Ageing biker come-back

[Katman]

Motorcycling is dangerous .. apparently .....

Not as dangerous as motorcyclists are.

[FJRider]

no it's not.

Motorcyclists are.

bullshit !!!!!!

[wbks]

What the fuck is this ongoing obsession some people have with the way other people ride??

Followed inevitably by patronising, "we know best" suggestions carefully couched as "helpful ideas" and garnished with platitudes about rider safety and educating the born agains blah blah fucking blah.

The level of sanctimony being thrown about on this site sometimes is ungoddamnedbelievable.

Get the FUCK OVER yourselves

As a side note one fine day someone is going to address me as a "born again biker", or derivative thereof and the poor bastard will be wondering what inspired the sudden outburst of ultra violence before he gets the next syllable out

Tough cunt... I guess people feel they have the right to judge because it effects the reputation of "us all" and it takes more money out of your wallet regardless of whether you have ever crashed or not

[The Stranger:Me]

Fuck you talk some shit.

That's up there with this gem.

You won't get "facts" off the Internet. Thats not the way the Internet works. You have make your own mind up.

I like the 'motorcyclists are' act.
Invariably - I'm not.

I hear that

Just by the by..........the mods for my ride have started to arrive from the states and ze transformation is imminent.

I will inevitably accrue several million more BAB points by the end.

Well sonny, I Guess those who feel fit to judge me, or anyone else, do so for whatever reason they think they can hang their pathetic little prejudices on.

That makes them neither right nor wise and does nothing to improve anything for anyone.

[Katman]

Now there's a difficult question for one whose father was an ant and mother was a weasel.

I'll ask you to repeat that next time we're face to face.

I guess they do.

Fuck you talk some shit.

What he said, times, I dunno, ten zillion or more.......

[peasea]

Crashes aren't generally the bike's fault.

It's often the motherboard.

What the fuck? Some sensible comments? Here on kb? Nah.

Cheers dude.

(I 'got the fuck' over myself once, it went everywhere....dammit.)

To class them into which brands are more dangerous is silly.

Why is it silly? What if one brand, model, type has an inherrent fault that doesn't show up under normal circumstances.
Look at the Ford Explorer fiasco. Ford wasn't reporting it voluntarily, had it not been for statistical analysis how would people have known they fall over so often? and they would never have been recalled, despite many deaths.

Exactly!

Ban sports bikes for a start and watch the stats show a reduction in high-speed deaths/injury accidents.

If you ask me (which sports bike riders won't, coz they all consider themselves to be Rossi-gods) sports bike riders need rooting (in the main) for their 'gung-ho' activities/attitudes.

Just because someone doesn't ride a sports bike doesn't mean they can't ride and ride safely.
