+1

Nothing against anyone who gets on a bike no matter how briefly each year, my problem is when they ride in a way which causes people to see bikers how we ourselves are seeing them within this thread. Foolish Wreckless Inconsiderate and Intimidating. Its gives the commuting rider a bad name, the amount of times I've heard "oh you bikers are all the same" and similar comments from car drivers really frustrates me. So when I hear or see bikers acting like this it winds me up because I know for every biker who got annoyed at least 10 car drivers will now have the same frustrated attitude towards bikes.

Sorry OP that you've been witness to this kind of behavior but you know as well as I do it is a select few that act like that, and its those select few that it ends painfully/instantly for.

It just makes me chuckle when they come flying past and I'm sat there behind them on the bends riding a 215kg (dry weight) CB 750.

Ok poorly driven sports bikes and not fair weather riders.

Its just all the idiots with egos bigger than their small skill levels come out only in summer with shiny new super sports in 1 piece leathers. Its easy to see why fair weather riders get blamed.

Why so diplomatic?
