    But then again, if Mabel and Cedric have the ear of an influential person in government I might start to sweat.

    Struggle is my middle name sweets, and you dont get off the hook that easy either. You use a post of Wolfs to draw attention to the hypocrisy that you perceive, show me where Wolf has been a hypocrite. You cant just take a random post and say...well there that is proof, if the poster is not in fact being a hypocite.

    So again, show me how this post shows hypocrisy by Wolf.

    I guess there in lies the flaw of Mr Katmans well rounded discussion. Now I am sure I will be corrected but my understanding is that his idea is that "motorcyclists" in general are the problem regardless of brand or size.

    I doubt Titch would give a second look at a scrooter.

    As is mine.

    Dont be too harsh on Katman, when I met him he actually apologised to me for telling me to suck his cock

    Are you serious? Titch will run any fucker off the road who touches his wing mirror.

    Objectively here:
    Most cagers do NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MOTORCYCLISTS!!!
    If they did, they would wait at giveway signs, stop signs, driveways, T intersections, keep to their side of the road and generally act like we actually exist.

    Motorcylists are to motorists what an ant eater is to an ant. Chew you up and spit you out without a thought or shit you out 24 hours later..

    Only cagers who ride motorcycles actually realise we exist when out riding and the rest don't give a dam. They know full well that if they choose, a simple flick of the steering wheel will end your life and they have nothing to worry about if contact should occur.

    Some do not care at all and if they could run you off the road and get away with it they would and some do.

    There are many motorists too, who respect us and move over when they see us coming up behind. Their kids hang over the back seat to get a better look and wave like hell and when we wave back the parents wave when we pass.
    Many come up and talk when we are parked and look our bikes over and remark about them.

    Perception? Hell I bet a lot of them are jealous they have a car full of sprogs, a missus that will smack them around the head if they go over a 100kmh and wish they were as free as us.

    Enjoy your motorcycling, don't think so much, don't be so paranoid about our freedom being taken away because the day it is, democracy has ended and motorcycling will be the least of your worries. Make the most of your liberty while you can mate
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Not sure Boob and I will get along mate, I got my first decent infraction for calling him a cock.

    I am very pleased to hear that. It really is an unpleasant thing to be asked to suck the cock of a stranger off the interweb.

    Very distasteful indeed

    I once got sent a pic of an erect cock, with an earnest request for me to suck it? Friggen weirdo's abound really...LOL Got to love the internet really though

    Disclaimer: Katman did not send me the pic!

    Enough of the cock talk anyway, I am more keen on the hypocrisy angle here. Wonder how Wolf would feel knowing he is being called hypocrite?

    Maybe we should ask him what he'd think about a car driver opening their door on a filtering motorcyclist.

    I'm pleased you added that. I was starting to wonder just how drunk I'd been on here.

    And there's the reason he runs the scooter off the road. Not because years ago a Harley knocked his wing mirror off, but because the scooteress hit it herself.
