Why is it that newbie bikers...

[wbks]

Feel the need to complain about everything they feel doesn't comply with what they perceive as, and what other more experienced bikers have told them is, appropriate behavior? I'm a n00b myself, but people whining about someone getting too close, someone speeding/not going fast enough and "giving us all a bad name" or someone who doesn't wear all the gear, seems pretty common on here, and the weird thing is that most of it is from people still on their L plate. So what is it that makes people feel the need to do that? Do some people here feel the need to speak out for certain things so that they fit in more?

And why do we have wars? I guess we just can't all agree. :-)

Some people just the like the sound of their own voice or in some cases, what they type. There will always be a greater and lesser person than yourself. Avoid loud and aggresive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

And don't forget, you can use the "rep" button to indicate those people/replies that you think are more valuable.

Crying? Lol, since when was a question a cry? Did I show any negative emotion or say how pissed off I am about it? That would be crying. I'm just curious as to why people do what I said

Dude, we all have different ideas of what a biker is, thats obvious based on the fact that we all ride different bikes, at different speeds etc etc, and like you say, they are often noobs, so they are still learning. I tell people I am a biker, and they step backwards, get to know me, and they find out I am a good bastard, we all have preconceived ideas, and they change based on the experiences we have. Think of those posts as an opportunity to weed out the people who are like you, and those who arent, weed out the people you want to assosciate with. Thats what I do. I have made some fuckin great friends by doing that so far!!
Good luck, may see you on the roads sometime

Think of new bikers as temporary born again christians and it all makes sense.
