last night at about 8 o clock i was cruising through the green lights along kent street in the city when some absolute F@#k wit decided to run his red light at about 70 k'z i had about a second to react and thank god for the beautiful acceleration of my zx7r, anyway scared the shit out of me as i felt the van push wind against the rear of the bike. so in conclusion be extra careful through those sweet green lights as there always seems to be a dickhead waiting around the corner to F@#K you up. Ride safe cheers jaye

Lucky lucky! Well done on avoiding it.
I can't claim to look at *every* intersection but when I first started going out with my now girlfriend, she said she was amazed and how much my head kept bobbing around all over the place looking at side streets, intersections, nearby cars, etc.

Also, watch the dickheads that forget to stop at lights behind you, and plow right into the back of you....I have seen some nasty crashes this way

I was in the car the other night and exactly same thing happened except i stopped, then boy o boy did the fuckin dumb bitch cop it from me, she just looked at me like a stunned mullet. Main reason being i dont car if car gets damaged, but what is not only myself but ANYONE was on there bike. If she cant see a car, wat hope of a bike.
Anyway your lucky mate ride safe and everyone always look left and right before crossing the street!!
