when you filter through traffic and cars move over to try and stop you getting past.

Throwing up with your lid on :oops:

Did it on Sunday..................started feeling a bit rough, thought 'better ask Pete to stop I think I'm going to be..............' Too late :oops: :oops: :oops:


Luckily I got my visor up in time and it was poor old Pete who bore the brunt of it :D :D :D

Totally agree

Mercedes and BMW's by any chance? :lol:

then you have:

Outside lane drivers
People on the phone :hackedoff:

Another pet hate is when you have a bike cop on your as*. Trying not to accelerate too much so he realises that your exhaust is a bit too loud :twisted: :lol:

Seeing random dribbley dark patches in the middle of the road, and not knowing if they are oil patches, or water dripped out of exhausts.

On the bends...

Have to agree with BigApe, im pretty chilled when im on the bike.
In the car though I get annoyed at all the idiot drivers, mostly BMW drivers and other big car drivers who dont seem to have a clue :evil:

I always finds its Volvo and 4x4 drivers that are the worst. When I'm in a car I go out of my way to p*ss off people in the really big 4x4's I ruddy hate them! :twisted:

I also agree with the front & rear fogs in daylight especially in the tyne tunnel, and the cars blocking bikes from filtering. I'm sure they will stop doing it when the have no wing mirror to see you coming :lol:

switch on your rear fog lamps when there is no one close behind - but switch them off as soon as they have done their job and the driver behind can see your regular tail lamps. For example, if you are in a slow moving queue of traffic in fog, the driver 5 metres behind doesn't need your fog lights!

I hate it when...



you put your helmet on and realise you forgot to put your ear plugs in.

I don't care about fog lamps in the day, its when someones got one headlamp higher then the other cus they haven't adjusted them right. You just know it ain't getting sorted till the next MOT.
They always seem to end up behind me, blinding me in one of my mirrors.

I hate Taxi drivers and cyclists, niether seem to have any road sense. Cyclists think its everybody else's problem to avoid them and taxi drivers just think about the next fare so niether look at whats happening on the road.

The Peugeot 206 Marked police car that insists on racing me everytime i get infront of him on bypass home. I know it's the same cop/car as it's always the same plate :roll: .

He's never won yet though :twisted: :roll: :lol:

You'ev obviously never had someone be sick on you while riding then ;)

I'm a bit like Grinch... I hardly ever ride without my back protector, it feels weird not having it there, and I know full well the first day I don't is the day I crash... But I'm always, always forgetting to put it on, until I have the jacket on and zipped, and sometimes gloves too.

Except, my new winter jacket has a Knox back protector built in- quite good, not as big as the real thing but it's proper CE armour- and now I keep on forgetting NOT to put on the back protector.

Bit like me? are you... hairy back then...

I do that.. I keep forgeting to put my back protector on, normally remembering when I have my jacket on. I've also forgot to put my boots on, walking out to the biek in a pair of back shoes.

Anyway... who was sick and why?

During my regular counselling I have been taught to appreciate that hate is a very negative and non productive emotion/force. I therefore no longer have that word in my vocabulary nor view things in that light.

Now there are merely one or two things that I don't really care for. :riding:

I really hate:

1. Cagers who intentionally block my progress.
2. Cagers who, when trapped in traffic queues don't look before jumping into that gap that's just appeared in the lane on the other side of my filter line.
3. Police speed traps on the A13 that cause the traffic queues that endanger my health and bike.
4. Scoots/bikes filtering behind me with their headlight on full beam. "Yes, as well as all the cagers I can see you mate and I'll pull in when I get the chance but I can't see s*&t ahead of me, thank you very much you tw*t. In the event that I miss something appearing in my path please sign something to say 'yeah, it was my fault she was blinded'." :evil:
5. Cagers who just don't look.

....I'm sure there are more... just can't think of any more right now. :D

Only thing that annoyes me is people who are all over the road because they're on the phone, kids not being strapped in. Summer brings out blokes in full 1 piece leathers & Arai lids, and a girl on the back with an open faced Tackai Lid and a denim mini skirt... and crop top, sure she looks stunning, but how good will you feel when you come off and you're fine and she's a mess? Also people that block me when I'm filtering, and scooter riders that think they're the next Rossi and cut you up.

Maybe it's time I spent some more time with the counciler :lol:

I hate hate but I love (to) love (and my baby just wants to dance). Actually that's not really true but there you go.

I do really hate people being on the road at the same time as me. It should be me or me and invited friends only (well, within 1 mile radius of where I am anyway!) and traffic laws are not applicable to those in my presence. Team
