    I just heard an oarsome bike thunder past my work. It sounded cool.

    That is all.

    Keep in mind folks theres a shit load more of them than there is of us.
    Why do they hate us -mostly they don't --they just actually don't give a shit,
    Those that do--some just hate the world-period!!!
    Some have had freinds killed or badly hurt on bikes.
    Some have had fuckwit riders carving em up
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Oh and who is giving bikers bad names? Our parents are, there are quite a few Nigels, Franks and Richards out there riding bikes.

    I work with a guy who genuinely hates bikes and loves pointing it out to me. I think his reason is because we're (generally) law breakers who, in his eyes, put everyone else on the road at risk.

    In all truth, good sir, I could not imagine a more opposite pair of riders to idb's caricature.

    I'm just jealous of your flip-up helmets.

    This old bastard I work with hates bikers because the always pass him when hes doing 20k's over the Rimutakas towing a caravan ,and not pulling over because, " I pay to use the roads, so I don't have to".
    Its people like him that are giving all the old people a bad name.
    If you saw a someone wrapping up another colleges tool box in wrapping plastic, would you laugh, or give a disappointed look to the wrapee?
    While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

    Well if it was the companies property then I would have to give them a warning for destroying company property....

    I wouldn't put that past my boss. But the plastic was being thrown out anyway. Also I wasn't destroying the companys property, the owner of said toolbox would be.
