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.

The guy's a d!ck.

It's open mouth and spout some well meaning drivel just to keep his name in the spotlight at election time.

But hey, lets stop rocking climbing, sky diving, pot holing, Scuba diving, rugby, boxing and crossing the road. Don't forget, smoking, drinking and Cadbury's creme eggs.

It's his 15mins of fame. Don't even worry about it.

every cloud...

Bikers die often at the hands of irresponsible car drivers. If being vulnerable is a crime, perhaps we should legalise weapon ownership so you can defend your property. Or shoot the idiots who don't see you. That ought to reduce accidents.

TW*T!! springs to mind here

but on a serious note, this may seem like nonsense to alot of us, and we may be clever enough to know to ignore it, and just take it as a pre election rant, meaning nothing, But just take into account all the people that will read this, that arnt enlightened or clever enough to realise its just a confidence boost to him, and how many people are goin to read this and go "yeah good point" and pass it on, more than a few i bet!

I have a child and I want to ensure that in the future he is able to make his own choices - not have some "well meaning" (yeah right) person tell him how it is going to be
