Some biker whizzed past then pulled up quick and asked "wheres yer bike?" "Er, it stopped." "ok, jump on" he replied. I was stoked!! I got a ride right home from this guy on his cool bike. He didn't do any scary shit - just hummed along. I bet he was pleased he could help.

That's the right way about it - helmet and no monkey business.

You'd have to be feeling pretty bulletproof to take a pillion you don't knoiw and then gun it! If said pillion didn't have a helmet you'd have to be pretty indifferent towards their safety to take them anywhere at all...

I do hope that when your luck runs out it won't run out at a time and place where your mishap/passing is going to inconvenience too many other people.

Yeh, but only when in a chemically altered state of mind

There seems to be a recurring theme to most of the posts here.........who would of thought?

If this aint a piss take, then you must be one helluva moron, one very bloody selfish person and someone with absolutely no common sense or care for others' well being. If that had been my old man on the back, I would have beat the shit out of ya.

It has to be a troll - if it wasn't the pillion would have pushed him off the bike after getting off at the end of the trip.

I sure as hell would have if it had been ME! -(unlikely to happen, I ain't dumb enough to climb on behind a potential 'tard).

Hey Carver, did the guy say anything to you at the end of the lift?

"Thanks for the lift mate."

OR "What the fcuk was that all about."

OR when you looked around, was you surprised to see he wasn't there?

Maybe he came off and got creamed during one of your 150kph wheelies?

It can't have been that bad a ride if he didn't try and deck you.

Recommend what?

The stupidity?
The trolling?
The failure to use capital letters where they should be?

Same bat-channel
Same time.........

Riding is dangerous, even with a helmet and leathers.

Two bikers killed over the weekend:

One of them was a 54 year old.

Probably quite experienced.
