Title: The I Saw you, did you see me thread aka Spotted!
Post by: Kwikasfuki on April 02, 2012, 09:49:25 PM
On the M60 today, near the M56 turning to Manchester Airport. Magnesium GTR on a '10 plate without panniers. I think the reg starts with MK10. I was the Audi driver that courteously gave more filtering apace

It'll be the end of the world when BMW and Mercedes drivers start to use their indicators.

Having never driven one of those cars, I can only surmise that the indicators are over on the passenger side and thus can't be used by the driver  :smiley:

Alas, down here the missing indicators goes far beyond the "prestige " models, in fact it is quite classless, as are the  :censored: driving them.

Also widespread is the missing hand brake.  Here class, for the moment at least, plays a part; The newer U/M vehicles have brake lights that can be seen from space  :gun_bandana:   Their drivers   :asshole: sit for three minutes or more at the traffic lights thereby blinding the poor bugger behind them.  USE YOUR  :censored: HANDBRAKE  :ohplease:

In my defence (and others) I drive a CLK Merc and a Lexus RX300 both have stoopid Parking brakes NOT handbrakes so I have no choice but to blind followers. Sorry!!!!!

Now!!!!! Foglights in the rain thats a different rant which I will fully support.

If only i could get heat seeking mini missiles fitted to the front and wipe out every innappropiately used fog light,

Hi Coman37

Thank you for explaining the parking/handbrake problem, I had no idea that it was not possible to apply a hand brake whilst at the lights.

Kind of steals my thunder;  I was also planning on one of those missiles to which you refer :mfr_lol:

However, I am not sure that your explanantion applies to every make of car so perhaps the missle is still an option :mfr_lol:

Well I saw 3 GTRs at RAF run on Sunday in the Shrewsbury park and ride car park. There was Trotter's and 2 others,
a couple on one from Cradley Kawasaki I think, and a couple on a grey one with home made hand wind deflectors. Didn't get their names sorry. The people not the deflectors, before you say owt!

My vehicle doesn't have a hand brake either.  :sad:
The only way to keep it from rolling sometimes is to keep the right foot on the brake pedal.
Unfortunately it's just too heavy to stop it from rolling (especially backwards) even with both feet down.
You guessed it  :stupid: it's a GTR.  :mfr_lol:

BMW indicators???

Don't get me started on indicators!!!!

If we are talking cars, no  :single fuck:ER where I live seems to have them.  And the four by four folks also failed to bother with the "How wide is my car and how many metres from the nearside parked cars am I?" option.

But they obvious;ly paid for the "How to drive down the centre of a residential street and totally ignore the existance of any other :single fuck: ing road users"  Driving Course.  :asshole:s

oh dear... yo can tell i'm on a touring forum  :oops: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Hooning is a derogatory term used in Australia and New Zealand, to refer to a anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives a car or boat in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, that is, fast, noisily and/or dangerously. In New Zealand, the term "boy racer" is also widely used. Another slang term, revhead — derived from "rev", an alternate term for RPM — is sometimes used in place of hoon. However, "revhead" can refer to any car enthusiast, while hoon is always pejorative. "Anti-hoon laws", while they generally concern road vehicles, sometimes also target anti-social behaviour in motor boats.

Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching tires.[1] Those commonly identified as being involved in "hooning" or street racing are young and predominantly male, although increasingly female, drivers in the age range of 17 and 35 years.[2]

Hoon control laws are beginning to be extended to dangerous and annoying hoon behaviour using boats and other vessels, particularly jet skis. The State of Victoria, Australia passed legislation in late 2009 to control hoon activities using recreational vessels.[3]

uhmmm - question is does it make them change their behaviour ie stop riding the brakes?

If it doesn't then it's totally pointless and of no benefit what so ever - your actions could be considered hazardous to other road users, not just the car in front but to other coming vehicles

So what do you suggest ??????, do i continue to have my eyesight impared by the brake lights ???, is this not hazardous too ???, i always turn my full beam off once they get the message and i only do it when stationary, my gripe is leaving the brakes on when stationary.
Title: Re: The I Saw you, did you see me thread aka Spotted!
Post by: routemaster on April 29, 2012, 09:43:50 PM
I appreciate its or can be really annoying - like  people driving at night with rear fog lights on when there is no need.

