Thanks for the entertaiment yesterday. I dont aggree with everything you guys do, like you dont aggree with us, But the rant yesterday was all in good humour and i hope you didnt lose too much sleep over it.
Have fun, and watch out for us cutting you up, :D
My opinion: The majority of motorcyclists (not scooter riders) make up the best drivers on the road (probably as a result of the highest fatality rate). My father is a an old hells angel and aside from the obvious bikes he also owns a sports bike (Suzuki GSXR1000 MotoGP)... I've a lot of time for bikers. He's also got a lot of time for fixed-wheel cyclists. We share a view that each mode of transport and the lifestyle surrounding it is right for it's time and place. We also think that there is a lot of overlap and similarities in the things that draw us to our choice of transport and the community around it: freedom, love of machinery, people... the almost off-grid lifestyle as well as being out on the road feeling the seasons.
With that in mind, I wanted to say that within both biker and cyclist communities there are some absolute cunts on the road. And neither community should attempt to defend those individuals just because of a similarity in transportation choice.
I think overall we should follow a general thing that says 2 wheels = good, 4 wheels = bad. Though obviously I think we can all agree to make exceptions for recumbents and scooters.
Anyhow, I enjoyed rick-rolling a whole forum yesterday. I was laughing throughout. And yes, some people on both sides took the whole thing way too seriously.
