Normally people complain about hoons on bikes, but recently i've seen a couple of cases of the opposite on bikes which is a bit of a worry
1. a learner on a CB250 riding at 70kph just short of mansfield, heading towards the snow, at 6:30 in the morning. It was quite foggy and dark but in a car you could comfortably sit at the speed limit and have enough vision. i first saw a tail light and the guy was going so slow i thought it was a push bike rider. that time of day a lot of people are drving at 120 on those roads.
2. a guy on what looked like a virago doing 70 on the ring road in peak hour traffic. what was more worrying was that one second he was almost riding on the dashed lines between lanes, the next second he was at the extreme left of his lane. wind was less than 5kph.
testing for licenses in vic is a joke really. i'm not worried for my safety on the road as i have many years of dirtbike riding experience, as well as 6 years in cars, but you have to wonder about some people.
