Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

What i don't understand is there is a place like Rivington which is for everyone to enjoy,
In fact before I got into bikes i would go there on a nice day an enjoy watching / photographing the bikes.

But why do walkers think it belongs to them, why do people with vehicles always seem to come 2nd

IMO, the way Windermere had the lake set up was fine as it was, low speed limits by the populated areas, then no limits everywhere else.

I took my boat up there at busy times, water skiers, sailing boats etc seemed fine to me, loads of room, people being sensible and not getting too close to each other.

I'd love a jetbike btw, I'd also rather use it in fresh water not salt water.

because the walk was before the ride-that and their middle class old gits with too much money and not enough viagra.

If I am in no hurry I stop and walk back and politely ask the meaning of the gesticulation expaining the road is for everyone-----impolite answer induces wrath.
Most of them do not expect you to stop.

Thats the thing with nob head jetskiers, they are he only ones the general public see, us lot go a lot further out / down river. That said the noise must still annoy people trying to fish but sadly thats life, it would be impossible for us to find a bit of water that someone doesn't fish

Trust me decent skiers hate the guts of the "ebay skiers" While trying to launch our skis we have to put up with ***** screwing it at 50 mph just feet away from the launching area, 18 months (new years day) ago we had to drag a young lad out of the water who came off his 500quid ski. It was -6 (water was 0.5 degrees) and he had a shorty style summer wetsuit on, 30 seconds and he went into major shock.

A lot of them are selfish and think the world revolves around them.

That said, when were green laning, we make an effort to be civil to people we come across as it breaks down barriers.

The same things happens in parks with people walking, walking their dogs, mt bikers etc, I went to a local park recently and the amount of people walking their dogs off the leads was unreal, I think that is more anti social than me on my mtb, in fairness though, a lot did call their dogs or restrained them as we came past and were pleasant to us so no harm done I suppose.
The ramblers were the fecking ones who won't move out your way, some of them are arrogant.

In regards to fishing, there will always be friction between fishermen and boats etc, they both think they have more rights.
A bloke I used to work with was a right Cnut when he used to get into spats with boat users, so fishers aren't exempt either.

I am so dissapointed...I thought this thread was going to be a rant at a well known manufacturer of crisps and the like...

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Haha, I thought they sold bags of fresh air, never many crisps in their bags

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Because of the unwanted attention it is bringing you. If you will miss the sound make a recording and play it on your hifi lol.

Yep no one with a loud can gets hit... lol If you filtering blip the throttle, works for me.
