    I'm not sure if I agree with you there or not. A lot of the time in a car
    its not what you don't see more what you *can't* see. You get so much
    better forward visibility on a bike than in a car. Dropping back isn't
    always an option because somebody will always come along and fill the
    gap.

    I'm not saying there are no bad drivers as some obviously are, just as
    there are crap riders and good riders. Sometime we need to look at the
    situation from the other persons POV and make allowances accordingly.

    IMHO of course.

    I actually thought you might be foreign. If you're not then just suck it
    down as an insult and stop being a baby.

    And Des does the clique stuff. Do you really want to align yourself with
    him?

    More likely that the car test is about getting a piece of paper that
    allows you to move around, motorcycle training is about staying alive.

    Its not the not looking bit I disagree with merely the ratio of lookers
    to non-lookers.

    I think most car drivers are lookers you think most car drivers are
    non-lookers.

    #Lets call the whole thing off
    Heh, when I did my bike test was about the only observational skill
    required was recognising the examiner so you didn't run him over during
    the emergency stop.

    I think accident rates might have been a bit higher back then...

    Oh, it wasn't, really. I wouldn't even have remarked on it, but for
    the striking physical similarity between the two of you.

    boredom.

    Wow, it's like poetry when you write it. I could listen to you all day, in
    fact with that degree of redundancy I imagine people often have to.

    go on then, who's in it?

    I know, you could divide people up according to cliquishness and make
    a web page about it...

    You may need an operation, it's not that uncommon on this group.

    Yes.
    Yes.
    It depend on whether you can ride or not.

    Yes, those Aprilias can get you into a lot of trouble.
    Try and get a red one, they allow you to ride faster.

    Not to mention the U-turn, hill start, getting it off the centrestand,
    picking it up from horizonatl, getting to know the nurses in A&E ...
    Not to mention the Shift key.

    Really? Let's check again:

    "Indeed. It's often astounded me at the poor observation skills of cage only
    drivers I've been in the car of."

    So it's me, is it?
