    Ah bugger, he implied that I needed a brain and eye transplant :P

    Anyway that's not important. He just proved himself to be one of the problem bikers.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    There are many many of those on the road, I am on the road at least 4 hours a day in that time period I can promise you a doos on his bike either comes flying past at 200km/h or cuts through traffic just to pull in front of you at the very last second, thinking I'll brake for him...I always brake...

    Yep, I have no sympathy for them. 95% of them give the other 5% a bad name and I'm being generous by thinking that there are 5% who are actually driving properly.

    One day I'll invest in a dashboard cam for the day I don't get a chance to brake

    I don't get people being angry at motorcyclists...in my experience they have 10x more situational awareness than car drivers. e.g. If I intentionally drift 20cm to the left side of my lane to let them pass easier they acknowledge that 20cm with a head nod. In contrast car drivers barely acknowledge it if you come to a full stop to let them in.

    Northriding is a little hectic tbh. Weird mix of yuppies hyped up on caffeine and people leaving the location (deepsloot i think) in barely drivable rust buckets.

    I was super impressed at how many pedestrians in that vague area wear high visibility jackets when walking to work though. Demonstrates a level of awareness & judgement that isn't all that common in SA esp lower class folks.

    Well guys i'm sorry to say this and hate me for it but i have first hand exerience seeing as i'm a biker and a motorist, i have had a doos in a BMW come up so close to my wheel that i could actually put my foot on his bonnet, if i went left he came in behind me if i went right he did the same, it went on for about 12 km's when i decided to open up i was doing 220 and this clown still tried the same thing.

    I have had people swerve in front of me and try and push me into barriers because there is a safe space for me to pass and they have to sit behind a truck and wait for a safe pass. I have had motorists overtake almost right into me from oncoming traffic and if i flashed lights at them they would just flash back and even hoot at me and give me the finger as if it's my fault for driving on the right side of the road.

    I have almost been killed by a few motorists that are impatient and then overtake into on coming traffic. so this whole thing goes both ways and that is why i have a gopro it's on record when i ride just for in case some nut hits me and drives off

    So this is a 50/50 debate sure there are wrong bikers just as there are wrong motorists.

    I always thank a motorist that makes way for me ALWAYS be it with a nod or my hazzards or a nice wave of my left hand.
