Biker discrimination...

[Fatt Max]

Meant to post this yesterday,

I was out and about yesterday morning and bumped into an ex employer at the servo.

She was a total 'zilla to work for and I was gald I told here to shove her job where 'No Man Will Ever Want To Go'.

Anyway, forced pleasantries exchanged and she noticed the bike.

"Oh, you have a motorbike now" she quizzed

"Yes" I said (under my breath) "what do you think it is, a fucking foot spa you twat..!"

"Oh", she continues "you would have never been allowed that, it gives our clients the wrong impression"

"What do you mean by that?" I enquired

"Well, you know, the whole biker thing, gives off a bad vibe. I turned a girl down for a job because she rode a bike, its just not business like"

My reply was very knee jerk I'm afraid and not the usual way I address a female;

"Well, go fuck yourself then you two bob scrawney slapper, glad I mugged you off when I did, now go sit on a big rubber c**k for yourself"

Shock looked followed...something like this.......and I took off.

The point of this is I was interested to know has anyone out there had people look down their hooter at you because you ride a bike, and how did you deal with it.

Over to you my lovelies.....

Well gosh magolly madandy! I take it you didn't leave the best of impressions at the end there also

As for me, when I turn up in my stinky, torn, faded red camos and bug encrusted helmet, it must be a "eeeew filthy biker scum" reaction!

Funnily enuff once they get to know me, they realise I'm more than that.

I'm a seriously deranged fellow citizen in charge of edujmacating the youf of tamorrow and how the hell did they let someone like me in charge of them alone?

Keep up the good work there ... bringing people's enclosed world views crashing down in a pyrotechnic display of verbal extravanganza!

FM, you need to work on your people skills...!

I get this a lot. Normally from receptionists. I once got evicted by security when I turned up to the head office of a real estate office - the woman took one look at me and hit the buzzer for security. I was there to visit their CEO, who I then took a dislike to and told him he that I didn't want his business (and then I called our competitor and told him he we weren't bidding so he didn't feel the need to discount).

I work in Parnell, so occasionally get the long nose thing. It can be fun though, when I pull up next to snooty chicks in Remmers or Parnell, I often blow them kisses, or lean in and ask them for their numbers. Normally gets a smile from the posh bints.

The GF's father gives me endless grief about the bike, calling me a temporary NZ'er. We stayed there for a week once while the floors were getting polished - I lasted 4 days before I came home and slept with the fumes - all the doors and windows open in July...

Jeez Fatty you really changed her opinion didn't you??

Yeah have had it a bit but usually things change when they realise that my bike is more snotty than they are plus the fact that I too possess the natural skill of telling people to how they could enjoy themselves in the most delightful ways elsewhere

You sir, are a literary genius and no mistake my old trout n toolbox. Your posts are a pleasure to read.

Nobel Prize for talking posh should be bestowed on you as quick as a K Road slapper can pop the lid of a tin of lubricant.

Bling on the way my good man...a legend in your own trousers, I salute you sir....

It's funny the assumptions people make. I turn up on the Gix with dead cow on my back, and they assume I'm their to steal their wives and daughters. Instead, I'm quite a pleasantly spoken guy.

I was chatting with one receptionist, and she was absolutely shocked to hear that I had an education (7 years worth) - her reaction "but, you're a biker".

Oh, btw, the best receptionist in NZ by far (well, second best, our receptionist at work is the coolest by far) is the lady who works at TVNZ. Her dad's a biker - she always looks after visiting bikers, and she's a top chick.

tell it how you see it mate.

Good to see Best way to get in the crap.

Feck it mate the bitch deserved it. In the two horrible years I worked for her she

1. Cut my pay...twice
2. Didnt sign off on bonuses so we lost them
3. Called my little boy a nuisance and a noisy brat when I brought him into work for an hour one day (the lad was only 18 months old)
4. Admitted that she supported Arsenal (that that is fucked)

...and now, she dont like bikers

so...

she can go root a mountain goat, eh......

I had a boss who was forever bringing in newspaper clippings about dead/injured bikers.
It took me ages to find a report of someone who got struck by lightning on the golf course..........

He is a really nice guy who has a genuine concern for my safety, he just couldn't understand why I would want to ride.....

Ods Bodkin and stone the flamin' crows, I take it you like Kipling? For I have never kippled meself! Tis' a right blarney you can write with your jousting on the tarmac of turmoil and yet you still have your wits n' humor left!

Now not to toot my own horn melodiously or ascribing lofty assignations of my ability to ask askance questions, I am a most vexed and apocryphal poster of a discerning and mitigating nature.

Like you, I view life at a tangential existential frame of mind, prey to all the foibles, follies, discrepancies, dillentantes, pecadilloes and other such observations of our fellow human beings (I would say man, but the PC brigade would have my guts for garters and I shan't be banging on that drum my dear dollop of doldrum busting!).

Alas it seems I am approaching the sticky wicket of my word count soon in this post that seems to be like a doughboy rolled in sticky jam and coconut tossed into a weight watchers camp. Soon to be devoured, fought over, mulled and then with a sigh "is that all?"

So being a happy camper and with my day resplendent with the pregnant promise of more riding, I shall have to doff my cap to you sirrah, tug my forelock and concealing the tar and oil and other motorbiking unguents encrusted on my hands, give you the old sailor 'ow d'ya do!

Dear poppet, I am 'umbly your everlasting and most worthwhile servant (sic) ugh.

Nice retort, FM... but it's not QUITE the NZ way... a simple "get fucked" would have sufficed. Just FYI....

Fuck 'em and feed 'em catfish.

Max is going to be great when he gets a grown up's bike. :-P
