MCN's idea of 'entertainment' at their annual bashes - Status Quo, Bad Manners, Slade tribute acts, etc. Not exactly enticing the kids* into biking with tosh like that. (*anyone under 50)
Bikers that drive touring bikes with all the cases and top boxes on and are only going to the tea room and back.....why
Guys that ride BMW's with an 's' in the model name but not with 2 r's and a 1000 in it. Who are they trying to kid. They're the sport bike equivalent of a combover.
I hate scooters that from the front look like bigger bikes. I give them a nod and then realise its a chav and am gutted i got fooled
Ha. I had a geezer come in the shop the other day and asked if I still had my bike. I'd last seen him before the accident so I told him that I now had a FireBlade. He thought that that was far too powerful and unnecessary and that he was perfectly happy with his 500, thank you very much. So, in an air of biker camaradery I said 'lets have a look' and he led me outside and showed me this big bore scooter, you know, the ones that look like invalid buggy's with two wheels. I felt violated.
Bikers that think they are some kind on post apocalyptic cowboy. More chrome that sense, Garage worth of tool in one tool role mounted on the bike some place, pictures of wolfs and leather with lots of naff studs.
Billy Mitchell ears stuck on helmets. Rain. Extra grit on corners during cold weather. Any form of scooter being called a bike. Receiving 2 emails a day from Hein Gericke and Grand Prix Legends. Not being able to ride everyday is possibly the worse thing about biking
Not having enough mates who rides bikes..in fact i have no mates that have bikes Know lots of people with bikes and have met a few from these forums but theyre not close by etc Thats my biggest gripe about biking for me
