So in a brief discussion with the new warehouse manager here at work, we were talking about our commutes.
He said by the time he hit the freeway it was like a parking lot.
I suggested he get on two wheels for the lane-splitting fun.
He said he "opens his door when he sees people lane splitting.
I said simply, "thats why I have a CCW."
Fucking people.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

That's the same guy that will tell you lane splitting is dangerous. "Yes it is, because of ass heads like you!"

Lane-sharing here in WA state is a potential reckless-driving citation. I've had cigarette-butts, aluminum cans, and beer-bottles tossed at me while doing it (not like I do it all the time, very rarely, in fact).
I've often imagined how it might play out in the case where a 4-wheeler did open a car-door on me... I'd have to slow the bike enough to prevent going over the bars (I don't move that fast when splitting anyway) but still make sure to hit the door hard enough to spring it permanently-open, and then I'd have to make sure and fall off the bike INTO the passenger-compartment, and then I'd have to start flailing around to be able to get myself out of someone else's vehicle. Sooner or later, the police would arrive...
"Honestly officer, I have no idea why he opened the door like that. I tried to avoid it, but once I hit the door I really had no control over where everything landed. I don't think my helmet or gear is damaged, and I'm pretty sure I can ride my bike home. ...and I have no idea how the other driver's nose got smashed and broken like that... maybe he bashed it into my helmet when I fell into his car? I hope he's going to be OK.".
...seriously... this would definitely be lose-lose, but I often wondered why anyone would want to piss off someone wearing full armor and then invite them inside their passenger-compartment.
I'm also pretty sure that the penalty for vehicular-assault is at least as dire as the penalty for reckless-driving.

This happened to my uncle a good many years ago in Melbourne. He was riding along a 2 lane each way strip in the city centre, lane-sharing past the backed-up cars when dickhead driver opens his door.
Uncle: 'Scuse me, your door's in the way.
Dickhead: You shouldn't be doing that! It's dangerous!
Uncle: Ummm... what you've just done is dangerous. Will you close your door?
Dickhead: No!
Uncle: Ok.
...as he slowly releases the clutch, front wheel mating with the door, and gently bends it on its hinges, never to close again. Waddled back and around the waiting cars, accelerating off feeling a tad naughty but knowing he'd done the right thing.
I like my uncles.

I can relate to that guy. You know, when I see people going into the express lines with 13 items instead of 12, I put a fucking gun to their head!!! And when I see people put an aluminum can in the garbage(when a recycle bin is right next to it), I pull out my knife and charge at their throat.
Give me a loaded revolver and I could kill 6 people. Give me a car with a full tank of gas and I could kill hundreds. Cars are a hell of a weapon.
Seriously, it amazes me how stupid people are with automobiles. I generally feel like, as motorcyclists, we just have to get over it with regards to asshole cagers, but there are some times when it really feels like so much more than just being careless. An automobile is a deadly weapon and deadly weapons should not be used to threaten people over minor disagreements (or major ones for that matter).

I saw someone driving on the shoulder the other day, so I followed him home and slaughtered his family. That shit's dangerous.

Yep, it's wreckless driving here. You were lucky. I got to donate to the Commonwealth AND get my license suspended for 6 months.icycle wrote:It's a reckless driving charge as well here in VA. I tried it once and must have past a cop who blipped his siren. I got back into line and didn't get pulled over. I decided it wasn't worth donating to the commonwealth.
At least I avoided jail time. I like to think that's why I paid the laywer, as he was otherwise a total useless fuckwit.
