Rant: Who ARE those people who....

The trouble is, his point about victim mentality is equally applicable to the motorcycling fraternity (and probably to the same number of its members, proportionally). "I am more vulnerable therefore I am already a victim and my conduct is beyond reproach". Its simply not true. If you ride like a victim, you will become one. I see holier than thou loud-pipes-save-lives knobbers every morning doing rev-limiter posturing and sanctimonious head shakes at cars who have done nothing really, whilst a good proportion of the conflict can be blamed on the motorcyclist who was doing something unexpected or not strictly within the law. But they are so clouded by the victim-fog, they don't see anything other. Its galling, I hate those t
ts. Be fking accountable and get your head around the fact that you are not every other road user's highest priority. 308mate said:

^ This, in a nutshell, combined with engaging some basic common sense. It is a total lack of appropriateness, common sense and accountability that leads to so much overburdening legislation, which inevitably leads to a race to the lowest common denominator.king accountable Chaps - let's just remember it wasn't that long ago that everybody hated motorcyclists. We used to get a lot of angst against us, but since MAMIL's there are very few anti-motorcyclist threads because literally EVERYONE hates cyclists!
They've done us a favor by diverting everyone's anger to them.

Agreed, although 308mate comes across as old skool....They've done us a favor by diverting everyone's anger to them.

So you rather have smoke from a marlboro in the air than a whiff of cola. Weird.
I mean I know I'd far prefer a marlboro, but I'm trying to quit. My mouth waters and I feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory when I go into a duty free. But, if I was an uncool, I've never smoked before kinda lycra wearing cyclist dude I'd prefer bubble gum or cherry or watermelon.
I mean it's not as bad as going into a restaurant or at work when someone has a fking white cheese bding sauce over their meal. That st makes you gag, how anyone can put off milk in their mouth is beyond me. That's more anti social and should be banned and forced underground.
Honestly I would rather breathe a lungful of Marlboro, yeah! It's the sickly sweet horridness about it.I mean I know I'd far prefer a marlboro, but I'm trying to quit. My mouth waters and I feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory when I go into a duty free.

I get they're a great tool for quitting, and fair play if it's something that you need as the addiction hits you harder. Luckily for me I seem to be immune to smoking's cravings, so can have a couple of packs in a boozy weekend and give up without repercussion.

You lucky bugger!!! I haven't smoked since 2004 - I had a puff of my daughter's fag a couple of weeks ago, & only now are my taste buds back to normal! I thought I was going to start all over again....Biker 1 said:

It's actually a town on the A4 with plenty of parking and a choice of coffee shops near some great Wiltshire roads.
This is biker banter, not board games banter.

Yet another incident to provide ammunition against the MAMILs - wkers. I'm normally very anti-horse - can't see the point, apart from police crowd control kettling & some interesting continental salami. Quite why you would ride one on a public road, given that there are multiple bridleways, I have no idea - even saw one in the evening rush hour on a major trunk road near my place. However, I give them a wide berth, slow right down for them & pull the clutch. They are often ridden by posh-totty, who mostly thank you - live & let live.308mate said:

Hopefully the bloody MAMILS will be next in line.

What about every hulking bell-end on here with a Rossi replica lid? They need to go thrown into the same see as the Team Sky cyclists.
I have a Haga rep and a Rossi rep lids and I don't give a fk what you think k? On the bright side, I did find myself riding home alongside Chris Walker one evening, which was nice. Me & Mrs B driving down a country lane this morning minding our own business. Road wide enough for two-way traffic to easily pass. We turned a corner & had the fking MAMIL peleton of 30-odd bikes coming towards us at 6 abreast, taking up the entire width of the road. I flashed my lights & basically had to perform an emergency stop to avoid a head-on collision, which was greeted with much gesticulation & swearing by the bloody plastic bike riding scum, as if I was in the wrong for daring to drive on that particular road. Why they continually seem to go out of their way to give cycling an ever worse name is strange.
I almost wish I hadn't stopped - would've been a few less of the wkers around to spoil my next drive.....
