Name one thing you hate about using your bike...

[MikeyC]

However minor...

For me, it has to be having helmet hair... you just can't look good, no matter how hard you may try, when you park up and take your helmet off!

[biggerjohn]

[the grim reaper]

It has to be the time consuming leathers on/off thing, negates any advantage gained on the daily commute.

My lid- it gives me a headache if i ride continuously for 2 hours without taking it off.

I let you know when I find something.

Get to leave for work 40 minutes later

Get home within a hour instead of 1.5hrs via train

Don't have to wait for a train

Shopping with a ruck sack takes 5 minutes instead of 30

It only does 170mph.

[karen_moomin]

The entire process of getting ready to go out on my bike, unlocking it, unlocking the gate etc. It takes about 20 mins just to leave!

I also hate helmet hair, I have to plait it if I don't want a giant tangle afterwards.

One more thing - the wobble of the bike itself.

[ali-b]

[Keith]

The fact its got a few leaky gaskets at the moment and the bugger is costing me more money than a 2 stroke.

Well,

Carrying helmet / jacket around when you get off
The embarrising oil patch it leaves when its been parked up
Getting wet in the rain
Having to spend 15mins getting fully kitted up before going anywhere
The instability on wet roads
The Wind
The Wind Noise
The fact that how ever obvious you try and make yourself, some drivers still dont pay any attention to you
The attitude that all bikers are angry and should be avoided at all costs
The attitude that we all race around at 300mph in 30 zones
When cars pull right over to the left hand side curb, as if to say "Go on, go past then", when all you want to do is sit behind them like a normal person at the legal speed limit...

Oh and

The inability to "Hide in it" when it gets cold and wet
The inability to "Stay in it and keep warm" when you brake down
The inability to eat a mcdonalds inside it when its full inside and too cold to sit outside

and ofcourse;

The funny looks you get when you go through a mcdonalds drive thru... Although admittedly i do find that kind of ammusing! Especially when you ride off with your g/f on the back holding the cokes

Drivers who are scared shitless because they have a bike behind them, you can see them twitching, then they slow right down so you have to overtake them, its the hesitation and indescision that gets me most about this.

[dransy]

having to unlock it everymornign at 6am before work and having to warm it up as its a 2 stroke
