Isn't it funny how you develop a sixth sense about dumb drivers when you ride? Like you know they're gonna stuff up even before they do. It's happened a few times to me. Once I was going around a roundabout and I saw a car waiting and I thought to myself "that car is gonna pull out in front of me" and sure enough, it did, so I was ready. With taxi drivers though it's always a safe assumption that they're gonna do something stupid.

Also, I wanted to hear more of your bike when you entered the undercover carpark.

lol, that's awesome Coin! Tops to you for the reflexes and excellent commutative behaviors, in all aspects!

It was just one of those things you know. I'm not here for taxi bashing, I think the majority are decent enough drivers. The minority ruin it though (same for P platers).

I was just stumped that he looked left (at me), looked right and then while continuing to look right he pulled out. Surely my HID would have caught his attention!

No such craziness this morning. I did follow a Ferrari 599 GTB for a little while. Close enough to see the butterflies in the exhaust!

The kind of person that usually says, "I never saw him" during a new interview of a motorcyclist getting hit, and in this case the finger was necessary. But opening the door with your wrist was cool. You also live in a beautiful city.

I intentionally left that in to show off haha. I just have my swipe card under my jacket. Saves me having to fiddle with pockets and what not.

Makes me feel like James Bond a little bit.

Red with plate "599 GTB"

There was a black one that lived out Pullenvale way, I raced a couple of times

Couple of good runs up hospital hill

Yeah because the badges that say 599 GTB all over the car aren't enough so he has to have it on his plate too. Wanker.

Sweet video! Not-so-sweet taxi driver. What kind of camera are you using? I apologize if this has already been mentioned/answered in another thread.

I hope you're joking. That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen you write, and you write a lot of dumb stuff. Feel free to read through the Australian road rules for clarification before you open your mouth again.

GoPro HD mounted to the chin bit of my helmet. Awesome camera, I have two!
