This is what bothers me about Statistics, some bean counting imbecile is going to list me with this half-witted Hero simply because we both ride motorcycles.

I see them every day, makes me cringe. Example, last week saw bloke on R1 Yam, shorts only. Yeah, shorts only, no top or even thongs. In a 60 zone, racing cars from lights. Full revs, that is very supersonic fast on one of those. No idea of why, makes me feel sick for motorcyclists, i just want to thrash him.

An old friend of mine likes to say that there are old bikers and bold bikers, but there aren't many old, bold bikers.
Their day will undoubtedly come, probably at the expense of an innocent motorist/pedestrian - as they are bound to run out of talent eventually

A couple of years ago if you had asked me what type of bike does a complete nutter ride I would have said an R1, it just seemed to me that every time I saw someone on a big bike being a twat it was always an R1, seems to attract them, a bit like Audi drivers  :whistling:

MJGT, very strange but i agree. R1 has been the choice of many go fasters ive met. Very strange.

Well was a plonker day on the commute in today.

Some fella with no safety gear (bar helmet) riding generic sports bike of around 600cc.
On the back his girlfriend (presumably) wearing a tight dress (yeah), high heels, helmet; and on her mobile phone texting or some such. ::)

Another motorcyclist on a Bandit raced through a red light a good two seconds after it changed. He lay into the throttle as soon as it went red, but was a bit far back...

Then some idiot on one of those council hire bicycles ride straight out onto a crossing in front of me, while the light for traffic was green, and I had to grab the anchors to avoid hitting him. Then he realised and turned back onto the footpath and was riding between pedestrians on a busy footpath.  Retard.

So it wasn't the cars this morning, for a change.
