Perhaps what the 'old guard' need to stop and consider is the fact that, over the last 30 odd years that many of us have been riding, bikes have doubled in horsepower output and the speeds that they can attain, volume of traffic has doubled and yet inexperienced individual's skill levels and teenagers maturity have remained the same (and possibly even declined in the case of the latter).

But I am sure with the right drugs that can be fixed!

Anyhow, take your "I am here to save the world as I am the only one who cares" attitude to the right thread. This one had nothing to do with hp or riding skills.

And remember, people resort to abuse immediatly after losing an arguement.

DB you couldn't win a argument with a 6yo - you cop abuse because you type stupid shit. often.

Still at least you have stopped threatening to call in the Media and "take it international" each time someone calls you a name.

The easy way to resolve this is to pm me the badge number. The hard way is to involve the media. I WILL report this, and I will do it the easy or the hard way, or the really hard way. His call.

Badge number please ?

DB

yup. Final request - badge number please, and the "name calling by police officer" leaves the Internet right now, or else it goes international. Your call.

nup you don't do you - spoken like a true officer o' the law. NEVER has any police officer actually done anything to assist me when I was victimised, yet they trip me on any administrative triviality at every opportunity, while simultaneously accusing me of wronging half of collective society.

You are beaten this time, how does it feel ?

And further to Motu's post, motorcycles have been a huge part of most of my life also and yes I've met some pretty weird types but I have never felt any connection to an axe murderer just because they ride a motorbike. I wouldn't feel any connection to a motorcyclist who just likes to smack his wife around a bit for some Saturday night fun. Hell, I wouldn't even feel any connection to an habitual thief just because they ride a motorbike - I am not on their wave length.

The truth is Motu, motorcycling has never been 'your' world, or 'Conquistadors' world, or 'my' world. It is a world that is open to anyone who chooses to become a part of it.

Yes, motorcycling is becoming more mainstream - I'm loving that fact.

Nup. There were twice as many bikes registered in 1982 than in 2007.

[Ixion]

I guess like me you have grown up around bikes,they have been a part of your life a long time....and met some pretty weird types.But even if they were an axe (or machine gun) murderer there was still a connection...you were on the same wave length.But now we find there are people out there riding bikes who have no life at all.....they may be an iPod killer,but there is no connection to them.I wonder WTF they are doing riding motorcycles,coming into my world,playing my games....and then wanting to change the rules.Fuck off nerds - the rules were set a long time ago.In the back room there is still a game laid out for the old guard.

What he said. And I recall Mr Paul in NZ said something similar a while back.

I remember back when bikes were a LOT more common than they are now. And, or course, there were all sorts of people rode them. Hard core bad guys, students, cafe racers,old geezers riding to work, the whole gamut. But a pretty common thread was they all shared a common feeling about bikes. Good or bad. You could always have a yarn with a fellow motorcyclist, even if it was only to mutally complain about the weather and cops.

But now a new element seems to be becoming more and more prevalent - the "motorcycle as fashion accessory" . And they don't actually seem to have any feeling for bikes at all. It could just as well be a jet ski, or an Ipod or some other "gotta have" fashion accessory . And they bring with them an attitude that is completely foreign to old school bikers. A superciliousness I suppose it might be called. And as Mr Motu says, they want to change the rules. They regard a motorcycle as being a sort of two wheeled toy car. I don't like that.

They won't last of course, a few years and they'll have gotten bored with the toy and wandered of to play with something else. But they can do a lot of damage while they're around.

FWIW, I *don't* see it as a young fellow thing. The young ones are OK (OK, some of them are a bit cocky and disrespectful - gee , we were never like that at their age, eh?); but it's the older smarmy ones who get up my nose.

Don't sweat it. Received reds from 3 people, 2 were just single red grumpy pricks. The other was a serial red repper who wouldn't explain what was wrong when asked... That arse biscuit knows who he is ....

It takes intellect to explain why, something clearly lacking at times....... as most likely in your case too I suppose......

Red is good, red is a win.
I work hard for my reds.

With few exceptions, people think twice before handing out red. Will the person over react, will they hurl abuse, will they retalliate, will the cry to a mod (I hope so).
Red means you got under someone's skin and pissed them off.
How cool is that, you managed to fuck with someone elses mind from behind your keyboard, you may not even know them, but hey you upset them.

Have you any idea how long it took me to get red from Katman? But I finally got it.

Most of my reds are simply to fuck people off or fuck with them, e.g. when you know it grinds their gears that they can't see who gave them red, just give them another to grind them harder. If they get a new bike and are on top of the world, that's right give them red and tell them it's a fags bike just to take the gloss off a tad, all the better if they can't see who did it, cause that just grinds even more.

I don't care what they say about you Katman, you do make a lot of sense at times.

Inability to adapt is a sign of old age.
Pleased to see you are still young.

The old motorcyclist in me wants to agree here but what i dont get is "change the rules" what rules?To me anyway apart from some road rules that need to be adhered to on main highways in the best interests of my bank acc motorcycling is one or the only pursuit left that theres is no rules,ive been riding 30 something years and not much has changed,back then there was people buying bikes as fashion statements just the same as these days,there was guys with attitudes for sure,as you say,it was us.

Go for a bloody ride will ya. There's more to life than KB.
Or is there..........................................

Trying to be as un PC as possible, since ages ago.

[Pedrostt500]

I dont take to much that is said in here to seriously, when I find I am, then it is time to log off for the night, Ive been on and around motorcycles for about 36 yrs, some times I will put forward my Advise and Opinions, if you choose to take on what I say that is for you to choose, when you tell me your Advise and Opinions it is my choice to follow it or not.
Nobody can upset me other than myself, if I choose to let you upset me.
