C*nt on LY07UVR, a red and white motorbike

Not what your missus said.

I have the big bike becuase its more fun than cycling and driving.

Big bikes definitely look more fun than driving.

Now I'm waiting for the trolls from car forums to come and hissy-fit all over the place...

ok now that the debate has pretty much finished and is into mindless insults can i say thanks for perpetuating the beleive that bikers are stupid and arrogent to others. it's taken a long time for those of us who are actually inteligent enough to try and get along with the rest of the world to push that image away from the biking fraternity and you just managed to damage that good work.

Because with cyclists, it's ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE who is in the wrong. Yawn.

Bod, if you want a sensible discussion, suggest you lose the attitude and just ride.

in all seriousness the problem is this:

a car driver does something stupid and dangerous. He hits another car, in the main, both cars are totalled, but everyone gets out and walks away.

a car driver does something stupid and dangerous. He hits a bike or motorcyclist. He walks away, cyclist / motorcyclist does not.

So, when another road user (bigger/faster/heavier) does something dangerous, it's not their own life they're gambling, it's the life of the (motor)cyclist.

It's not that they're wrong per se (though I would argue that the original poster found himself in a situation where the motorcyclist was wrong by deliberately attacking him) but that few other road users consider the fact that they're not really gambling their own lives but that of (motor)cyclists.

I would have thought you'd sympathise. If LY07UVR was a car, would you stick up for him?

Unless specifically permitted in an insurance policy, using a vehicle under race conditions, whether on a closed circuit, track or the open road invalidates the insurance because of the potential effects on the performance of the vehicle. You'll find insurance companies and their loss adjusters have a habit of making it their business.

Therefore, if you've raced, you are now commiting insurance fraud.

How did you get to be too dumb to understand that?

Try Google for an explanation of "Trackday" and "Race" while your there try looking up "fuckwit"

trackday is still classed as a closed circuit and therefore you still invalidate your insurance. why do you think they ask you what you will be using the bike for when you insure it.

I would've thought motorcyclist would sympathise with the cyclists (as well as cyclists sympathise with motorcyclist), because of the greater risk of losing a life from a simple collision.

Hmmm Call me sad but i just took the time out to call Bennetts and MCE insurance and asked them

"If i had a motorcycle policy with you, and i also used my bike for racing, does it invalidate my insurance?"

The reply was

"Your insurance is not valid on the track, however as long as your vehicle is not modified past those listed to us when you take out the policy, it is not invalidated"

So just to reiterate I have not invalidated my insurance by racing my bike, as long as it is not modified past those listed to my insurance company. Which it isnt.

So night night fuckwit, go find some other bullshit to spout out!

Oh dear, what happened? I only said burn Yamahas because I have a Honda, KTM, Husaberg, Laverda and Bultaco last time I looked in my garage. All gathering dust and seizure.
Lets have a group hug.

This isn't a motorbike/cycle vs cars thing really though, it's an update of mods vs rockers.

erm while you had them on the phone did you mention you new end can?

LMFAO! If I wanted a sensible discussion I wouldn't be posting on here!
Quality.

The end can i only use for racing?

I dont use it on the road as its not road legal :)

And how do you know its new :/

Lets not all get upset eh!
The op suggests that a particular motorcyclist is a cnut.
Stinky bait if you ask me, sure we have jumped in and taken the piss out of you all but it is all part of growing up.
Take it on the chin, roll with it and get on with it.
We have had a bit of a larf, christ some of you are so serious about it. Its the internet FFS.
FWIW, if the account of what happend in the op is accurate then i would say that the rider was a bit agressive and wrong to do so.

Now slip into that nice tight dayglo lycra and come over here ya sexy lot. MWAH!

My insurance is all declared im afraid. The only thing i need to change is my Exhaust end can (Thats the bit that goes on the end) and that takes a matter of seconds.

I only ever go out on tuesdays. Thats when the local lycra club are out. They like to smell my exhaust fumes :) One of them once tried to make love to my exhause while it was still warm. he said he couldnt get laid becuase all the women could see how tiny his cock was in his tight shorts.

erm you need to check your own posts mate.

trackday is still classed as a closed circuit and therefore you still invalidate your insurance. why do you think they ask you what you will be using the bike for when you insure it.

I have an old Citroen AX back then (surprisingly reliable), and I loved driving it a lots that occasionally I enter track day occasionally just to have a blast (the car is extremely light despite having a weak engine), when I read the agreement form of the insurance company that I insured my car with; they specifically said that the insurance is valid for road only, not off-road, track racing etc. that'd either need a different insurance or a seperate insurance.

you're mucking about on track with a higher chance of a cock-up than on the road, that alone should be enough to realise that your current insurance for the road where you drive sensibly and carefully isn't good enough to be covered on track.

LMFAO! If I wanted a sensible discussion I wouldn't be posting on here!

troll. sink the thread...

Fair play BigGayBiker. I bet you're a delicate flower underneath...

i ride my bike (cycle) everyday. I also own a car and therefore pay road tax, i pay income tax, i pay council tax, i pretty much pay all kinds of tax, so in theory i, by your standards am allowed to drop my tuppence. The fact that i don't use my car very often therefore lessening the congestion, by 'one less car' everyday means i am allowed four pence. Unfortunately only the cycle users on this forum, seem to be talking any sense, (not all of them mind). To my mind, two wheeled road users should look out for each other, because we are all at a disadvantage to the bigger 4 wheeled users, if you bikers who have found your way here, don't agree because you have seen a cyclist wearing lycra before and therefore think they are gay/small dicked/arrogant/poor/all of these, then go fu.... shit i ran out of pennies, must pay next 6 months road tax so i can speak more of my mind.

Doesnt state that i ride with an illegal exhaust.

Says all i have to do is change my exhaust to be road legal.

My mods are listed so i can use my race bike on the road. I just put my Road legal can on. Its still gives off a nice smell :)

You mean Rockers and Hipsters.

yes.

Stinky bait if you ask me, sure we have jumped in and taken the piss out of you all but it is all part of growing up.

if the cyclist in hospital had the motorcyclists clipped him and send him off the road causing serious injuries, would you still come in and take the piss out of us? can you understand why we do get upset when something like that happen?

occasionally we post an "rider down" topic when a cyclist have an incident/collision to show awareness of other cyclists, some of them are our own, do you have that in your forum?

We have had a bit of a larf, christ some of you are so serious about it. Its the internet FFS.

you can able to have a larf here without resorting to petty insult to us, granted we did the same when we heard an incident, but I like to think we do that within reason as there were some cunts on road, and secondly there's actually quite a handful of motorcyclists here in this forum who is quick to point out that the motorcyclists or the cyclists is in the wrong within reason.

FWIW, if the account of what happened in the op is accurate then i would say that the rider was a bit aggressive and wrong to do so.

that all we need to hear mate, thank you, we would have more respect to motorcyclist had you came in and said simply that.

Big fucking yawn.
