Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Stories have also appeared in the local papers highlighting passengers' fears that the helmets could be used by motorcyclists to cast spells on their clients, making it easy for them to be robbed. "Some people can put juju inside the helmets and when they are worn the victim can either lose consciousness or be struck dumb,"

Just genius!

"Local government authorities often give motorbikes to jobless young men, saying it gives them a way to make a living. "

A cynic might opine that it's less of a social charity and more a clever way of getting rid of the people most likely to commit violent crime. I'd love it if our government handed out litre sportsbikes to chavs without a requirement for them to wear helmets, far cheaper to society in the long run.
