The Local Rag

Two stories which made me growl today:

1) "People who ride motorbikes....don't have much fear"

--yerp, thanks for that, you sell us, you "retailing supervisor", why is your dad being a policeman relevant to this story?




------------------------------

2) "..the service is of particular use to people who need to use their cars early the next morning"......

....and

"...ScooterMan is associated with DoT through its THINK! Anti drink drive campaign"

So if you're going to get leathered and have a skinful, you can responsibly get Scooterman, and then get caught for being over the limit the next morning - or just simply go out and kill a child on your way to school because you found a way to get your car home. Not to worry though, you did the right thing the night before.

Did somebody get out the wrong side of bed this morning?

I thought James Coover had a CG125, but maybe it's a scooterman bike?

I actually think the idea of the scooter thingy is a good business idea. If the person is responsible enough to call them in the first place, one would hope that they are responsible enough not to drive over the limit the next day?

didn't james may and richard hammond do the scooter man a while ago, glad to see their going from to strength.
bikers don't have fear, mmmm. he wants to stand in my shoes and try telling my wife on a friday night where hes been.

I sh*t myself every time I see a Volvo or a 5 Series Beemer.

You know it's perfectly possible to have a drink and be legal the next morning, right? Everything's got a potential downside, why focus on the negatives?

Looks like a Virago to me...

Even so, they'll be less pi$$ed in the morning

I wouldn't say sh*t myself, but I definitely got that sinking feeling when I spotted the black beemer move in behind me on the M4 yesterday.

Nice enough bloke though, a mere 3 points instead of a ban. Shame I've already got 6...

I wasn't thinking about unmarked plod, more about senile old giffers in Volvos and to$$ers who drive BMW's. I've heard of colour blindness, I've heard if tunnel vision but this particular breed of idiots seem to have developed bike blindness
