What? ____________________ Motorcycle riding can be really cozy. If you want to be a little closer to your passenger, brake a little quicker for the next stop. |

Do try not to be so BCF for one day. It's in the right section, it's for a cause that benefits bikers, and the chap went out like a proper boss. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It was a genuine question on my part, as it happens. |
Fair enough, I was more aiming some pre-emptive retaliation on the assumption that it'd turn into another fuck-da-charity mob thread. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Because they might want to, would be good enough. It's just a quick FYI, posted in the right way and place, and I don't want to see it black-blobbed, is all.

But we don't generally know their names.
Now I know the name of Bill Barker and that he made a conscious decision to put himself in the way of danger to protect others from it.
No, I'm not going on this ride, but I approve of his actions and appreciate having them drawn to my attention. Got a bit damp eyed and stiff-upper-lippy to be honest. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
