Motorcycles in your bus lane

I have noticed that no-one has come up with "I ride a moped"
There must be someone.

Not on this forum. Moped riders are all wankers ;)

I ride a scooter too :)

I ride a moped, but its a HHSM . . . beter than my motorbikes round town and couldnt give a shit if it gets kniced (i have had 3 mbikes stolen in the last decade)

They're coming out!

I often rev my engine at traffic lights because the fueling is so damn shit that it will either cut out or bog down if I don't. But it's not very loud, anyway.

Yes. Me too.

I have found that stalling at the lights makes my cock look small as well.

Stalling is like the unclip-fail topple

Stalling is like the unclip-fail topple

But one of those two is much, much, much funnier to cyclists

Happened to me last night... outside my front door! D'oh.

"Motorcycles can now travel on most Red Route bus lanes across London for an 18 month trial ending 4 July 2010.

...

New signage has been installed on all relevant routes to show which bus lanes motorcycles are allowed to travel on."

I know there's been a bit of an ongoing thing about motorcycles on the forum (which I don't wish to rekindle) but the trial has officially started today, so be aware.

TFL Q&As and feedback

The search fuction is your freind... massive thread about this started last year (as in January last year not last year as in 5 days ago) including a link to TFL feedback IIRC...

Not as bad as I thought it might be today.....first day cycling in the everymanforhimself lane.

Motorcyclists were polite, and gave room. I did notice that many of the motorcyclists today in the bus lanes were learners.

Yep. I looked at both threads that came up when I searched. Perhaps I should have resuscitated one, rather than starting a new one, but as long as people know one way or the other, huh?

motorbikes are our friends, especially those low powered old ones that you easily jump in behind at the lights and get where you're going a whole lot faster.

And for the SS/geared riders, you can grab on the back of them and not put any work in at all, works better with flatbeds/pickups though.

And you can ride them round a velodrome with cyclists racing behind

Sorry not only was I a bit tetchy this morning, but I didn't read your whole post... I totally blame first monday back at work and all that and not the fact I'm obviously a dick!

Looks like one's been resuscitated as it is!

Again sorry for being so sarcastic...

Learner motorcyclists (rather than moped drivers) usually appear in 3s. It's there training before the test.
That's not to say seeing one alone is uncommon, but I love those little strings of motorcyclists frantically doing there lifesavers at every opportunity whilst being herded along by a huge dude on a GS1200 or something.

No, no, that's cool. Luckily I was wearing waterproof mascara...

What do you think of my next idea? It's a thread that you post on when you see someone you know riding a bike in town.

I'm thinking of calling it "I-Spy". I had a quick search but no results came up.

Good idea. Do it.

Hmm, I don't know - it seems obvious somehow.

I had another idea, about Muslim places of worship this time. It's such an obscure subject that it couldn't possibly have been mentioned before!

I did searches on "Masjid", "Imam", "Minaret", "Muezzin" and even "مساجد". Couldn't find a thing.

How about a thread on bikes your building at the moment?