If a vehicle comes up behind you and puts their full beam would you know why they had done that?
There could be any number of reasons why somebody would do that, the fact that somebody takes their foot of the brake is probably pure coincidence because most people wouldn't appreciate or understand why it was causing you a problem.


Title: Re: The I Saw you, did you see me thread aka Spotted!
Post by: Winston Smith on April 29, 2012, 10:17:36 PM
Again - I agree, to admonish someone in the way described is a worse 'act' as it is done on purpose.

For a start off they won't know why you - the nasty biker - is blinding them.  They will form the impression that all bikers are dicks, as they will just see a bike with high beam on that clearly wants to blind them for no apparent reason.

When training CBT riders we always tell them to keep a brake light on when stationary (traffic lights etc) to warn others of their presence and in case they are hit they at least have some control.  Do you never hold your brake on when stationary?  On a gradient for example?

OK cars have handbrakes, but if holding temporary is it necessary to set it?

Consider also automatics - a lot more out there than there used to be - held on the footbrake quite often to either stop going if in drive, or to place into drive if in neutral.

Top and bottom of it is that by deliberately putting beam on high - careless inconsiderate driving/riding - won't achieve anything other than making other road users think you are careless and have forgotten to turn off high beam, and potentially give all bikers a bad name.

Multiple spotteds;

M25, Tuesday 26th June, you anti-clockwise near A3 on Bronze GTR @ 07:10.
Me clockwise in car.

M3, Tuesday 26th June, you Northbound @ 07:45 near Farnborough.
Me southbound in the bloody cage on my way to Dorchester.  :sad:

M4 Wednesday 27th June, westbound @ 14:40 by Reading Services.
I was in the car again and you blew past me like I was parked, you on a Blue(?) 61 plate, no panniers.
Whoever you are enjoy the speed as I don't think you will have your licence and/or life for much longer if you continue to tailgate like that. Just goes to show that  :censored:  :asshole: buy GTR's too,..... or maybe it was stolen.
Either way, do me a favour and stay the  :censored: away from me. You are an accident looking for a place.

Right, here we go.

All on Sunday 7th,

1210hrs on the A35, you were heading west through Chideock...

1225hrs another one, heading from Bridport towards West Bay..

1710hrs, parked up by the harbour in West Bay.... You were in deep conversation with someone, so i didn't interrupt to say hi, but if you're on this forum, hi!!

1730hrs  on the A35 heading east, towards Bridport.

Each time only a fleeting glance, i was in my car, and as you can imagine, i was sick as a pig by now....

Couple of weeks back in Matlock... GTR pulled up... so I said  'Morning- are you on the GTR forum?'

He looked me up and down all suspicious... like.....and said  'Whats that then?'

I said  'The GTR internet forum'

There was a bit more looking up and down and he said  'I don't have the internet'

So that was the conversation killer, and off he went taking his flat cap and goggles with him   :rolleyes:

Hi LW,

That was me, spent the weekend at Oulton Park for the BSB meeting. Today travelled from Rhyl
( West coast) to Whitby (East coast), did the Cat and Fiddle( pissed down again, that's 2 out of 2 now) a great bit of road now ruined by legislation. Did Helmsley to Whitby across the moors, that was quite nice when dry. I was going to stay in Whitby or Scarborough but did not twig it is peak holiday season, no decent hotels available, just shabby b+b's so headed for home, even the Premier Inn was full. I was going to hammer home but the cold and the distance did for me. So Travelodge and scenic route home tomorrow if dry

No less than three GTR's spotted whilst on my travels today in and around East Yorkshire.
First one was at Seaways in Fridaythorpe, I did find the owner and he is registered on here but hasn't posted since 2011, shame on you Gino1966 :wink:

(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b497/Jaffa_Cake505/Seaways%2024th%20August%2013/DSCN1426Copy_zps0cc36ec6.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Jaffa_Cake505/media/Seaways%2024th%20August%2013/DSCN1426Copy_zps0cc36ec6.jpg.html)

The second one was also at Seaways as I was leaving, I'm not sure who the owner is, possibly someone on here?

