Who is giving bikers a bad name?

**CBR97** · 13th February 2008, 23:54

I have read that someone is giving bike riders a bad name, :who is IT"

I have asked alot of people, "Why do you think us bike rider,s are bad"
everyone of them didnt know what the fuck i was going on about,

"but" i said,
I have read on a web site that we"Bikre rider,s " keep getting a bad name, because of others,"bike Rider,s" doing bad things.

but still they have no idea waht im talking about,

there was only 1 person who knew what i was talking about, my Nana, she told me in the old days, there used to be bad bike rider,s. she saw them at the movies, they wanted to root all the girls, and beat the men up, and do wheelies,

Im still not sure , but can you tell me who you have talked too, and why they think us bike riders are bad,

as i cant find any fucker who gives a fuck

im at work and looking for a fight

Excellent post. Everyone I speak to (non-motorcylists) never has a bad word to say about bikes (at least not to my face), rather they express a desire to ride one or re-tell a story about a bike they saw doing a wheelie or whatever. There are of course those that hate motorcyclists, and no amount of flouro-vest wearing or kids-toys rides will change their perception. For the most part however the majority are either fascinated or plain not interested in motoryclists.

I think the majority of people who dislike bikes are people who have lost friends/loved ones in motorcycle accidents etc, A lot of people dislike them because we are able to filter thru traffic and lane split, Most older guy's dislike them because they are pissed off they never learned to ride and have had a lifetime stuck in the car with mum and the kids

You know that commas and apostrophes are different?

Yup - or that they used to ride and wish they still did. In that case they are envious of the rider rather than against bikes in general.
I work for a rather conservative Golf Glub. My apprentice rides a ZX6R as well as my well known indulgence and I've seen & heard nothing but admiration for our machines when they're parked up at the shed.
Some of the early morning starters are convinced we're temporary Kiwis, of course but that's because the bikes look fast when they're on their sidestands

It's me!

I love doing all of the things you have listed. Sorry guys, I'll pull my head in now. Words on my computer screen have made me see the error of my ways and I shall undertake a full attitude readjustment because of it.

Sorry

Kinda ripped into my eyes too.

Maybe bad grammar and punctuation was part of being a bad image biker??
