Motorcycle dangers
From Mr Paul Smith

Sir, I am becoming increasingly alarmed at the rising number of motorcycle
deaths. These accidents, whether the fault of the motorcyclist or other road
users or even road conditions, are tragedies for a great many people. The
main problem seems to me to be the lack of protection a motorcyclist has.
I wonder whether we should start looking at restricting the use of
motorcycles to, say, minor roads, or even banning them altogether?

Yours faithfully,
PAUL SMITH,


So that's a well informed opinion then...

 

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

Cyclists are arrogant cunts anyway. WGAF what they think? Not me!

 

That's tabloids for you!

 

Er WC, that wasn't written by a cyclist - the link was posted in URC.

 

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

That doesn't change my view, except maybe an old fuddy duddy going out
on a Sunday to work off his lunch.. No, they're still arrogant cunts.

 

It stands to reason, really.

As a rule most motorcyclists exhibit an air of arrogance - a cockiness both
on and off the bike - that serves to counteract our increased
vulnerability - like a bird puffing it's chest out & spreading its wings a
little so as to appear larger to its prey.

And we do that even though we're garmed up with protective clothing and ride
vehicles easily capable of keeping up with the flow of the traffic.

So it's little wonder that cyclists, in their lycra romper-suits and tap
shoes riding paper-clip framed bicycles, are like us ^ 10.

Wankers - the lot of them. )

 

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

They shave their legs, too.

 

Clearly cycling is a front for not very brave, would-be transsexuals.

 

But at least they dont wear fluffy ears on their helmets.

 

They'd only shave them too.

And that would help how? If anything, it would just confirm his opinions.
His email is there too if you're really keen.

Now were they sensible indicating WHY he's not got a clue, then maybe - but
I still doubt he'd change his mind.

I wouldn't waste an email on a **** with blinkered vision. I agree with WC
in his reply above.

Well as they published it I reckon it was a debate opener. But as to why
he's not got a clue eludes me as there are't any replies to the letter yet
puublished either from hte editorial staff or public. But then again does it
really need a reply to prove anythiung

That's ok. I think you're a wanker as well.

 

I assume you include the serveral regular cyclists in this newsgroup?

When they pay the fucking tax they get a fucking say in what goes on.

 

But they do - VAT just like anyone else.
Oh you mean 'road tax' - no such thing any more mate.

I don't do walking down the road. Well not as long as the bike is
still upright anyway.
