It's sex night

WInning post.

he beat the internet

Finally this thread got good.

This makes fine reading wonder what more outrageous reasons will come next.

^Ha. That film was brilliant.

There can't be too many people riding in from the west with a bar bag and map holder setup so if you are that high viz wearing person - punch yourself in the cock you fucking rim licker. That ped red you ran had a woman and child crossing behind the van which you couldn't possibly have seen. Fucking nozzle.

Has anyone got actual stats on cars running red vs. bikes?

Don't know of any but, anecdotally, I'd guess more bikes do it because they're able to even if other vehicles in front have stopped.
