Would you cycle near this Biker?

She's a silly little girl playing in a world that she longs to join but doesn't really understand, while following the journo crowd that says it doesn't matter what you say because if you talk rubbish you'll just get talked about more and that somehow makes you successful.

Integrity. That's the word of the day. Integrity.

And this is why she has fallen off her Harley so often in such a small space of time. A 350kg bike is not a good choice for a novice

Almost as bad as that mini-skirted cycling one they've got in the Sunday times.

Oh, that wee lassie has been crow-barred into that job. In the In Gear section?

You know when you read an article and you think "You must be the editor's nephew or summat, you can't write for shoot."

Is she that desperate for fame that she'll try anything, or can she not just find a proper job?

Lets keep the debate on them in the green wheelie bin MrP

She picked a Harley for her London commute.

The mind boggles.

Listen to her talk. She's rubbish

"It's not all revvy and twitchy; it's stable and fat and sits on the road, and all that low-down torque pulls it away from hill starts without having to twist the throttle frenetically. Listen to me! I almost sound like a biker."

No dear, you sound like a twat.

I've a fairly deep suspicion of Harley Riders but girls on them is silly, doubly so if they're newbs

Saw a bloke drop a Harley on a roundabout once when he got off it to push it to the curb and then couldn't hold it up

Me a several assorted drivers laughed, smirked or outright guffawed

Erin's Blog has become essential and regular reading for me now. It never fails to amuse. It's like a Private Eye parody. Here is a gem from Aug 20th:

“Time for a shocking confession: I've never watched Easy Rider. Isn't that embarrassing? I think I might even have lied about it before, for fear that a proper biker chick would have the DVD on her shelves at home and know the script off by heart.”

You have many camps in the biking fraternity

Most do give a nod when they pass others:-

Scoots & 125s - sometimes, if they are aspirational to proper bikes
Trail riders - don't seem to regard themselves as bikers (rarely seen on the open road)
BMW - very rarely nod, fairly aloof and snobbish (look for the IAM sticker)
Harley - mostly Born again and terrified of high performance machinery (do nod mostly though)
Sports bike riders - vary in ability enormously - look for unmarked knee sliders as a clue to experience and lack of prowess, some very capable riders out there who hone their skills on the track
Honda VFR riders - enormously egotistical, try to a part of the gang and will nod occasionally. Think they are riding sports bikes and will happily push very hard on the roads regardless of any others around them - Only seen on the track in the novice groups getting in the way of they sports bike riders as they wobble into the corners at low speeds. No shortage of heroics though as they try and hussle such large and lardy touring machines through the corners (not to be confused with real bikers)

The female in the OP seems to be a stupid cow with no bike handling experience, making a hash of riding a bike then bitching about it. Grow up you stupid mare.

Come on man, don't beat about the bush. If you have something to say just say it.
