Just a quick message to say thanks a lot to the guy on a Fireblade who pulled over to see if I'd broken down last night. Think it was on the A453 at about 11:30pm. As it was I'd just pulled over to use the phone but it was awfully decent of you to pull over to offer your assistance. Thanks again and happy driving, Simon

It's great to read that there are still very decent people out there , bikers don't seem to mind TVR drivers too much, in fact, I get more waves from bikers in the Tam than anyone else!

As a bike rider meself, I've always had a soft spot for cars that are a bit diiferent. I remember blasting done the A6 alongside a Cobra rep on my Harley some years ago. 427 cubes, magic.

A very nice memory I have was of returning from the harley Super-Rally in Holland in '87. They put the bikes on first, we tied them down and went off to the bar. When we were allowed back on the car deck, an original Cobra was parked alongside the bikes. We all untied the bikes, and not one of the Harleys started up until the Cobra had rumbled its way off the car deck, to much grinning from all of us. Hearing that bellowing V8 in a confined ferry was just magic.

Could be a small part of the reason we now have a Griffith.

I've never had any trouble from bikers in the S2, they sit happily behind her on windy roads when I am belting it along ...... a normally wave, or acknowledge as they pass..... Total opposite to being in the Mazda......
Must be something about the TVR that they respect

Yep i always get on with bikers. Had a few games with them on those nice country roads, and always exchanged a wave when we part our ways. We all like the same thing, only we differ on the number of wheels required