(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b497/Jaffa_Cake505/Seaways%2024th%20August%2013/DSCN1432Copy2_zps40d4d8bc.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Jaffa_Cake505/media/Seaways%2024th%20August%2013/DSCN1432Copy2_zps40d4d8bc.jpg.html)

The third one was a black one at 3pm coming up Garrowby Hill from Stamford Bridge direction.
Apart from the 1st, any takers.

My son and I were there Sat/Sun on my brown one, but only saw one other GTR - in silver.

I had to chuckle inwardly on Sunday particularly, looking at the enormous queue for the helmet park, as 3 minutes effort saw both sets of our kit safely stashed in panniers and topbox. I still wonder to myself about people still having sportsbikes as their only roadbike - the GTR really does do the fun part almost as effectively as the sports stuff, plus it then handles the act of actually being transport superbly.

I thought it might be you but didn't have a chance to see the decorations on the bike.
At a closing speed of 140+Mph I'm surprised I saw as much as I did.
This is the beast. Has a Rifle system base plus a 24" screen so the screen is nearly 29" tall.
Only 12" taller than stock.  :mfr_lol:

I guess that was me then. I was in banzai mode and I can no longer be bothered to queue for the toll booths. They should have a motorcycle lane. Didn't see you but was focussed on the hordes of lane changing morons.

After some research, I know have a good idea who this was, there's not that many GTRs about so it has been a process of elimination and by asking a few questions of a few biking friends I can narrow it down to one person.

So, fella if you do read this forum, you do actually know me, and I can now identify you, in fact we have met once, additionally we have a mutual acquaintance.

I don't suppose anyone from here was heading up from Italy to Switzerland via the San Gottardo Tunnel last Sunday 11th May where they?  It had just been reopened (after a motorcycle accident :/ ) and a lovely browny GTR shot out of the tunnel heading North.  I was stuck in my car in a giant traffic jam trying to get to Italy on the other side...

It was probably a foreign one, but maybe someone from here taking advantage of the sunshine to do a quick EURO trip :)

I don't see very many GTRs around here... 

Those GS things, though, I think everyone has one.

Dark coloured GTR seen passing through Holt today with a group of other riders on a selection of tractors and a couple of K1600s, plus a few others.

Was sitting demolishing some coffee sponge and a LARGE Latte in the sunshine at The Cafe, Chapel Yard, Holt. (Nice 170 mile round trip).

Saw a dark blue GTR1400 in Peterborough last Thursday; saw him, twice didn't acknowledge me the first time... second time I gave him the stink eye with the wave whilst at the petrol station when he also pulled in at which point I realised he was a a copper on an unmarked bike. He was pulling into a covered position ready to pounce. I think he was on an operation because he was stalking with another unmarked car and regular marked car in the locale.

Yesterday (Bank Holiday Monday) I was heading for the ferry across Poole Harbour. On the Swanage side (well, Studland to be precise) on the long road that ends at the ferry crossing (Ferry Road, amazingly) I spotted a '65 plate GTR in grey with some weird homemade single-wheel leaning-trailer contraption!

Part of me thinks "kudos for the building that" and the rest of me thinks "are you completely insane? How safe is that at speed? If you want a bike with a trailer buy a Gold Wing..."

Why would you think a GTR is somehow less capable of towing a trailer than a Goldwing?

I'm sure it's just as capable (if not more so) of towing a trailer as a Goldwing, if we're talking about a standard trailer with 2 wheels touching the tarmac. The trailer I saw was a bit "Mad Max", that was all.

So what is it about a single wheel that bothers you so?

Physics. I first spotted this combo with the bike parked on its side stand. The trailer was leaning at a steeper angle than the bike. It then passed me later, and the term "unsafe" would be an understatement. Like I said, if the owner wanted to go a bit Mad Max in his shed with some angle iron, a moped wheel and a welder, then good for him. Maybe a 56 litre top box would be slightly more sensible.

Did anyone attend the Squires Easter egg run today ending at NY500 on the outskirts of Pickering. I saw three GTR's there, one was an 07 plate with 80k miles on the clock. It seems they go on and on.   :yes:
