    So your comment that at least the car driver will be looking out for motorcyclists, even if only to run them down, was serious???????

    I thought I said that.(A fucked off cage pilot is a little different) Perhaps if you wish to continue quoting me ... Can you please do so in the correct context.

    A (any) half decent, poorly trained ... motorcyclist, riding an underpowered, out of date motorcycle, should be able to ... get out of the way of/get away from ... most cages.

    It is advised by most experienced motorcyclists, to inexperienced motorcyclists ... to treat all cages as though they were out to get them.

    In most cases ... its not far from the truth ...

    It can be as serious as YOU think it could/might be ... ignore ANY cage at your peril ...

    Then go back and add the "a" to your post at #89.

    The way you said it implies that you think there is very little difference.

    If you want me to quote you in the correct context, learn to proof read.

    You "think" is wrong? How about all those times when it was a motorcyclist in the wrong yet he/she still had a little temper tantrum and abused the other road users..??

    After all many motorcyclists seem to think their shit never stinks.

    Some think they never make mistakes, but others make them on purpose, its those nutters who my comments are aimed at. Bikers are guilty of this at times too but so is everyone... Retaliation when severely provoked is something that most of us may have done in the past, I certainly didnt let it go in a few instances, but on many many of other occasions, I did.

    Please read my first post for why I wanted to do something about what "I thought" was wrong. You might agree, its all opinion of course.

    Crazy psychopathic mother fucker, im happy i dont ride a bicycle.
    I ride bikes and bicycles. This is by far the most aggressive country in the world to ride -riding in the US is actually safer, and better. I have hosted many elite, world class riders over the years - and all them have been shocked by the level of aggression here.

    We have a societal issue with violence and aggression here.

    I'm heading back up to Holland/Belgium/Germany in a week or so, and I'll be doing a lot of cycling there - the rules are very different, and to be honest, much better than here. There is no aggression or malice intended.

    The answer is much harder to find than curing drink driving - most people think they're good drivers, and losing 10 seconds to a cyclist or motorcycle somehow justifies their behaviour. So, you're not going to reach them.

    To be honest, I've been a staunch supported of living here, but I'm 2 years away from moving overseas permanently. Living in Holland pays better, I can ride my pushie safely, and where I'd like to live, is only a couple of hours from the Nurburgring...

    removing wing mirrors is tougher than it sounds. Mr Hyde is at 3-4, not sure if I can count the 4th one because it didn't come off all the way. That's in a lot of years of riding, and each has a story that even a Nun would seek some form of retribution...
