Not sure that Joe Public actually gives that much thought specifically to bikers...there are other road users who compete for that attention - boy racers being the current favourites but ably assisted by many others - like juggernaut-driving truckies with huge trailers on the back, wanking SUV drivers who are happy to prove that their armoured personnel carrier will protect them no matter who or what they run over, grey panthers in their campervans, caravan towers who never pull over to let the ten kilometre line of traffic behind them get through, drunks, etc etc the list goes on.......
I do see the odd total loony on a bike - and no doubt the odd person takes exception to me when I pass a line of cars (totally safely of COURSE!!!!). But the bike loonies don't, for me, outweigh the faults of other road users. It's like anything - you get the good with the bad in every class of driver......I see sensible bike riding as well so I think the balance is still there.....(or that's what I think....I think.....)

I have one of those ''whats my riding like'' signs on the back of the Honda...
Get shit loads of calls.........basically saying...'get a fucken move on''....![]()
I think car drivers and pedestrians and motorcyclists are all idiots, only difference is we are outnumbered. So I do enough to keep myself safe and have fun, and I know that i piss people off sometimes. Some people hate to see others having fun or getting around some of the tribulations of daily life.
This thread has merged like a zip!!!
How often does a wing mirror get taken out without any prompting? Maybe it got taken out cause the previous night a biker got home thinking "Fucken prick of a cager cutting me off. Just wait till I get out there tomorrow". It goes both ways. The people like that are gonna think and act that way whatever they're doing in any situation.
Btw are you Hitler?
