Well done.. You've found a way of not accidentally associating with a**eholes just because they happen to own bikes

Bizarre! I was brought up around there and most people would associate more with Scots than with the English - as we're seemingly so cut off still. Really sorry to hear this- I'd imagine these were guys on "racing" bikes with matching leather though

I used to live on tyneside and in truth the geordies were the friendliest bunch you could ever wish to meet.
That was awhile ago though,when they used to build ships and Lindisfarne used to play at the City Hall.There's also an extra bridge across the river and an ugly tin structure waving at you as you drive up the A1.Times change.

And there was me thinking that all the people who want to pretend they are boorman and mcgregor on their BMW bikes were the worst culprit's for not waving back!

That really is a shocking tale - I perhaps naively always thought that bikers were bikers no matter what colour or creed you were? I guess there are always the few that will give others a bad name - hope you wont let it spoil your opinion of geordie bikers!

two of my friends wear cross of St George lids, not bigoted, (one is actually Scottish, Born in Scotland, Scottish mother, but lived all their life in England). Why wear these lids. Simple, both are members of the England supporters club, go to all home matches and quite a few European ones.
Thing is, they don't nod to anyone. So not racist. Simply ignorant.

More disappointed than angry. As I said before I've worked there for years and the people are the friendliest ever. Just my luck the knuckle dragger **** holes were out.
FWIW - No matter who it is in my neck of the woods - they'll always get a welcome, a nod, a chat or an invite for a beer or a dram. |

Kids! Baldyman had no snags on his recent John O'Groats trip and Samurai (Leigh Jr) even wore his Engerlund footy shirt down the pub in Highland Clearances territory with no hassle, but it does only take a couple of daft kids or grown up ******s to create a bad impression... |

I'm very disappointed. I thought bikers were bikers, regardless of where they are from etc.
But obviously, even bikers can be bigots!! Sorry to hear about this Stuartyboy. Some people are just plain ignorant. |
