Public perception.

Stay tuned Bonez..help is on the way....

As long as she doesn't come up with "leering at their teenage daughters in the back seat" - 'cos I'm gonna let that one pass.

[slofox]

Given the number of times bikes are nearly run over, I doubt that "the public" perceive bikes at all.......

You might have to help Katman out Mom.

Please do Mom..and while you're at it...lock the blardy door and throw away the key, so he can't get back in.

I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow the door down.

Should we care what people think about the way we conduct ourselves on our motorcycles?

I often read on here "I don't give a fuck what people think of my riding".

How much harm is that doing to Motorcycling and is it likely to impact upon our motorcycling freedom?

You trying to justify your existence again?

No, I'm providing a thread for discussion on a subject that has recently been mentioned in a thread with a different original subject matter.

I happen to think this is an issue that warrants it's own thread.

[Ixion]

That depends. Which people?

By and large I don't care what Mabel or Cecil think of my riding. They have no grounds to form a valid assessment. Nor do I really care what Dwayne thinks about the fact that I'm cheating by jumping the queue and not waiting in line behind him.

I do care in a exculpatory way about what cops think of my riding (ie I don't want them to notice me)

And there are a few , a very few, riders whose good opinion I respect and whose admonition I would pay heed to.

By and large I don't care what Mabel or Cecil think of my riding.

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?

Isn't this a repost?

Why do you need to question his reasons for his existance (and his post)...... to justify yours maybe...???

[Ragingrob]

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.

[Katman]

Isn't this a repost?

Yes, maybe it is.

Thanks for bringing attention to that other one though.

If the power of common person was that powerful all rapists and pediofiles would get life without parole and referendums would not just be the sound of thousands of people talking to themselves.

Do I care what they think?
No more than I care what anyone thinks about anything else I do.

[Trudes]

Yes, maybe it is.

Thanks for bringing attention to that other one though.

Oh hey, you're welcome.
