    This will scare you

    One of the guys at work (mid fifties-ish) and I were taking about travelling times to and from work and I said its all ok for me cause I ride a m/c "Oh really" Yeah thats my m/c jacket on the coat stand. The one with the fluro vest. Then he says "Are you allowed m/c's on the motorway" !!!! WTF !!!! I tell him he's the reason I were the bloody fluro fucking vest. How scary is that. This guy spends half an hour on the motorway each way and he's out there just waiting to cut you guys off. Watch out.
    If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    i think thats about 90% of drivers.

    had a taxi come into work yesterday: pen in one hand, and a sheet of wordgames in the other no wonder i dont like bloody taxis!

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    I know a woman who's learning to drive at the age of 40. She was stopped at traffic lights the other day and a bike came up behind her with its headlight on. She said, "that's a really good idea. I've never seen it before. More bikes should do it because it would be safer."

    This is one person who should never be allowed to hold a driver's license.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Well they are now trying to get cars to drive with headlights on... this will just blend in the bikes to the background again and make us lee visiable (to those that do actually see)

    Travel with your high beam on then.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Yeah nothing new there Mikey62 most cage drivers when they cut you off give you a look like what the hell do you think you're doin on my road!!
    The prick who cleaned me out a few years back jumped out of his car and started raving at me and he was the a-hole who ran the red light at the intersection luckily there was a cop across the road on a beemer who witnessed the entire scene and threw the book at the senile old prick!!!

    Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!

    Yeah I just got some new gloves with the armour on the knuckles great idea, good for taking out mirrors!! Also handy as a knuckle duster.
    Slightly expensive but worth the investment.
    We've just gotta face the facts until you've ridden on two wheels you will never appreciate how vunerable a biker is!
    Maybe all license holders should do some time on two wheels it would make the roads a safer place. When I drive I always look for bikes and give them right of way even when they're riding like a fucken looney!!!

    Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!
