Why bikes are better....

[pmr01]

This is a rant and for that I apologise.

I have motorbikes, I also have a couple of quite quick cars. I have noticed the trend now for some years but I was completely exasperated this morning after going a drive in a car on a nice, dry road; not going mad, just out having a little bit of fun.

My observations are:-

• It is not socially unacceptable to travel along a 60mph road for circa 5 miles doing somewhere in between 26 and 33mph.
• It is socially unacceptable to overtake the same people who are doing 26 - 33mph...on a straight, putting no one in danger and in actual fact, not even breaking the speed limit; Well, judging by people's reactions.

I am not basing this on one journey, this is an observation over a number of years.

So, to my point....it does not appear to be socially unacceptable to do the same manoeuvre on a motorbike which means that to go out and enjoy a drive at speeds YOU want to do - not someone else - then bikes are better.

you're right...I thought if I really let loose then the haters may have aligned that behaviour with someone who was driving like a horse's ass!

In the context of enjoying yourself on your vehicle without others will causing you a prob....

To the previous poster....you're a keen biker and a car man....what can you enjoy most without appearing like an ass; a car or a bike? The answer is a bike, the enjoyment in a car is going to be curtailed by others. That is my observation.
