Isn't this a repost?

I reckon FFS use the search function already...oh that's right it's your thread and your tired old message. Got on the beers yet Katman? Is it time to tell everyone to suck your cock yet?

BTW to be on topic...I care what cagers think about my riding about as much as they care what I think about their driving I would suspect. I have seen far more muppets driving cars than I ever have riding bikes...we don't all think we are invincible - unlike many drivers seem to.

Get back to me in an hour or two.

So if Mabel tells Maureen and Cecil tells Cedric, and Maureen tells Mary and Cedric tells Colin, and Mary tells Mavis and Colin tells Conrad...........

Where does it stop?

Are we happy to end up with the general public against us and supporting any move by the government to limit our existance?

If we are to govern ourselves by what is endorsed by Mabel and Cecil then there is no point riding bikes at all. Anything more than 50kph in a Toyota Corolla is outside the bounds of their understanding and therefore condemned and deprecated.

I don't mind if the tell Cedric, he has fond memories of his BSA when he was young and would secretly love to get a bike again , if he could but talk Enid into letting him. And Mavis still gets wet when she recalls riding pillion on the back of the Thunderbird of the boyfriend her father forbade her to see on the grounds of unsuitability.


The general public are more accepting of bikes than you imagine. It is just that the unaccepting ones are vociferous and noisy.

Sorry, your memory's slipping Ixion.

Cedric and Enid's son was killed overcooking a corner and slamming headlong into a "fucking cager".

I wonder if the people who "Don't give a fuck what people think of their riding", think that cagers should give a fuck when it comes to their driving.

Good point

I certainly believe that if you're a self-centred dick, only bad can come of it.

...soooo yeah, I guess I do care. About what other people think about other...people's...riding?

[No FX]

People are always talking about "ruining the public image of motorcycling", but I cant remember the last time I heard a member of the non-riding public talk about their opinions on bike riders. I also cant recall a govt. law thats been introduced to specifically target bikers, bare in mind im a youngin' so all the oldies can bust out the back in my day stories.

Hasn't the image of bikers since the 30's or 40's been one of someone who doesnt care what others think and isnt afraid to break the odd law for a bit of fun? So aren't these people really upholding a proud motorcycling tradition and the whingers and moaners are the ones actually ruining the image of bikers....

And there, in a nut shell, is the biggest wank factor of Motorcycling.

Cedric is obviously gutted to the core he lost his son that way, but hey, he went doing what he loved doing, just a shame it happened really. Enid on the other hand is devastated, her beautiful boy gone! Mind you at least he was not drinking and riding, now that really would have been too much. Boys will be boys after all, and gee those bikes were the shizz back when I was a girl.

The general public are more accepting of bikes than you imagine. It is just that the unaccepting ones are vociferous and noisy.

I agree!

Hey, I've figured out that your life revolves around the 'let's wind up Katman' game.

I'm not playing tonight.

...we don't all think we are invincible - unlike many drivers seem to.

The ones driving cages (4wd's and the like) know they are not... so they strap on the armour, and that feeling subsides...for a while...

How will you react when you finally realise that we are ruining your riding image and your riding freedom will soon be strictly curtailed because we "don't give a fuck".
