    Haha, I've seen that guy.

    A few of the 'strange' riders I've seen are either fat women on scooters or pot bellied guys on GN250s.

    I have seen this guy on SJ50 though not recently. Sounds like the route he rides on is very close to where I live...

    I think I know who you're talking about, he used to ride a GN or similar a few years back, and now has a Honda cruiser. Jandels, shorts and a t-shirt everytime.

    Don't you mean he will roll off!

    Now now. As an XXOS SJ50 rider I resemble that remark.

    And as for the guy who laughed at the scooterist in the good riding gear, did you not wonder what his other bike was?

    Now this guy I see quite often - even in winter he has a sleeveless top and jandels on!

    Yeah that's him, everytime I see him which is about every fortnight, I just cringe as I start visualisng him coming off and the road peeling him like a banana. Always seem to see him around Heaton Street, last time I saw him he came out of the fish and chip shop on Normans Road. He took off like a rocket, It's like he has the bike in first and all he does is hit the starter with the clutch in and drop it as he sits on the bike; all at once. I must say he looks like he's enjoying himself.

    This guy should be an easy spot though
    He's still around - or was a year or two ago

    Yeah, he's been around for as long as I can remember. He rides a hell of a lot and you see either him or his bike verywhere.

    I've seen the guy on the bike (gn125?) with the t-shirt, potbelly for africa half lid and jandles sometimes a crate bunjee'd on the back of it too

    Going to work down hereford street about 1yr ago a dwarf used to regularly ride down on a Z50 with those riser bars. Pretty cool really, think it was yellow
