Motorbikes... they should look out for me!

Sorry I thought this was a site for petrol lovers. So I don't care what kind of Arga that guy wants to buy, or whether Lilly Allen is on a TV show or if plastic clothes pegs are better than wood ones. An old people's home lounge would have more exciting discussion!
So motorbikes. The government keep pumping out ads to 'spend more time looking for them'. Why? I'm in a car. If they come hairing up my inside nearly tearing off my wing mirror on the Old Kent Road then why should I delay my journey to look out for them. I won't go splat as I'm thoroughly encased in half a ton of very fast metal.
Why don't they put out ads going.. 'If you ride a motorbike, don't be an arse. Take more time not to annoy people in cars. Then 'they' won't have to take more time to look out for you.' Or better still if they just banned them, then I wouldn't have to 'take more time' to look for them at all. Great idea. I also note that they don't mention scooters in the ad. As we all hate teenagers buzzing about on those. And hands up, when one of those little hoodies hits a lamp post we all have a little chuckle don't we.. well don't we..?

Wouldn't worry about looking out for bikes; you won't be able to keep up with most of us.
Framps I think I saw you yesterday.
A C4S horned me for cutting him up on Threadneedle St and when I stopped and walked over to talk about it you wept like a baby in your car and just kept pushing money out the window and asking me to go away.
Is that why you want bikers to stay out of your way - because you're scared of them?
(Incidentally Framps has a combover and very thick glasses)

He seems like a bit of a character though...new members post with the enthusiasm of a new born puppy...until the hassle/abuse factor demands you think twice before hitting the reply button.....still it doesn`t stop me from posting the odd whopper now and again....

Garyhun, Spare us please!
Framps turned up on the Porsche forum (among others) about a month ago.
He has posted a series of asinine and highly contentious posts, mildly amusing to begin with, becoming more boring by the day.
He writes as though he is the last of the tycoons, when in fact he appears to be some sort of marketing “Hey You”. Like so many of the “nearly made it” brigade, he hasn’t figured out that people with real wealth don’t behave the way he does.
Lets leave him over on the Porsche forum, where they are more than capable of bludgeoning him to death with their keyboards.

Reading Framps posts brough a certain scene from a film to mind...
Quartermaster Clerk: One Swedish-made penis enlarger.
Framps: [to Vanessa] That's not mine.
Quartermaster Clerk: One credit card receipt for Swedish-made penis enlarger signed by Framps.
Framps: I'm telling ya baby, that's not mine.
Quartermaster Clerk: One warranty card for Swedish-made penis enlarger pump, filled out by Framps.
Framps: I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby.
Quartermaster Clerk: One book, "Swedish-made Penis Enlargers And Me: This Sort of Thing Is My Bag Baby", by Framps

Eh? Do you mean don't feed the troll?
Something like that, No personal offence intended, but Framps originally posted this in P&P and it was promptly thrown in here. (Like BB was a tank full of Piranha's perhaps?)
On the back of slippydiff's little rant about some yob on a bike wrecking his paint job, I'd hate the wider Piston Heads community to think we are just bunch of anti car louts on BB.
Just my personal view; but I would far rather take part in a positive discussion about motorcycling and motorcyclists, than read pages of insults traded between people who would never dream of being so rude to each other face to face.
Good luck with your test!

Agreed. I guess that's why I just said "yawn"! I am a car driver and a soon-to-be bikes so the yawn was more a "why can't we all share the road" but perhaps ignoring the post was more appropriate!
Double yawn.
This has been done at so many times the re-post/dull police don't even bother to open their eyes.
For someone who claims to be at the 'Head of Marketing' (M&S?) he has surprisingly little ability to add value, creativity or even construct a USP for his post.
*yawn*
Echo....

My first thought was "W*nk*r, I hope to meet him on the road one day". Then I read other posts of his and it's obvious the guy is just having a laugh. He's very tongue in cheek and I actually found some of his stuff quite funny. Seems light-hearted enough and I don't take his comments seriously - I don't think anyone really does. He does the poor-people bashing stuff a lot, and will no doubt become samey and boring, but for now he's quite amusing IMHO.

Was it me or did the rest of you think about middle aged bikers when watching the 'Incredibles'
Oh your stereotype standards are slipping Framps....
Everyone who's anyone in provocative thread (inner) circles, knows it's Power Rangers analogies that are used.
*durr* you're such a newbie
