tdy while riding home from work on PIE going towards Tuas direction..

 

i was on the 4th lane preparing to enter the bend going towards BKE, there was this car following behind a bus on lane 5. driver feels that bus going too slow so on signal waiting to lane change to lane 4. i was 5-6 car lengths away already saw the driver signal, inch out and go back to his own lane because there wasnt enough space in between the cars on lane 4 for driver to lane change.

 

when i was closer to the car, taxi in front of me (1 bike length away) tried to avoid the car that inch out but go back to his lane again. seeing that the car went back to its own lane and nvr inch out again, i accelerated. when my bike was beside the car, driver decides to inch out and took up 1/3 of my lane forcing me to take evasive maneuver. my 1st reaction was to evade followed by pressing the horn but my fingers press the signal button instead. driver saw me siam his car, he faster turn a bit to the left.

 

i was quite angry at that moment and decided to show "the finger" b4 riding off. almost kena sideswipe because the driver die die also wanna lane change and not follow behind the bus

Sad u experience this type of case 1st hand. :( really hope no one has to ve this kind of harrowing experience. Really will heart atk. :/ glad u r fine.

 

And e car also bad habit. Base on ur description he tried twice inch out. Yet 3rd time try still can "dun c u there". :/ should ve been more alert instead after 2 tries. Thankfully at e end he "wake up", or maybe is paisei tats y o back to his own space.

actually he tried abt 2-3 times when i started observing abt 3-4 car lengths away that's why i didnt wanna lane split. during the 2-3 tries, his right tires were on the dotted lines and move back to his own lane. maybe he knew there was a car beside so dun really dare to eat too much into their lane

Haha, speaking of insects and etc hitching rides.. I encountered a baby lizard on my speedometer while riding on the Expressway. Flick it and it landed on my groin area.. :faint:

 

Another one lagi best, just turn out from my home going to the main road. Something hit me and got stuck at my helmet strap, instinctively I take it out and flick it away. Suddenly I have a stingy pain below my chin where the strap is and it is getting more painful. I stop along the road shoulder and examine, I managed to removed a sting.. Wah lao eh.. kana stung by a bee while riding.. :faint:

There was one video going around some months ago on a guy riding his yellow sports bikes up to 280 kph and a small yellow snake came out from his speedometer area onto the riders left wrist. And no. That dude didn't crash. Just slowed down steadily. Lol.

Ride fast..ride safe..don't crash...

tdy while riding home from work, almost rear ended a scooter with pillion (FBB1809T) because rider decides swerve into my path from the lane beside while i was lane splitting. the funny thing is i saw him turning his head to check blindspot, not sure if he saw me coming. had to apply hard braking because of his action

My bro and his frens got involved in an accident, taxi sideswept them to pick up passengers. Driver still can smile and laugh, evil ********. They think a fall off a bike is funny, how about I kick you out of the taxi at even 60km/h, see if its funny.

Crashing would have been worse than snakebite. LOL.

 

I once had a cockroach appear on my helmet visor while riding out of the carpark. I don't actually fear cockroaches, but I do hate them as they stink. So I simply clutched in and used my throttle hand to flick it off my visor.

 

 

When I reached home I wiped the helmet down with wet tissues. Heh.

Remembered riding and there were big red ants on the tank and inside my visor. These ants. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/WeaverAntFighting.JPG/220px-WeaverAntFighting.JPG

All thanks to some rider for putting his finished drink on my bike instead of disposing it off in the bin which attracted these big red ants. Had to flick off these ants while riding. First time always hoping for the red light to come on at every traffic light so as to be able to flick the ants off.

 

Not stung like you but a bird ever flew directly hitting my chest/shoulder area while riding. Tried to dodge it but it went straight there. Imagine something going at opposite direction as you while you are travelling at around 70-80km/h. It hurts but what is pain if you cannot bear with it? Thankfully the bird did not die. :cool:

This is where your windscreen or fairing can save you, I rather have the bird cracking my windshield or fairing than that bird hitting me square in the chest. I'd lose control anyway.

Sadly none of the bikes I ride comes with the huge windscreens. I have accepted that as a rider I will always be exposed to mother nature and the surroundings. Cigarette butts phlegm sand rocks and etc. Ever saw a colleague got hit by a bat right on the helmet when he was riding to work. He stopped at the side for a moment so I stopped too to see if he was alright. He felt dizzy for a bit and was alright after that. :cool: Edited by duo

I had a house lizard crawling around the edges of my front windscreen once.

No matter how hard i hit the windscreen (yes bike was still moving) the lizard remains glue on it.

So I did the opposite way, travel faster so that by some miracle the wind would brush it off.

Guess what? the lizard just remains seated on the edge of the windscreen with it's tail flapping by the strong wind (130-150km/hr)

I give up, reduce to normal speed and watch the lizard cat-walking on the windscreen while observing traffic too.

End of the journey, the lizard just disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared.

Which is y i dun understand how some riders can ride those look helmet half helmets tat does not ve visors. Imagine e small stones hitting face. :/

 

On birds, i had those close shaves with a bird before. Was taking a left turn into a carpark. And just nice a bird, i believe was spding and didnt check right side clear and went across my path at around my chest area. In tat split secon instant, our eyes met and i could c in e bird's eyes, it was thinking "oh s$$$". But i tap rear brake and it went past safety. From then on i noe for sure animals can think. :)

i hate drivers that are shown in the 1st video. they dunno where they wanna go and their fickle-mindedness poses a huge danger to the rest of the motorist

 

i encounter the same thing as shown in the 2nd video, the only difference is that it happened on PIE and there was another car in front of me. the driver signalled, waited for the car in front of me to pass den lane change to my front. i flashed my high beam but to no avail, he treated me as though i was invisible

These are stories where few years down the road we will think and talk about and laugh. We can even tell these stories to our kids and even grand kids if God's willing. :cool:

Encountered 3 idiots when me and my gf were going back home from town

 

WTF was the forester trying to do?! obviously the lane he was in can go straight and turn right wat. for me, i will show him the "wtf u trying to do hand sign"

 

the junction at bukit panjang always got vehicles turning out from filter lane w/o checking or check but dun bother.

 

as for the bus stopping b4 the bus stop, very common. always see many vehicles stopping there either to pick up and drop off passengers or wait for ppl

 

Thats why i dont give way to merc drivers when im driving...

 

for me, i hate red colour honda integra cuz there was a driver who did a illegal u-turn and almost sent me to meet the king of hades. i hate bmw drivers more than merc drivers
