Mr Razor is a reasonably sensible rider, at least as far as motorbicyclists go.

You can grease him up all you like Lou,but I doubt he'd ever set foot in a Harley shop....but a born salesman will always give it a try eh?

Those assumptions again there Motu, so far you're batting 100% wrong.

**Motu** · 16th January 2006, 12:45

You,you....you're not saying I make assumtions,am prejudice,and add ''labels'' to riders based on the bikes they ride,their age and the clothes they wear,are you??

I leave that to the other members of this site,I am only here to point out the blind spots in their thinking.

No,but he was riding a GSXR600 K4,possibly the best bike ever made y'know...and a set of race leathers colour coded to match the bike - no way was any bloody Harley gunna get the jump on him!

Sounds like you've got your own baggage to me.

The guy came on, had a rant about dangerous riding and you read so far between the lines you basically hijacked the post. He called it like he saw it - he was there... were you?

We have bred a nation of cry babies - ''He,he...he laughed at my bike! And now he's laughing at me too! So I'm gunna sue him for emotional trauma...and buy a new bike with the money,the world owes it to me''

Yeah, if I knew then what I know now, I would've become a councillor. Best rort I've heard of, Govt pays you to hold the hands of all these bleeding hearts traumatised because they just saw a sparrow run over.
It's too late now, I'm too cynical to keep a straight face.

**JohnR** · 16th January 2006, 15:28

Ah yes but if you are the speeding, drunk driver who ran the sparrow over you will be prosecuted, convicted and fined under the "Land rights for gay whales ammendment act". And if it doesn't fit we'll change it in an all night session, for which we all get double time, a day off in lieu and a free meal!

**Lou Girardin** · 16th January 2006, 15:33

Which just remonded me of the Suzuki Vitara on the m/way, on the spare wheel cover was "Protect the environment" over a graphic of a whales tail.
That's just asking for a rabid whale hugger to firebomb your car.

The age of the average motorcyclist in the UK is dropping steadily in comparison to the average age of the general poulation so this really works.

Motorcycling keeps you young. QED

Total bullshit! Motorcycling keeps me immature! I'm still aging, tho'.

Well lets see the first bike I bought in auckland was from "that" harley shop, wasn't a harley addmittedly but they do sell other brands of bikes there 7 or 8 at the last count, if they sold suzukis new, i would have gone back for a repeat sale.
Lou has given me sound advice and sorted me out with kit numerous times, and when i do get the cash together to buy my "matching 2 piece leathers" (that some other bright spark assumed i had already), I will be talking to lou about some sensible spidi items.
As for the assumption that Lou is only greasing me up, for a sale - I happen to be a close personal friend of his and his wifes, and would suggest he was only coming to my defence here to readdress an imbalance in the reaction my original post recieved.

In hind sight maybe more detail was needed in the original posting to remove some of the ambiguity, that caused everone to jump to assumptions, then again you can't make assumptions without making an ASS first.

I know people are entitled to their own views and have every right to agree and disagree with threads here, but in this instance I don't reckon I have said anthing that contriversal that i deserved all the bad 'rep' for, but thanks to everyone who came to my defence and the green 'rep' the two nearly cancel each other at this stage, so no harm done!

Lastly, MOTU -YOU CAN KISS MY HAIRY WHITE ARSE, YA BOLLIX
Hope you don't have any problem understanding the assumption you have fored me to draw about you.

It wan't that mate, it was you aying that he wa a tool because you were too close to avoid him if he had an off. That would be your fault. If you feel you're too close, BACK OFF!!

I give up - I take your point and understand it completely, but prehaps you should realise that I was put into a situation very quickly that I did manage to get out of, that prehaps a lesser rider may not have. I wasn't riding recklessly for the road conditions, but the unpredictable nature of this guy quickly changed a safe situation into a potential nasty one. Now as I attempted to say earlier, you can be the best rider in the world but all it takes is the random action of another road user like this and most experienced rider can get taken out. I don't know about you but I'm not invincable and I think its testament to me that I didn't have an off. But in that split moment in time that guy not only put himself in danger, but also me, the car driver and the bus he squeezed by as well. So for that reason and that reason ALONE he is a tool and I'm just calling it the way I saw it.

But whatever, I'm tired of this crap
