    Congratulations for making all motorcyclists look like a bunch of cunts
    with no roadsense or courtesy for other road users.

  2. Not the WUN, Platy and Dodger invasion force again?

    <sigh> when will they grow up?!

    Heh.

    There were around 50 bikes in convoy - weaving about between lanes, with
    pillions standing up and waving cameras around. They successfully slowed
    free flowing traffic from 50mph down to 30mph with their antics and I
    saw several who caused cars to stamp on the anchors to avoid swiping
    them as they weaved around.

    Bunch of cunts, the lot of 'em.

  5. Nope. :) And as a cage driver, I do try and allow cyclists to filter,
    despite my envy of their progress.

    Other than the dickwad with a sidecar parked in the disabled space at
    Toddington services on Thursday, of course. With no sticker.

    btw, are riders of those weird tricycle motorbikes supposed to wear helmets?

    Probably disabled. Why else ride an outfit?
    And probably fed up with people nicking his blue badge so he doesn't display it.
    No.

    Not as a legal requirement, no.

  8. So is my dad, but he displays his badge, or he gets a ticket.

  9. Ah, thanks. Presumably they don't fall off as often. :)

    More that nobody would notice the effects of a head injury.

    Not in a private place such as a supermarket car park.
    I presume Toddington services is the same. Unfortunately it is quite legal
    for an able-bodied rider or driver to park there, and apparently compulsory
    for the police when stopping off for a quick doughnut.

    Lots of trike riders come "pre disabled" <nods to NABD> so the helmet
    question is moot

  13. I did think that.

  14. Some supermarkets do ticket and clamp, bless them. Our local Sainsbury's
    "gave" its car park to the Council, and they really enforce the blue badge.
    And yes, the Plod piss me off mightily when they do that, lazy fat gits. I
    do believe that some service areas clamp - the ones that limit parking to
    two hours free seem to.

    Indeedy. Some cnut had parked in the MC bay at Harlow on Thursday. I
    debated leaving the Triple just parked behind her [1], but decided that
    it would probably be reversed over. [2]

    She [1] had a ticket when I got back, which made me chuckle. Pikey
    employee was moaning that the sign didn't make it clear though [3]

    [1] Might well have been a bloke, but baby seat and so on in the back
    just mad it *feel* like a woman's car.
    [2] No, there's wasn't anywhere else to stick the Triple other than
    squeeze it right next to the CG125 (MSOHP) which was already pretty much
    boxed in by the car.
    [3] The fucking great 10 foot high one with 'Motorcycles Only' written on it

  16. I suspect that would have been the South Wales Wing Ding.

    Wing Ding for a load of Bling?
