So, I got a motorbike after not having one for like 5 years (last one got stolen) 2 weeks ago. I had forgotten how much I love riding, should have got another one with the insurance money instead of a bicycle. ><
Anyway. I was riding to the gym last week around 9pm and I was reminded about something that drove me absolutely nuts when I lived down in Wellington; traffic lights that don't change to green. It happened all the god damn time in Wellington and now non-main ones do it here in Hamilton too. I've got the one that turns into the gym sorted, if I sit a little bit back and to the left of the lane it works fine. But all the other ones that don't work... sitting there for like 10minutes in the rain until a car finally pulls up. At least Wellington CBD was somewhat busy at night, Hamilton roads after 9 are dead.
How do you guys deal with this? is there some obvious trick or something I'm missing here? Do I just tape a bunch of broom handles together to poke the pedestrian crossing button?
Oh, and also, as a side note, why is it so hard to find fairings for a cafe racer? Do I need to get it custom built?

Traffic lights.
