I find the behaviour of other motorists interesting. On my last run out and back on my dragstrip (amost 10 km, dead straight once out of town, dead north with some steep and long rollers on it) I zeroed my speedo pushed reasonably hard to average 29.5 km/h. So this evening wanted to see if I could beat 30km. Way out averages uphill by 100 meters or so, so averaged about 25 at the turn around. Coming back going hard it was going to be a close thing. Now, just to set things up, once I get into town, there is a 90 degree left onto another road then a 90 right straight away onto the road I live on. Anyway years ago I bought an enduro bike took it for a ride out this road then came back and hit that first left slow and lost the front and crashed it. There's something about that corner that just spells bad grip. Anyway, back to the story. Average is creeping up to 30 but it's going to be a close run thing. So I had to attack this skatey corner to make sure I made the 30. So pick a good line and crank into it, and what do you know front decides it wants to try and have a wash. Which wouldn;t have been quite so bad if there wasn't a 4wd coming the other way in the other lane. So I'm sawing away trying to keep from going over while trying to turn inside the line of this 4wd. I thought no worry, plenty of road for him to move over to give me room. But what do you know, he doesn't deviate a millimeter. I could have went right underneath him and he wouldn't have done a thing about it. Thankfully I gathered it up and got inside him by about a meter, but still I was stunned. I can only assume he didn't see me. But WTF was he looking at? Maybe it's just me since I started riding motorbikes on the road before I started driving. But I check up each intersection I drive past, since on bike, you've got to do that to stay alive. So it's become a habit. But I take it this isn't a habit most people have. Which is crazy. The roads are a lottery, that's for sure. [Edit] Yes I know it would have been my fault if I had of ended up paste. And I ended up averaging 30.1

BTW, had a great day today otherwise. Lent a mates Ducati MS4R and took a lovely lady on a great ride. Only got pissed down on once to boot. So yeah, had a good day.
