Default 400cc+ Scooters...

What the hell is their problem!? Do they think they have something to prove?

"Oh look at me, I'm on a scooter, but I'm gonna make damn sure you know its not just a 125 by riding like a complete ****!"

"If I put my feet on the pillion pegs it makes it a proper bike. See."



I get this guy EVERY morning with his bird on the back weaving in and out doing about 50 in a 30. "Racing" every other bike on the road (old kent road) with his stupid open face visor, god I hate him... And it's the same with most big scooters I see, must be some kind of deep seeded insecurities there somewhere...

Feel a bit better now...

From my experience it's those, riding so called 'proper bikes' that appear to be the most insecure. Now I'm not saying you are but perhaps you may get my drift

Glad you feel beter letting it all out mind :P

Lol

Suggestion for you.....why not leave a bit earlier or even later than usual? That way, you get to miss them on your daily commute and you keep your BP down to boot

Let them get on with it

Relax, you will have a much better day if you dont let the people around you wind you up.

I'm with quest though, most people that moan like this, moan because they think its dangerous and wreckless because they cant keep up/filter as quick, so therefore it must be wrong to do so.

He probably gets to work stressed and moaning like you but because people infront of him are filtering slower and dont move over, so he has had to weave in and out of traffic to get by.

That should send the message to him alright ......just make sure SK doesn't capture that on his cam......hands off handlebar can get you done for riding without 'due care' or summin similar you see
