coulda at least sounded his horn , i think he wasn`t expectin anyone and shit just as hard if not more than i did ? Just after that came around another half blind corner doin @85km/h and spooked a big dingo right in the middle of me lane , the fucka near jumped in me lap , he launched about 3 feet straight up in the air as he shit and bolted up the bush , i though farken`ell what next , then i remembered the Brumby signs , i thought fuck , nahhh ?
Last place ya would want to go bush hey , goin` around Kosiosko , only passed about 5 other vehicles the whole way ?
Seriously , it seems to get worse on the roads each year hey !

seems like every week i have a near miss with stupid cars in peak hour traffic .............so much so that i find myself getting less and less angry with most of the fucktards ... waste of time and energy

 I wonder if this rider escaped in time. hope hes ok. bikes not good as you can see.

 On the way home saw a young p plate girl putting her makeup on while driving, powder thing in left hand whilst holding steering wheel, and brush in right hand, looking into makeup mirror,  all while supposedly keeping an eye on the road. Yeah right. Then at the next lights its makeup down and you guessed it, phone in left hand now and right hand madly flicking away at the screen. Didn't care one bit who was watching or around. She will learn one day when it's too late.

Cruising to work on the wife's Hunter Spyder at 14:00 pull onto one of our main roads, sat at 60 in the right lane, a car just to the rear in the left lane, around 150m up the road, a car with plenty of time turning right pulls across the road and having cars traveling the other way to me SHE had to give way to them, so by now I am 80m at 60K's thinking move along, this Muppet does not pull into the gap in the median strip big enough for my Triton, stops in my lane, so I get on the brakes and the horn, the car traveling with me can see the accident about to happen gets on the brakes, I have nowere to go, I have to stop in my lane next to her back door
' "i have to ask her to get of the road, she flips me off with "i knew you were there" I said "good, get the fuck off the road you moron"
she goes on as if she was in the right, I was so close to doggen this bitch to the police, stupidity only runs so far

Ironic
the same intersection I T-Boned a commodore on my Nightrain a couple years ago

so many fuckwits..... we are too laid back i think.... FLH, i hope u got next to her and slapped your helmet like "u fucked in the head?"

+1 for the mirrors.
