Bikers deserve the way people perceive them

[wbks]

Edit: I should add that ignorance is bliss and people don't care about what doesn't affect them and what they can't see. We all know gangs can be dodgey (one of your "proper" examples) but if they're not selling drugs to anyone I know, why do I care? I have far more experience with I can see and what has an impact on my life, such as the inconsiderate bastard that hasn't mastered common courtesy.

Well by your very own logic, you should care because the drug selling harley riders there are (albeit a few skin heads or what ever, but they do exist and are on the news from time to time) giving you a bad rep as a fellow harley rider. Just the same as I should care what other bikers do because the shitheads give me and you a bad rep in the public eye, right?

You just dont get it do ya? I see you nicely edited out that little "knob" there...

She is not campagning here, merely pointing out a fact of life. And rightfully so. Subaru drivers have samll dicks, yet another fact.

And I'm pointing out that it's not every subie drivers responsibility to stop all other subaru drivers from driving badly to stop a bad reputation given to them. Knob

[MotoGirl]

I am not responsible for what the next biker does, just because I use the same mode of transport...

We are not obliged to care about what other bikers do. It's just a bastard when all bikers have a stigma attached to them and get targeted because of actions not necessarily caused by them.

(indignantly said..) I assure you that I haven't

A subie driver rides or drives what? Yes I am sacastic ...its just my nature!

Yea but the "blissfully ignorant" comment makes one think, you think that we should enlighten ourselves and do something about it. But I'm just making assumptions, so forget I ever said anything. I mean, at least I now know I'm an anal bastard who hates harley riders and even women who ride.

Sarcasm is always better when it's not in my direction

He was right inside the door, hence the temptation to have a few kind words with him.

I'm glad you didn't. Sounds like it was touch and go there though.

Cmon MG, where and when is this happening? I'm not seeing it. Yeah maybe some motorist rarely gives me attitude, but I fix that with a flick of the throttle - problem rapidly becomes a distant memory.

Females excluded....

[Ixion]

Y' all ever notice how many threads about bikers doing evil things, or not wearing approved gimp suits and such like start out "I was in my car .... "

Just saying.

Yes I did edit my post, it was uncalled for.

[MadDuck]

Just saying.

Well dont ... ok?

It may not be you that receives the attitude. It could the biker directly behind you that wears the wraith of a pissed off car driver.

We would be very silly to think that one rider's actions towards someone in a car cannot affect how that particular driver treats the rest of the group, or that driver's attitude towards bikers in the future.

A biker only has to annoy a driver one too many times for that person to have a lifelong hate for everyone on two wheels.

Irrespective of what we're doing when we see poor behaviour, it's still wrong. Some bikers may be recreational only but this doesn't make us any less qualified to judge dangerous riding.

[Mikkel]

Of course. I wouldn't put a biker at risk of hitting me through not knowing where I was headed.

And you've checked that your rear right indicator is working?

I had an experience on the motard not long ago. I was waiting to turn left at the lights and a bloody car sneaks up along my left hand side. I was thinking "WTF is all this then?" starting to get pissed off. Then he opened his window and told me that my tail-light wasn't working, but that my brakelight was. I had no idea if he hadn't told me - and there I was about to get pissed off with the fella. Just saying...

Subaru drivers have small dicks, yet another fact.

I can not belive that. Considering how many Subarus are on the road I'm pretty sure Subaru drivers would necessarily dictate the average penis size.

The question is, how would you know?? have you been doing a survey

Hmmm I drive trucks for a living....And spend anything from 10-13 hrs physically driving the roads , I see many dick heads in all modes of transport, But I have to agree with MG here.
Oh and why cant you lane splitters learn to be Polite when someone moves there rather large truck over as far as he can so you can get past safely...oh thats right I had 4 guys 1 in gang patch and 3 others riding with him toot and wave out when I moved over for them, really made my day until my return trip home when 12 bikes went past me splitting and I moved over for all but 1 of them and not one of the 12 waved or acknowledged me.
So guess what look out for me now cause I wont be letting you through anymore.
