    My mum gave a biker a bad name. Percival. i'll never forgive her.


    guy at work hates bikers 'cause the filter past him at the lights. He's an otherwise nice enough guy. You can see his blood pressure rise as he tells what happens. i wind him up all the time.

    Some oarsome wanker called me scum in a supermarket carpark last night.

    Maybe we could ask him? His preconceived ideas are obviously sound.

    I'm sure dipshit, our resident self appointed authority on this matter will be along presently to enlighten us.

    years ago I hooked up with a family of ladies - nan, mum, toddlers.. separated I assumed, so I announce to them with glee that I just got my aeroplane license. THUDDD, pin drops, someone coughs... "oh my dad and my hubby were killed in a plane crash". Ewwwwwps!! Very sobering moment. All their lovely boys dead. Nasty.

    I have never seen animosity toward bikers. These days its common for the bikie to be someones' middle-aged mum or dad, or someones' girlfriend.

    There is a new threat on the road now, and that is the boy racers - and even they are not widely seen except in the media, and really just want to go have their own fun, like we do. They are just young and their feelings are felt very strongly and they are provoked easily.

    It's all jealousy. That and the old stereotyped image of motorcycle gangs and criminals riding Harleys.

    True. As well as the other historical theory that motorcycles were for people who couldn't afford cars...and we all know that poor people are scum.
    Actually, I think it boils down to jealousy. Motorcycles represent freedom, and some (many?) people don't have the cojones to grab a bit of that freedom for themselves, so transfer feelings of inadequacy into 'hatred' of bikers.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I think it's more from the smug-looking pricks that sweep en masse into a cafe with their shiny Cordura and flip-up helmets with bike communication microphones fitted, their cellphones to their ears while ordering their lattes, laughing loudly and taking over two seats each.

    Grrrr!!!!

    And that neither should be used in that context.
    Apostrophes should only be used, [1] where a letter or letters are missed out, eg. "It's for it is." [2] denoting ownership, eg. "I binned Dad's bike."
    The exeption to the rule is; Its (without apostrophe) for ownership, eg. "The cat got its tail caught in the mincer."

    REESSPECT!!!!

    Have to say I'm a bit disappointed as I am clearly NOT one of the bikers giving us a bad name - not only can I not do wheelies but I don't want to root all the girls...oh well
