On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
And there we have it. An inconsiderate twat with no concern for others welfare. As said before it isn't a race but people don't wish to go home injured, although we are all aware it is a risk.
I'd said before that I realised these rides weren't entirely put on for my benefit, but clearly you think as long as you & your kids are ok then everyone else can get fuckd. & on top of that imply violence if you get 'pissed off'. So were you the bully at school?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
And guys I did say this wasn't a quad bashing thread. There has also been a lot of Gay bashing on this thread which is not appreciated in this day & age
& hardly fair as its picking on the same people twice.

I think the guys that for whatever reason want to ride quads have limited chances to ride, same as us.
I dont mind quads and to be honest Ive been skittled or scared shitless more times by ASSHOLES on 2 wheelers that think the "charity ride" is the final round of the world series and they_have_to_get_to_the_front_no_matter_what...... ......
Passing in really DUMB ASS places because they are wayyyyyy cooler than I am ...
Usually quad guys that know you are behind them pull over and let you pass, just the same as most "normal" riders do ...
nb: yeah yeah, its not very ofter I catch up to anyone
As far as Im concerned as long as they dont make a complete twat of themselves Im pretty laid back about them being on the rides...
oh ps I was passed in "total whiteouts" at dessert storm more times by people with Xray vison on two wheelers than Quads ...
But I must admit when the quads went by it was (park here and wait 5 minutes time) which is why we rode ahead off all the ones we knew were around.
At DS i found it was some pple on 2 wheelers who were the worst with passing. Even had one guy literally bash past me while i was trying to get up & over a wee log on a narrow corner. Luckily there was a tree on my right which i could lean on after being knocked rather than falling over.
The dust from the quads was bad but no worse than when a group of 2 wheelers past me - just have to put up with that as its due to my lack of speed
on my new 300 I am going to re-connect the mini tail/brake light for dusty rides. I get scared in clouds that people are faith riding & I'm not keen on getting rear ended, or double dipped or any other un-natural interface.
