Default Real hard bikers - respect

Got a call off sister no2 this afternoon. She'd skidded off the road up on the north Yorks moors. I got up there about 3pm. Freezing fog and -4 degrees C. Got passed by 3 bikers, and they weren't hanging about.

My gob was smacked.

Respect

I saw a fair few sport bikes out today - all CBR RRs no less!

Nutters. I contented myself with going into the garage to start the bike up and let it warm up a bit so the battery doesn't go flat. And, y'know, asphyxiate myself.
