After my little encounter with a biker BIB the other day, and his refusal to nick me, the bloke I was riding with, or a serial 4 wheel monster, I've come to the conclusion that biker BIB's are more tolerant of "misbehaving" bikers, than their 4 wheeled counterparts. I say this cause I've heard other stoires of biker BIB's having a friendly word, admiring the machines, and letting guys (and gals) off with a watrning.

Now, I'm not complaining, au contraire(sp?)....The biker BIB could have made me relinquish my licence, but nope, he told me to slow down, and legged it!

I'd love him to be on here...

So, just a one-off, or do I have a point?

Cheers.

If you're riding like a complete halfwit then points are there for the taking, but a little, er, progress often results in a bit of a chat and some advice.

It also depends on how you deal with the BiB. Respect breeds respect...

Having ridden with lots of off duty BiB I know they love their riding as much as we do and understand how easy it is to get a little carried away.

No I think it is a fair point.

I suspect plenty of biker BiB are well aware that bikers, um, enjoy enthusiastic driving (and they most likely enjoy it themselves)...
