Are wing mirrors fair game?

Has it? I must have missed the transition period somehow.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Bear amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

On a slightly different note but on the same sheet, I accidentally
clipped a portable generator that was hitched to the back of a Transit
van yesterday. There were roadworks in a space that was tight to turn
anyway. Nothing major but I saw the thing move so stuck the handbrake
on, went get out and the bloke just motioned me to carry on going. IOW,
it wasn't even worthy of consideration.

Top banana.

 

You don't say.

 

Feel free to explain.

 

I see the problem. You're linking the acknowledgement of the dangers of
smoking with the non-existent acknowledgement of the environmental issues of
our time.

 

O.K. I don't give **** or a shit either then and henceforth reserve the
right, when in my cage, to:

1) Drive like a ****
2) Show no consideration, whatsoever, to any other road users.
3) Cut up those fucking motorcyclists.
4) Prevent, wherever possible, said cunts from filtering .
5) Not use my indicators.
6) Bludgeon, to within an inch of his miserable life, any fucking gobshite
biker who so much as *touches* my wing mirror, with the baseball bat I keep
permanently in my cage (and I *will* fucking catch you, you ****!)

Furthermore, I do henceforth reserve the right, when on my bike, to:
1) Ride like a ****
2) Show no consideration, whatsoever, to any other road users.
3) Go for gaps that aren't there.
4) Filter like a twat.
5) Not use my indicators.
6) Bludgeon, to within an inch of his miserable life, any fucking gobshite
cager who so much as *touches* my bike, with the baseball bat I keep
permanently sticking out of my rucksack (and I *will* fucking catch you, you
****!) .

So, everyone clear on that then?

Just hope I don't meet myself really

 

Sounds good to me.

 

Beav scribbled:

So a motorist calls police;
"Yes sir, can we help you?"
"yes, this smelly biker was squeezing between me and the car next to me
and knocked my mirror off, I didn't do anything and he was going at
least 150mph"
"Righteo sir, thats all the evidence the courts need, we'll send off a
court summons straight away"

Oh, right, as you were...

 

IME that's not the case, unless you're saying they'd treat it
differently for a bike. They came around some time later and then
fucked off once there was no damage to my car. In the time they took
to show up I could have fixed any amount of damage if it had ever
suffered any.

 

Right, agreed,

 

Beav scribbled:

Are you permanently on the blob?

 

Frag has taken more than you could possibly imagine

'Hog

 

Beav scribbled:

Yup, definitely on the blob.

 

'Hog scribbled:

And after that lot, Beav thinks he can actually annoy me, as opposed to
catching me on a bad day.

Heh.

 

Beav scribbled:

I believe someone put it eloquently when they said "Mind you, should I
give a ****...?"

 

Beav scribbled:

If a thousand Beavs type for a thousand years...

OK, how much deeper will Beav get? The upper mantle? Right to the

Prace your bets!

You're trolling, right?

 

It may not matter anymore, anyway.
