About Me

I'm a 34 yr old Gold Coast guy, ride a Honda CBR1000 'Blade. I've been riding for about 6 years and like to get out in the twisty bits on the weekends with some mates. Favourite rides are out through Numinbah Valley and over Mt Mee. Keen to meet up with some other riders who don't want to go nuts and crash around me :)

      When Lane Spilitting Goes Wrong

      This is a story from Brazil.  The reaction from the driver is totally unjustified, however I would suggest the rider should not have kicked the car in the first place.
