Retards on the Southern this morning...

**newby** · 28th March 2009, 09:16

I was cruising down (in my car) the southern motorway between Drury and Bombay this morning. To the two bikes riding there, one a Yamaha, and i think the other was a Suzuki,

A. You look like you are retarded riding like that together.
B. You are just helping all other motorists justify the "fucken idiot bikes" metality alot of them have, which is not a good thing.

What were they doing?

**newby** · 28th March 2009, 09:35

Just riding side by side, in a lane each, swerving back and forth across the lanes.

Maybe if your on a racetrack and need to warm your tyres or something? But on the southern motorway, with other traffic around, you look like a fuckwit, to put it politely.

Maybe they don't really care what people think of them? Doesn't sound like they were doing anything dangerous.

Dance like noone's watching!

Quite possibly so. That's why they come across as just another couple of retards on bikes.

I bet half the cars are thinking "Damn that looks like fun, wish I had that much freedom!".

I saw a similar thing recently, my first instinct was 'what a dick' then a second later I remembered I used to do that when I was a teen and young and free with no kids, mortgage, boss breathing down my back....sigh....

I can imagine that's a delusion most wankers on bikes have.

Wow, so one can't even muck around in their own lane just swerving a little bit? I think it's called having fun or passing time. I think it'd be more the "wankers" in cars that think negatively of a biker doing that when it's creating no danger or annoyance whatsoever.

Get a life!

The wankers in the stunting forum think other road users are jealous and that they wish they could be just like them when they are out fucking around on the motorway too.

Delusional.

Burn them.

People get angry due to a subconscious jealousy a lot. That's why people used to abuse me on my bicycle when I was working as a bicycle courier. Cause they were jealous of the freedom I had, and they were frustrated as all hell sitting in their cars. So what they weaved a bit. My heart pumps custard for you. As long as you weren't trying to lane share with them they should be fine. Find a bigger fish to fry. There is plenty of them these days.

I'd always wondered why some people gave me weird looks.
Some even hold their palms open on their steering wheels with a 'WHHHHHY?!' expression

Mind you I don't swerve from gutter to centreline, but sometimes I get bored riding in a straight line. 'Swerving' keeps my concentration on the road, somewhat. Also gets tyres up to temp, all the better braking/swerving/doingbackflips from danger ahead, or to my side.

**Usarka** · 28th March 2009, 11:29

Swerving is stupid. Keep your line and releive the boredom by thinking about that hot chick you were talking to last week at the herpes clinic, ot the argument that you had with your boss. That's much safer.
