Silly Motorcyclist

[thomas]

You may as well just watch the video, and read the description there...but having given me incorrect HC advice he then stalls, showing his lack of motorcycle skill and one of the main reasons I wouldn't want him that close to me, especially when trying to filter in front of me at a roundabout gains nothing.

As a motorcyclist too, I wouldn't normally piss myself laughing at anyone (learner, or not), stalling, especially as that roundabout would be a horrible place to stall... but I'm sorry...I just couldn't help myself here.

What a nice gentleman ;-)

I like the irony in a 'biker' with L plates trying to instruct someone on the correct positioning on the road.

Errr.......I wasn't aware that LEARNER RIDERS were qualified to do that?

Nice stall too.

Oh, and where the effin hell do they want you to ride, through or over parked cars?

Lol! I would have told him, "You have a nice day too, I'll give you a cheery wave if I'm out on my 650 and I see you ... oh, and did I mention that I've passed my motorbike test? That's why I ride a 650 and not a hairdryer!"

Where as I'll say

"You have a nice day too, I'll give you a cheery wave if I'm out on my c90, the world's most popular motorcycle...which is ridden by the nicest people and I see you ... oh, and did I mention that I've passed my motorbike theory test? "

I have had one of those ... at the front of a queue of traffic, stopped to let a whole load of pedestrians across the road at a zebra crossing, I landed on my crackers and made a noise like, "OOOOIARRGIARGGOOO!" I could have died of shame ...

I had a guy on a motorbike cut me up on a corner once. He then stopped at the traffic lights immediately after and I made a comment something along the lines of mutual two-wheeled respect and looking out for each other or something, and he just revved his engine at me. Nice.

I had a biker join me in the ASL box at the front of a queue of traffic in porstmouth, he flipped up his lid and he started the conversation as follows:
"Ere, mate, you ain't gonna beat me on that y'know!"
"No, I know. I ride a motorbike myself though."
"Y'wot? Why iz you on that poxy thing then, innit?"
"Because I like to keep active and healthy."
"Naaaaa mate, all that lark's fer nonces!"

Lights changed and off he went. That just about sums up the attitude to many people in the UK towards exercise .... and here we are with the highest obesity level in Europe ...

I had a go at one today, with a "L" plate, had to remind him that cycle lanes painted green with a solid white line were not for motorbikes. A short discussion followed as the lights turned green. Dam shame as I had more to say lol
